Solucom finalises merger with Hapsis and strengthens its positions in cyber-security consulting

Solucom today announces the finalisation of its merger with Hapsis, announced on 19 March 2015
 

Solucom consolidates its position as leader in the cyber-security segment

Founded in 2002, with a staff of 30 consultants, Hapsis is an independent consulting firm specialised in risk management and digital security with a client portfolio including several key accounts, notably in the banking sector (Banque de France, BNP Paribas, BPCE and Société Générale), and other majors such as Axa, GDF SUEZ and Safran.

The Hapsis assets acquired by Solucom will have reported full-year 2014/15 revenues of €4.3m at 31 March 2015, for a positive operating margin.

This merger is perfectly in line with Solucom's strategy to step up its expansion in the cyber-security consulting market in general which is in the full throes of growth with the multiplication of threats.

Effective merger as of 1 April 2015

As of today, Hapsis' teams have been integrated into Solucom's risk-management and information-security division.

Under the terms of the agreement, Solucom has acquired the bulk of Hapsis' business assets in an operation financed entirely in cash.

Hapsis will be consolidated in Solucom's accounts as of 1 April 2015.
