CNS Communications
An independent IT infrastructure consulting and expertise provider, CNS Communications confirmed the strength and longevity of its growth model in 2026 by simultaneously entering three benchmark rankings compiled by Statista in partnership with Les Echos and the Financial Times: the ‘Champions of Growth 2026’, the ‘Long-Term Growth Champions 2026’ and the ‘FT1000 – Europe's Fastest Growing Companies’. This triple distinction is testament to the company's structural performance, driven by more than twenty years of high standards, expertise and customer trust.
19% average annual growth over 10 years
CNS features in the prestigious ranking of the 100 Champions of Long-Term Growth published by Les Echos and Statista, which recognises companies that have recorded the strongest organic growth between 2014 and 2024.
With average annual growth of 19%, the firm ranks 93rd and confirms a trajectory that, since its creation, has been driven by the excellence of its technological expertise, the independence of its consulting model and a results-oriented performance culture. This combination enables it to provide long-term support to major clients, both in France and internationally, on some of the most demanding infrastructure projects.
At the same time, CNS has maintained its position for the fourth consecutive year in the overall Champions of Growth 2026 ranking, which lists the 500 most dynamic French companies between 2021 and 2024. The firm has risen to 237th place, driven by growth of 20.14% over this period, confirming the strength and consistency of its development.
CNS among the fastest-growing European companies
The firm is also honoured to join the FT1000, a European ranking published by the Financial Times and Statista. CNS is one of 252 French companies distinguished among 31 countries, confirming that its growth momentum is among the strongest in Europe.
This recognition attests to the relevance of its strategic positioning and its ability to sustain steady growth. CNS innovates by offering its clients the integration of new technologies, such as infrastructure automation, advanced infrastructure data analysis and exploitation (automatic detection, observability) and the integration and security of generative AI applications in order to respond to new market requirements. The group is involved in major IT transformation projects: migration to the cloud, data security, strengthening cybersecurity and modernising critical networks and systems in Europe, Asia and North America.
‘A collective source of pride and proof of our consistency’
"It is a source of great satisfaction and pride to see CNS recognised over the long term and internationally. These results are the fruit of the constant work of our teams and the renewed trust of our customers, some of whom have been with us for nearly twenty years. In a highly competitive market, our strength lies in combining technological expertise gained in the field with high-level consulting, capable of transforming the complexity of infrastructures into a competitive advantage. CNS is a real game changer in the IT consulting market. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to our employees for their commitment and to our clients for their loyalty. They make CNS what it is today and what it will be tomorrow.
Geoffrey Quincey, Chief Executive Officer.
True to its values, the group bases its growth on a dual ambition: to strengthen the trust of its long-standing clients (60% of whom are CAC 40 companies) by continuously enriching its consulting and services offering, while deploying its distinctive model to new organisations for value-generating infrastructures.
