Constant growth in business communication needs

Development of computer networks, new information technologies such as video conferencing, the convergence of means of communication: the demand from companies in France and Europe is growing constantly. The recent economic situation has forced them to rationalise their costs and to work towards new, more economical solutions. Axians has responded to their needs with offers that make a difference, especially for voice over IP, combined fixed/mobile technologies and the development and securing of networks and information systems.

This allowed the brand to reach 2009 revenues equivalent to those of 2008, with a higher volume of orders.

Axians’ emblematic projects in the course of the year included: the outfitting of the studios of the European Parliament in Brussels, the computer network of the new Netherlands main office of Manpower in Diemen, and the computer infrastructure of the new French main office of IBM in La Garenne-Colombes.
