### Do you actually work in Valbonne?

Yes. about 15 minutes from Tourrettes-sur-Loup, village and business park. Close to the workshop: same-day repair and go-live when a slot is open. Remote support first, on-site when diagnosis requires it.

### Can we start with external CIO only?

Yes. Many sites in Valbonne start with external CIO, then extend network, managed IT or backup. The architecture is built to grow.

### Do we have to replace everything at once in Valbonne?

No. We map what you have (including business-park SMEs, village retail, offices next to Sophia-Antipolis) and modernise in stages, without stopping the business.
