Managed IT services and cybersecurity for mid-market French enterprises
NowBrains is a 20-year-old managed IT services firm anchored in Microsoft enterprise infrastructure (365, Azure, Entra, Exchange, Active Directory) with expanding focus on cybersecurity, AI integration, and data strategy. The hiring mix—predominantly engineering (5) with minimal sales velocity and one IT Director role—reflects a services firm scaling delivery capacity rather than GTM; pain points around team expansion, client retention, and contract economics signal operational maturity but margin pressure in a competitive services market.
