Valiantys: Global IT consulting services

As companies grow and evolve, there are pivotal moments where access to scale-up financing becomes a game-changer, driving accelerated progress. ‘’Like any ambitious organization, we set bold goals. Our mission was to fast-track our transformation, establish a strong foothold in strategic markets, and gain a decisive competitive advantage. At a critical juncture, securing financial support was essential to achieving this vision’’, says Florent Razafi, Group COO at Valiantys.

Valiantys is an IT consulting services company with expertise in the adoption of cloud and AI solutions within the Atlassian ecosystem, serving primarily large enterprise customers, including 65 Fortune 500 companies and the likes of AXA, VISA and LVMH.

IT SOLUTIONS FOR EFFICIENCY GAINS

“Our solutions aim to foster collaborative work, generating efficiency gains for companies that are growing and transforming,” explains Florent. “We are the world’s largest partner for Atlassian solutions, with a global presence spanning North America, Europe and Australia, helping our clients achieve productivity gains or unleash product creativity, reduce time-to-market and streamline production cycles.” Valiantys prides itself in building connections between Atlassian stacks and other systems, helping customers to bridge gaps between adopting Atlassian tools and embedding modern agile practices across their organizations.

GROWTH & BUYOUTS

The company, originally founded in France in 2004, expanded first across Europe, and then grew significantly through a number of acquisitions to reach its position today as the largest global partner for Atlassian solutions. Most recently, with the financial support from growth buyout investor Keensight Capital, itself backed by the European Tech Champions Initiative (ETCI), Valiantys was able to acquire partners in the US, Australia and Germany and grow: “As a business, we are closely tied to Atlassian, so when Atlassian experienced significant growth, we wanted to follow suit and capture the market opportunity. We aimed to establish a dominant position in strategic markets for Atlassian while acquiring unique intellectual property to enhance differentiation. With these acquisitions, this is exactly what we did, and we have since doubled the size of the company,” The ETCI is designed to support European tech champions, like Valiantys, that are seeking significant financing in order to grow their companies to the next level and take on global competition.
