How we work with French organisations

Our team is based in Belgium, a short train ride from Paris and Lille, and French is one of our working languages. A typical HaloITSM project in France runs like this:

  • On site when it counts. Design workshops, key-user training and go-live are held at your premises; configuration and follow-up run remotely.
  • In French, end to end. Workshops, deliverables, the HaloITSM portal and the training material are in French.
  • One contract, one quote. You contract with SMC Consulting, a Belgian company, for licences, onboarding and consulting; invoices are issued from Belgium with VAT reverse charge for business customers.

Our advice is independent. If you choose HaloITSM, we can also supply the licences as its certified partner, and we tell you so up front. For everything else about the product, see HaloITSM with SMC Consulting.

HaloITSM and French and EU compliance

Hosting in the EU

The HaloITSM SaaS edition runs in the AWS Frankfurt region for EU customers. A private cloud or an installation on your own servers is also possible.

GDPR

Personal data in tickets and assets is stored in the EU (AWS Frankfurt) when you choose that region, access is role-based, and retention rules can be set per ticket type. We help you document the processing.

NIS2 and ANSSI

ANSSI is the authority designated to supervise NIS2 in France. HaloITSM keeps the incident, change and asset records that essential and important entities will need to show.

NIS2 in your ITSM

Audit trails

Every change, approval and status update is logged, so internal audit and certification bodies can follow what happened and who decided.

Tools French teams usually leave

Most of our French conversations start with a tool that no longer fits. Each source has its own data model; the method stays the same. See migration to HaloITSM.

EasyVista Service Manager

Widely used in France. We map its catalogue, workflows and CMDB to HaloITSM and rebuild the processes rather than copy them.

Migrate to HaloITSM

GLPI

Often the first ITSM tool of a French IT team. When ITIL processes, SLAs and a real portal become necessary, we move tickets, assets and knowledge to HaloITSM.

Other tools, or staying put

TOPdesk, Ivanti, Jira Service Management and others follow the same method. And when your current tool can be fixed rather than replaced, we tell you so and help you optimise it instead.

HaloITSM in France: frequently asked questions

Do you deliver HaloITSM projects on site in France?

Yes. Workshops, training and go-live are held on site; configuration and follow-up run remotely. Our team travels from Belgium and works in French.

Is HaloITSM data hosted in the EU?

Yes, with the SaaS edition in the AWS Frankfurt region for EU customers. You can also choose a private cloud or install HaloITSM on your own servers.

Can you migrate us from EasyVista or GLPI to HaloITSM?

Yes. We map your tickets, assets, knowledge and catalogue, rebuild the workflows in HaloITSM and plan the cutover. See migration to HaloITSM.

Can you supply HaloITSM licences to a French company?

Yes. Our advice is independent. If you choose HaloITSM, we can also supply the licences as its certified partner, and we tell you so up front. The contract and the invoices come from SMC Consulting in Belgium, with VAT reverse charge for business customers.

How does NIS2 affect our service desk in France?

ANSSI is the authority designated to supervise NIS2 in France. Incident handling, change control and an up-to-date asset inventory are part of what entities in scope will need to show; HaloITSM records all three. See NIS2 in your ITSM.
