This initiative satisfies the wish of the directors to strengthen their participation in the capital by purchasing shares and by partial re-absorption of securities held by the Group on behalf of management.

A brief overview of the VISION IT GROUP

A Belgian company founded in 2001, VISION IT GROUP is a European expertise and consulting group with specialised in IT infrastructures, software qualification, business applications, mobile solutions, high-level consulting and training. VISION IT GROUP is present in 7 European countries (Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and Great Britain) and employs more than 1,000 experts. Its rapid development rests principally on the quality of its experts (90% of whom are engineers) and on its operating model of the “Grid Company.” This particularly effective model consists of making common use of the expertise of the Group’s units. Each of the subsidiaries is specialised in one or two technologies and is committed to work on behalf of all the business units of the Group, wherever their geographic location, without duplicating R & D. VISION IT GROUP offers its clients critical competences at the best price, thereby winning over some of the largest European companies as references.
