Emerging ITAbout
Emerging IT installs, secures, monitors and maintains business IT from Grasse, on the French Riviera. Three engineers, over fifty years of combined experience, and one principle: you always know who is looking after your setup.
We cover the whole information system: network, servers, workstations, backups, monitoring, security, all the way to software development and AI integration. One contact from the cable to the software: this continuity avoids grey areas between providers.
SMEs from a few workstations to several hundred, local authorities and a few key accounts entrust us with their IT, most often by taking over an existing setup. What works is kept; we only replace a tool when it raises a security, reliability or cost problem.
Sectors
SMEs from every sector, from a few workstations to several hundred. Some industries come up often, each with its own constraints.
Grasse obliges: laboratories, production, traceability and formulas to protect. Data that stays with you, on your own servers, never in a third-party cloud.
Workshops, sites and remote locations; workstations that must hold up in harsh conditions.
Sensitive data hosted on premises, under your control; closing periods and business software to maintain.
Several offices, mobile staff, and email that must never go down.
Health data, compliant hosting, service continuity.
Town halls and district councils: public tenders, tight budgets, citizens to serve.
Specialist assignments alongside in-house IT teams, as far as Paris.
Service area
Our office is in Grasse. Monitoring, maintenance and support are mostly done remotely; we come on site for installations, audits and the incidents that call for it.
Grasse, Cannes, Antibes, Sophia Antipolis, Nice, Monaco, and the whole coast down to Toulon and Marseille. This is where we travel most often.
Businesses followed from Grasse, with trips to the island when an installation or an audit requires it.
For some key accounts, alongside their IT teams, mostly remotely.
Commitments
You know the first name of the person who answers, and they know your setup.
Network, servers, access, backups: everything is written down, and that documentation is yours.
Centreon, Ansible, Wazuh, Veeam, VMware, Kubernetes: standards others can take over, not black boxes.
Zero risk does not exist. We reduce it every day, and we tell you where you stand.
Our story
Fifteen years of business IT around Grasse, under two names and with the same people.
Philippe Candido starts CPF Informatique to bring together the freelancers he was already working with. Managed services, monitoring and backups for SMEs around Grasse.
Michael De Castro joins the team. Centreon monitoring, Ansible automation, VMware virtualisation: client setups become documented, versioned and reproducible.
Philippe Candido and David Etienne co-found Emerging IT at 61 avenue de la Libération in Grasse. Three complementary profiles, over fifty years of combined experience, and the same clients followed without interruption.
Managed services and cybersecurity are now joined by application development and AI integration, with models that run on your premises. In the field, we meet business leaders around Grasse for a digital maturity barometer: conversations, not an online survey.
Team
Systems, networks, automation and security: each of us holds one part of your setup, and all of us know it.
DevOps, Linux expert
Founder. Linux, monitoring and server security.
Philippe founded CPF Informatique in Grasse in 2010, then Emerging IT in 2022, which he chairs. A Microsoft certified engineer (MCSE), he has spent his career between Nice, Monaco and Paris on Linux infrastructure, Nagios and Centreon monitoring and server hardening. He publishes his tools as open source: Linux hardening with Ansible, automatic inventory, MariaDB high availability on Kubernetes.
DevSecOps, automation
Infrastructure written as code, deployed without surprises.
A systems and network engineer trained at the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis, certified by VMware (VCP-DCV), Cisco (CCNA) and Microsoft. Michael ran critical production environments at IBM in La Gaude, then automated deployments for SMEs and software vendors in Grasse and Monaco: Ansible, Docker, Kubernetes, Centreon, Prometheus and Grafana monitoring. At Emerging IT he automates and secures deployments, from the server to the application.
Networking, infrastructure, servers
Co-founder. Networks and servers that hold.
Infrastructure engineer and co-founder of Emerging IT, David has designed and operated networks, virtualisation platforms and storage for industrial and banking groups: GE Capital, Euro-Information in the Paris area, SPIE ICS in Sophia Antipolis, then CPF Informatique in Grasse. He is the one who draws the network, sizes the servers and organises the takeover of an existing setup.
