Frequently Asked Questions
Q1 — How much does IT outsourcing cost for an SME in Malakoff?
IT outsourcing rates for an SME in Malakoff vary depending on the scope of services: a support flat rate of 25–40 € per workstation per month for basic services (help desk + maintenance), and 60–100 € per workstation per month for a comprehensive MSP package (proactive monitoring, managed SOC, advanced security, strategic support). For one-time needs (audits, migrations, compliance), we offer project-based pricing; we provide a quote within 48 hours following a free audit.
Q2 — What is your response time in Malakoff?
For our clients with managed services contracts in Malakoff and neighboring towns (Vanves, Châtillon, Montrouge, Bagneux), our teams respond to on-site emergencies within 30 minutes. Remote support is available 5 days a week from 9:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. (optional 24/7 on-call service). For new clients, we provide a quote within 48 hours and can begin service within 1 to 4 weeks, depending on the size of your IT infrastructure.
Q3 — What is the difference between IT outsourcing and IT maintenance?
IT maintenance is limited to equipment upkeep and incident resolution (when things break). IT outsourcing—or, more precisely, managed services (MSP)—covers a much broader scope: proactive monitoring 7 days a week, advanced cybersecurity, access management, backup, GDPR/NIS2 compliance, and strategic support. Modern IT outsourcing anticipates problems rather than simply fixing them.
Q4 — Do you provide services in Malakoff and throughout the 92?
Yes. Based in Malakoff, we primarily serve Malakoff and the surrounding towns (Vanves, Châtillon, Montrouge, Bagneux), throughout the Hauts-de-Seine department (92), and on a project-by-project basis in the rest of the Île-de-France region (75, 78, 91, 93, 94). We also provide remote support to clients throughout France.
Q5 — What certifications do you have?
IT Systemes a Microsoft Solutions Partner (with specializations in Security, Modern Work, Infrastructure, and Data & AI), with more than 60 individual certifications held by the team (Microsoft, ANSSI, ISO 27001). Our ISO 27001 certification process is underway, with completion expected in mid-2026. We are also partners with Mailinblack, Wallix, Yooz, and several other leading software vendors.
Q6 — Which industry-specific software programs are you proficient in (Cegid, Sage, EBP, Pennylane, etc.)?
We are proficient in the main industry-specific software used by Parisian SMEs: Cegid (Expert and Quadratus for accounting firms), Sage (SME and 100c), EBP, Pennylane, Yooz, Libeo, Spendesk, Silae, and Microsoft Dynamics 365. For industry-specific software tailored to your sector, we also offer custom development (our “hyperdevelopment” service).
Q7 — How does the process of switching IT service providers work?
Our transition process takes place over 8 weeks: scoping and audit (S1-S2), training and skills transfer from your outgoing service provider (S3-S4), supervised shadowing (S5-S6), pilot phase followed by production (S7-S8). Your outgoing service provider has a contractual obligation to provide access and technical documentation (reversibility clause). We manage the transition for you, so you can continue your business as usual.
Q8 — IT Systemes GDPR-compliant and hosted in France?
Yes, we exclusively offer solutions hosted in France or within the European Union (Microsoft 365 data center in France, Azure EU, OVH, Scaleway). We assist our clients with GDPR compliance (processing activity register, optional outsourced DPO, compliance audit). For sensitive sectors (healthcare, legal), we offer HDS and NIS2-compliant architectures. No data transfers outside the EU without explicit, documented consent.
Q9 — What is the minimum company size to become a client?
We serve organizations with 10 or more employees. Our simplified, all-inclusive MSP offering is tailored to microbusinesses and small SMEs; our flexible offering is suitable for SMEs with 50 to 200 employees; and we provide customized services for mid-sized companies with more than 200 employees. For organizations with fewer than 10 employees, we recommend solutions better suited to your size.
Q10 — Do you offer service 7 days a week, or only during business hours?
