Groupe IMA operates a 24/7 assistance network serving 5,400+ staff across seven countries, handling emergency response and ongoing support for mobility, health, housing, and legal needs. The tech stack—Active Directory, SAP, Salesforce, Azure DevOps, plus emerging AI (GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT)—reflects a large enterprise moving from legacy infrastructure toward cloud and automation. Current projects cluster around digitalization (voicebot deployment, digital travel insurance journeys) and infrastructure modernization (VMware adoption, data center migration), while pain points center on process digitalization and self-service efficiency—typical for a mission-critical assistance provider scaling beyond phone-based operations.
