BRINEL

BRINEL, based in Cluj-Napoca and Bucharest, Romania, has 115 specialists and 20 years of experience. The company is part of French group SNEF since 2019. It positions itself around three pillars: cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud), cybersecurity, and application development with AI/ML capabilities. The website emphasizes hybrid multi-cloud setups, ERP implementations (primarily Microsoft Dynamics), and managed services for industrial clients.

Services and capabilities

BRINEL's service menu breaks into five main areas. Cloud Services covers IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS across Microsoft Azure and AWS, with integrated managed services. Infrastructure includes data center solutions, device-as-a-service, backup and disaster recovery, and hybrid workplace setups. Cybersecurity addresses perimeter security, network protection, endpoint security, data protection, application security, and security assessments aligned with NIS2 and DORA compliance frameworks. Application Development spans open-source platforms, custom application work, and ML/AI services. Digital Transformation focuses on Microsoft Dynamics 365 (Finance, Business Central, Sales, Supply Chain Management) and Power Platform, with localization services for Romanian compliance (SAF-T, E-Factura, Payroll).

The company also develops proprietary tools branded BRINEL Digital Tools, which it positions as optimizing internal team collaboration, client interaction, and partner engagement. It holds 401 certifications and maintains advanced partnerships with Microsoft, AWS, and other hyperscalers.

Notable work

BRINEL's project portfolio spans healthcare, manufacturing, banking, gaming, and public sector. For Rottaprint, it deployed Romania's first Amazon Monitron-based predictive maintenance solution, collecting 480 data points daily and saving "15,000 USD for every hour of unplanned equipment downtime." For LIFE IS HARD (a Romanian software company listed on Bucharest Stock Exchange), it implemented Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, reducing monthly financial close time by 10 days and boosting team productivity by 9% within weeks of go-live.

For a banking client (described as "Romania's largest bank"), BRINEL built an integrated cybersecurity solution using Akamai Prolexic (protecting 5,000 users), FireEye devices, and Microsoft 365 E5 endpoint security for 2,000 users. For MINA Museum in Bucharest, it created iQapture, a generative AI photo booth using Amazon SageMaker, S3, Lambda, and CloudFront, allowing visitors to see themselves reimagined in artistic styles (Van Gogh, Klimt, etc.). A Swiss building facade company saw invoice processing improve by 30% and financial visibility by 40% after a Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations implementation. A global healthcare enterprise achieved "30-40% reduction in IT support costs, 50% faster remote support response times, and 99%+ uptime" using Cisco Cloud Email Security and ARAM on cloud infrastructure supporting 600+ hospitals.

How they work

BRINEL operates as a full-stack partner across the transformation journey: discovery and consultancy, design, implementation, and ongoing operations. The company emphasizes pre-implementation site visits (evident in the MINA case study) to understand constraints and customize solutions. Pricing is not disclosed on the public website. Team structure appears project-based; the 115 specialists are distributed across Cluj and Bucharest offices. For industrial clients, BRINEL offers multi-cloud and AI services, cybersecurity assessments, and managed infrastructure as modular offerings.
