Presentation

En 1997, au commencement d’IMS Networks, un projet territorial engagé à travers sa contribution à l’aménagement numérique du territoire de Castres-Mazamet, et qui pose les fondations solides d’un acteur numérique responsable. Depuis 26 ans notre entreprise accompagne les organisations publiques et privées, à concevoir, optimiser et intégrer des infrastructures complexes et critiques. Nous opérons et améliorons la performance de ces infrastructures dans le cadre de services managés convergés « réseau et cybersécurité ».
Et c’est autour des attentes de nos parties prenantes, et d’une organisation client centré, que le modèle entrepreneurial d’IMS Networks s’est construit, développé, et poursuit sa trajectoire vers une monde numérique plus sûr et plus résilient. Nous sommes ainsi certifiés ISO 27001 depuis 2015, ce qui souligne notre engagement continu à investir dans nos infrastructures et nos processus de gestion. En tant que partenaire de premier plan, nous accompagnons plus de 350 structures sensibles dans leurs projets de transformation digitale, assurant la sécurité et la réussite de leurs opérations.
