GFI Informatique becomes Axon International’s eighth member organisation

Axon International, the worldwide network of leading independent SAP consultancies created and run by Axon, today welcomes GFI Informatique as its eighth member. The network now provides its members’ clients with access to over 5000 SAP consultants across 38 countries.

Steve Cardell, Axon's CEO, said:
"Axon and the other members of Axon International are already cooperating on a range of opportunities which would be difficult for them to pursue in isolation. The addition of GFI Informatique, one of the largest SAP services partners in France, increases the breadth and depth of the SAP skills accessible through the network. I am delighted that Axon International now provides coverage across all the major European economies.” 

Vincent Rouaix, COO France of GFI Informatique, said:
"GFI Informatique sees Axon International as an innovative way for us to expand our offering to our clients who use SAP, many of whom have operations beyond our current geographical reach. We look forward to cooperating closely with Axon and the other members of the network to our mutual benefit and that of our clients.”
