However, what was interesting about the acquisition of Hermes Datacomms is that it comes at a time when the oil and gas market is particularly challenging for all players. Beylier, however, sees such turbulence as an opportunity for SpeedCast. "Customers are looking for cost savings and we feel we are in a good position to provide them with cost-effective services. This creates a compelling event for customers to explore changing provider, and it has already been happening: we have some concrete examples that the realization of our vision is in motion," he says. "The current unfortunate conditions in the oil and gas sector have created an opportunity for SpeedCast to identify and recruit talents, attracted by our unique growth momentum. This is allowing us to build up an outstanding team that I believe will be among the best in the industry."
