HELSINKI, Finland — April 6, 2021- Aiven, a leading technology company combining the best open-source event streaming and data management technologies with cloud infrastructure, and ADEO, the leading French DIY and home improvement player in the European market and third largest worldwide, announced today that they are expanding their partnership.

ADEO will benefit from the unparalleled Aiven technology that turns open-source data technologies such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, OpenSearch, InfluxDB and Redis into easily consumable, highly available and scalable data solutions.

“We were looking for a technology partner to accompany both our European and global growth as we transform and digitize our processes while innovating the way we interact with our customers. We need a reliable cloud provider that can deliver, scale and support a large variety of services on-demand based,“ said Julien Charlot, Database and Middleware Product Manager at ADEO.

As DBaaS is evolving extremely fast, Aiven and ADEO will keep on collaborating and planning the necessary evolution of managed data services.

“For the past two years, ADEO has been working closely with Aiven and influencing their roadmap with our needs and feedback, delivering substantial improvements for our users and for us as administrators,” said Matthieu Cornillon, Cloud Data Technical Lead at ADEO.

“Our partnership with Aiven evolved from one where they supported a few tactical projects to one where they now represent a key, strategic component of our infrastructure. Thanks to Aiven's excellent services and dedicated support, it has proven to be a very solid pillar of our data cloudification strategy,” said Giovanni Clement, CTO at ADEO.

Aiven will continue to collaborate with ADEO to deliver a wide range of services that ADEO will offer across their organization and brands to support a significant number of business and IT use cases, always accompanied with around-the-clock Aiven support.

“We are thrilled to see ADEO reasserting the confidence they have put in our company for the last two years. As we make reactivity and agility the foundation of our customer engagement, it is most appreciated to witness such a positive outcome,” said Oskari Saarenmaa, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer at Aiven. “We are committed to accompany ADEO alongside their digitization journey and will keep valuing their inputs as our relationship grows.”
