Our client, a consulting firm that offers SaaS, has been deeply rooted in the local government ICT market for decades. It puts this experience at the service of its clients in the public domain, and the increasing number of challenges they face.

With 350 dedicated employees in market-oriented domains, our client works on the solutions of today and tomorrow. As a co-creator of public services, it supports its clients in using innovative solutions to carry out social tasks as effectively and cost-efficiently as possible. Just over half of all municipalities in the Netherlands (ca.175), use our clients‘ software. With this Cloud application, municipalities record the most important moments in their residents‘ lives. Registering a child, registering a marriage or applying for a driver‘s license, for example.

Their software is therefore the beating heart of the civil affairs environment of the Dutch municipalities. Among other things, our client ensures that they continue to innovate and optimize collaborations with other (government) institutions. But also that current legislation and regulations are continuously up-to-date. This requires sustainable, creative, and smart solutions that work.

Dedicated, entrepreneurial and progressive. This is how our client adds value and changes public services for good.
