It is called a system integrator and it is a piece, the most important, of a constellation of companies all specialized in the various areas of the ICT. The Group is called Genesys but the heart of everything lies in Webgenesys which is precisely a system integrator able, according to the company presentation, “to respond effectively to the design needs of end customers thanks to a wide range of transversal skills in the areas of digital innovation and cloud transformation “. It was they who collaborated with the Prime Minister and Agid for the definition of the Cloud Enablement Program, which defined the set of activities and resources necessary for making an administration capable of creating, operating and maintaining its IT infrastructures using cloud technologies and services.
