FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1 — How much does an IT service provider in Paris cost for an SME?
Our managed services rates depend on the scope of the service: a basic support package (help desk + maintenance) and a comprehensive MSP package (proactive monitoring, advanced security, strategic guidance). For one-time needs (audits, migration projects, compliance), we offer fixed-price project rates. In all cases, we provide a customized quote within 48 hours after assessing your needs.
Q2 — What is your response time in Paris?
Pour nos clients en contrat d'infogérance, nos équipes interviennent sur site en moins de 4h en moyenne sur Paris intra-muros (Paris 8e, 9e, 15e, 16e, 17e) et les communes limitrophes (Boulogne-Billancourt, Levallois-Perret, Neuilly-sur-Seine, Issy-les-Moulineaux, La Défense). Helpy, notre agent IA, répond 24 h/24 et 7 j/7 ; l'équipe humaine est disponible de 8 h à 19 h. Pour les nouveaux clients, devis sous 48h et démarrage de prestation sous 1 à 4 semaines selon la taille du parc.
Q3 — What is the difference between IT outsourcing and IT maintenance?
La maintenance informatique se limite à l'entretien du parc et à la résolution d'incidents (quand ça casse). L'infogérance, ou plus précisément les services managés (MSP), couvre un périmètre beaucoup plus large : supervision proactive, cybersécurité avancée, gestion des accès, sauvegarde, conformité RGPD/NIS2, accompagnement stratégique. L'infogérance moderne anticipe les problèmes au lieu de simplement les réparer.
Q4 — IT Systemes in all of Paris's arrondissements?
Yes, our teams serve all 20 arrondissements of Paris, with quick response times since we established our presence in Hauts-de-Seine. We also cover all municipalities in Hauts-de-Seine (92: Boulogne-Billancourt, Levallois-Perret, Neuilly-sur-Seine, Issy-les-Moulineaux, La Défense), and we take on projects in other departments of Île-de-France (78, 91, 93, 94). We also provide remote support to clients throughout France.
Q5 — What certifications and partnerships do you have?
IT Systèmes est partenaire Microsoft et compte des certifications Microsoft et ANSSI au sein de son équipe. IT Systèmes est certifié ISO/IEC 27001 par AFNOR Certification pour ses activités de conseil, de réalisation de projets, de sécurité et d'infogérance, sur son site de Malakoff (certificat n° 2026/119451.1, valable du 21/09/2026 au 20/09/2029).
Q6 — What business software programs are you proficient in?
We are proficient in several business software solutions used by small and medium-sized businesses, including Cegid, Pennylane, Silae, and Microsoft Dynamics 365. For business software specific to your industry, 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?
Notre support standard est joignable de 8 h à 19 h. Helpy, notre agent IA, traite les demandes 24 h/24, 7 j/7, 365 jours par an : pendant les horaires de l'équipe, il suffit d'écrire « humain » pour parler à un technicien. En dehors de ces horaires, les interventions humaines sont facturées au double du tarif en heures ouvrées.

There’s no difference in substance: both terms refer to a partner who manages your IT systems. What matters is the actual scope of the contract and the level of support. At IT Systèmes, you have a single point of contact who advises, implements, and maintains your systems.
Do you provide services outside of Paris and the Île-de-France region?
Yes. Our teams are based in the Île-de-France region, but we operate throughout France and provide on-site support when necessary. Our supervision, help desk, cybersecurity, and managed services operate the same way regardless of your location.
