Six domains
What we do
Every service has its own page: the exact deliverables, how the assignment runs, and what we do not take on.
Data Science & AI
Models that reach production, not notebooks
Forecasting, scoring, classification, NLP and applied LLM work on your own business data. We deliver the model, the retraining pipeline, the drift monitoring, and documentation your IT department can take over without us.
6 to 12 weeks
Software Engineering & Web
Teams that pick up your code instead of rewriting it
Business applications, portals, APIs, legacy overhaul. Java, .NET, Python, Node, React, Angular. We work on your existing codebase with your conventions, your CI and your review rules.
4 to 20 weeks
Automation & RPA
Automate the process, not the mess
UiPath, Power Automate and Python robots. We quantify the gain in hours before building, and we turn down automations whose maintenance cost exceeds the gain.
3 to 8 weeks per process
Data Engineering
Talend, dbt, Spark — and taking over your existing jobs
Integration, ETL and ELT, warehouses and lakehouses. We take over legacy Talend estates, document them, and migrate them when it is justified — not because it is fashionable.
6 to 16 weeks
DevOps & Cloud
AWS, GCP, Azure — infrastructure as code, not as folklore
Cloud migration, Terraform, Kubernetes, CI/CD, FinOps and observability. We leave behind an infrastructure described in code that your teams can rebuild identically.
4 to 16 weeks
WinDev & WebDev
The PC SOFT expertise almost nobody offers any more
Thousands of French business applications run on WinDev and can no longer find developers. We maintain them, evolve them, and migrate them when you decide — at your pace, not ours.
2 to 12 weeks
Who we work for
We are not generalists. Here, honestly, is where we are useful and where we are not.
We are a fit if
- You are a French mid-market company or software vendor of 50 to 2,000 people
- You have an internal IT department that steers, and needs capacity rather than strategy consulting
- You want a firm price on a frozen scope, or a properly governed embedded team
- Your people work in French and your documents are in French
- You have real GDPR requirements and security questionnaires to fill in
We are not a fit if
- You are shopping for the cheapest day rate
- You want to delegate full project steering with no internal technical counterpart
- Your need is under fifteen days of effort
- You are looking for standalone 24/7 first-line managed services
- You want a partner who says yes to everything, including what will not work
Our method
The Fixed-Spec Method
Most project overruns do not come from the code but from a scope that was never written precisely enough to be held. We sell the framing separately, and it sets a firm price.
01
Qualification call
20 minutes, free
You describe the need. We answer one question: is this in our scope, yes or no. If the answer is no we say so during the call and, where we can, we point you elsewhere.
02
Fixed-Spec framing
1 to 3 weeks, invoiced
Workshops with your business owners and technical team. We write the functional specification, the target architecture, the acceptance cases and — most importantly — the explicit list of what is excluded from scope.
03
Decision
Your pace
You hold a document and a firm price. You can sign with us, put the document out to tender, or do nothing. The document is yours in all three cases, with no reuse clause in our favour.
Case studies
Real assignments, with numbers
Some clients prefer not to be named. Figures, scopes and durations are exact; names are replaced by sector and size.
Insurance
French insurance group
A claims management application written in WinDev over fifteen years, undocumented, maintained by a single person three months from retirement. Goal: guarantee continuity without a rewrite.

Retail
Specialist retailer
A 340-job Talend estate, a rising licence bill and dashboards contested at board level. The audit showed that 40% of the flows had no consumer at all.

Software
B2B SaaS vendor
A French vendor with an eighteen-month backlog and a market that was not waiting. The challenge was not hiring fast but onboarding without collapsing the existing team's velocity.

Data & security
What your procurement and DPO will ask for
We provide these documents before the first technical meeting, not after signature. This is exactly where most of our nearshore competitors cannot answer.
- GDPR Article 28-compliant DPA, signed before any access
- Standard contractual clauses (decision 2021/914) for transfers outside the EU
- Pre-filled security questionnaire: MFA, access management, encryption, logging
- Hosting and processing in EU region, no data at rest outside the EU
- Named access through a bastion, revoked at end of assignment, logged
- CNDP declaration in Morocco and an up-to-date processing register
- French-law contract, French jurisdiction, professional indemnity insurance
The team
Names, faces, verifiable backgrounds
An anonymous nearshore provider is a red flag. Here is who you will have on the phone.
Said Belakbir
Founder · Technical direction
Software and data engineer. Spent recent years delivering offshore for European clients, including a French insurance group and several SaaS vendors. Founded AzerOps after observing that the worst-served part of the market was not development but framing and compliance.
Yasmine Alaoui
Head of delivery
Twelve years of application project management, seven of them in a Casablanca ESN on French accounts. Runs fixed-price engagements and arbitrates change requests. She is the one who says no when a scope is not holdable.
Karim Benjelloun
Tech lead · Cloud & DevOps
AWS Solutions Architect and Terraform certified. Led three complete cloud migrations for European mid-market companies. Consistently argues for the simplest solution that holds, which leads him to advise against Kubernetes more often than for it.
Data, application and cloud engineering for French mid-market IT departments. Nearshore teams in Casablanca, French-law contracts.
Twenty minutes is enough to know whether we are useful
No sales deck. You describe the need, we say whether it is in scope, at what price and on what timeline. If it is not for us, we say so during the call.
