Previder strengthens position as Managed Service Provider in the Netherlands with acquisition Global-e ICT solutions & Global-e Datacenter

Managed service provider Previder, with locations in Hengelo and Vianen, is acquiring Global-e ICT solutions & Global-e Datacenter. With this acquisition of the company in Rijen, North Brabant, Previder increases its presence in the Netherlands. This will allow us to better serve customers with our extensive IT portfolio not only in the centre and east, but also in the south of our country. Previder will acquire the 35 employees of Global-e ICT solutions & Global-e Datacenter and the organisation's customer base.

The decision to expand in the southern Netherlands strengthens Previder's position as a Managed Service Provider in the Netherlands. "Global-e ICT solutions & Global-e Datacenter was the right choice for several reasons. First of all, their services are in line with Previder's. As a Cisco and Microsoft partner, they have been successfully serving the local market for years with their cloud, infrastructure and security solutions, hosted from two of their own high-end data centres. There is also a cultural match. The no-nonsense culture, personal approach and passion to serve the customer optimally are shared values," says Arno Witvliet, CEO at Odin Groep, Previder's parent organisation.

Global-e ICT solutions & Global-e Datacenter will continue under the Previder name, but nothing will change for its employees and customers. "Customers will keep the same contacts and support, however, they will be able to use a broader and proven portfolio of IT services supported from Previder. This allows Previder to offer its customers the benefits of scale and innovations from three locations in the Netherlands. The employees of Global-e ICT solutions & Global-e Datacenter will continue to provide services and will be given room for their ambitions and personal development within Previder," said Witvliet.

With this acquisition, it also announces the departure of Ad Hapers, director Global-e ICT solutions & Global-e Datacenter. "After more than 35 years, it is time for me to say goodbye to the wonderful but also hectic IT world. In doing so, it is important to make sure that Global-e, its employees as well as its customers, are well placed. Fortunately, we have found the perfect match in Odin Groep and Previder so I can announce my departure with peace of mind."
