EBRC strengthens its European position The digital market is evolving, worldwide, in Europe and in Luxembourg. IT providers have to adapt. EBRC, a service provider for IT and cloud solutions specialised in the management of sensitive data, is pushing forward its international growth through a stake in Digora (France).
EBRC’s ambitions go far beyond the borders of the Grand Duchy. The first letter of its acronym - European Business Reliance Centre - proves it. “We built our business model and strategy starting in Luxembourg to support the development of our customers across Europe, says Yves Reding, CEO of EBRC. In an environment that is quickly changing, we reaffirm our position ever more confidently. Today our European ambitions are gaining a new dimension, with our stake in Digora, a business that is complementary to our own and that works mainly on French territory in the field of data management.” Digora is indeed an expert in the effective use of data and has seven branches (Paris, Strasbourg, Lille, Lyon, Rennes, Bordeaux and Toulouse) as well as two subsidiaries in Morocco and Luxembourg. The company has about one hundred employees whose skills are recognised in France as belonging to one of the best teams in terms of servicing databases for best performance (Oracle, Microsoft, NoSQL,...).
A transformation based on data For the CEO of EBRC, this development is a logical consequence of the evolution of the market. “Nobody can deny the growing digitalisation of the economy, with
business developments that are accelerating on all levels. In this context, companies have to rely on strong IT partners that integrate the necessary skills and allow them to access greater agility.” In recent years, EBRC moved up the value chain to set itself up as a single point of contact able to meet the digital needs of each customer. “We support them, often starting with a blank page, in the design of their own model and their own digital platforms. We help them transform and adapt their business model to increase efficiency”, explains Yves Reding.

Accompanying complex projects For example, EBRC currently works on the implementation of a digital bank of a new kind, a bank built from scratch and destined to quickly serve up to 20 million potential users. ‘‘We are able to implement and operate the IT side of such complex projects and to create innovative platforms, a kind of bank-as-a-service, explains Yves Reding. In the future, data will increasingly be at the heart of business, including outside the financial sector. The opportunities afforded by the IoT demonstrate it clearly. More and more data will be generated and will require adequate protection. In this regard, our strategy of positioning ourselves around a focus on sensitive data remains extremely relevant.”
