Topficie was looking to increase their size of business to retain their current position with their major customer group, the financial sector. For Devoteam Group SA, a listed international operating French IT services provider, the Netherlands is considered as their `second` market. To strengthen the diminishing Dutch activities they were looking to do an acquisition to complement their portfolio of activities and also recruit strong management to up lift the operation in the Netherlands again. Part of the post merger plan will be the integration of both businesses, with the management of Topficie responsible for the combined operations.
