PERFORMANCE
Criston results race ahead
All systems are go for Sophia Antipolis-based IT and security management solutions provider, Criston.
Criston posted record high results for the first five months of 2009 with sales up 30% from the same period in 2009. Company profits were also up after year-on-year sales of licenses jumped 50% and over 20 new major contracts were signed in France and in international markets!
These results “demonstrate how we can supply our customers with innovative technologies that drive productivity and deliver major cost savings as well as higher ROI (return on investment) than our competitors. In addition our IT and security management solutions are often selected as part of companies’ long-term strategies, which suffer less in the current economic climate*,” noted Criston Chairman and CEO, Marc Vaillant.
Criston, which was established in Sophia Antipolis in 1997, recorded sales of €4.3 million in 2008. The company, which also has a site in Paris and one in Tokyo, has a network of over 20 partners in more than 20 countries.
