About Copernicus IT Solutions

A boutique engineering consultancy in Sophia Antipolis, France, founded in 2017. Small by design, senior by default.

What we believe

From the blueprint of your IT landscape to its realisation

We work closely with IT and business leadership to align IT strategy with company goals, adapt methods and organisation to those goals, and build transformation roadmaps that cover the technical, functional, HR and organisational dimensions — for the long-term vision and the next six months alike.

Five foundations

An IT strategy and leadership framework that the organisation actually shares.
A solution design that fits the business, not the vendor.
A transition architecture that keeps the lights on.
A transformation program with clear governance.
A build-and-deliver execution plan with a senior team behind it.

Leadership

Leadership team

Renaud Arnoux-Prost

Founder — Product Engineering & Advisory

Over thirty years executing complex digital transformation programs, including VP-level product-engineering leadership at Amadeus. End-to-end development oversight of high-availability, mission-critical applications, with deep expertise in e-retail architectures for travel. Renaud bridges business strategy and technical architecture, structures R&D organisations and delivers concrete, robust solutions — equally involved in strategic vision and hands-on execution, with a strong focus on quality, scalability, value creation and R&D team leadership. Previous work includes Sopra Steria, Michelin and cruise-line distribution leaders.

Christophe Griva

VP Infrastructure & Middleware — DevOps & SecOps

Since 2014 Christophe has delivered middleware and DevOps engineering to blue-chip organisations on both sides of the Atlantic, including ENGIE, EDF, SNCF, CMA CGM, Capgemini and half a dozen Tier-1 banks. Fluent in IBM WebSphere, Oracle WebLogic, open-source stacks and modern container and Kubernetes toolchains, he turns complex, regulated environments into automated, observable and security-hardened pipelines. His combination of deep systems craft and business-aligned DevOps leadership keeps clients shipping faster without compromising resilience.

Operating model

How we are organised

Two partners, a stable core of senior engineers in Sophia Antipolis, and a network of senior architects, product leaders and engineering specialists assembled per mission. We keep the firm small so that the people you meet in the first call are the people who do the work.

Large enterprises whose IT transformation initiatives have stalled.
Scale-ups preparing for growth that need to elevate their platforms.
