Established in 1989, Systonic is a recognized provider of secure hosting and managed services, serving a client base that includes 60% private-sector businesses and 40% local authorities. This acquisition creates an opportunity to deliver a unified, end-to-end solution to Systonic’s customers, encompassing connectivity, cloud services, and cybersecurity, to better address their continuously evolving requirements.

This marks inherent’s fourth transaction since the start of the year, following its acquisitions of devensys cybersecurity, Conexio Telecom and Everlink. The investment in Systonic enables inherent to broaden its product and service offering, consolidating its expertise in hosting and managed services, and strengthens inherent’s infrastructure footprint, bringing its total number of data centers in France to 16. The acquisition of Systonic will also enable inherent to further strengthen its commitment to the public sector.

Systonic will be integrated into one of inherent group’s four main brands, adista, and Damien Delavie, Chairman of Systonic, has been appointed Director of Cloud and Infrastructure at adista.

Pierre-Jean Beylier, President of inherent Group, said: “We are delighted to welcome Systonic to the inherent Group. With over 30 years of experience, Systonic is highly regarded by its customers for its service quality and commitment to clients. This integration reinforces our regional footprint and drives forward our growth in cloud hosting services, united by a shared mission to support digital transformation across France.”

Stanislas de Tinguy, Partner at Keensight Capital, concluded: “We’re pleased to support inherent through this new chapter of growth. The acquisition of Systonic clearly reflects the group’s ambition: to build a digital leader capable of meeting the complex needs of both public and private clients through a comprehensive, high-performing and secure suite of services.”
