The portfolio has been expanded and additional sector-specific knowledge was brought in house. CEO Jan Veltman shares his strategy and ambitions. About local strength, focus on verticals and your own corona dashboard.
Veltman has only recently been at the helm of ilionx. At the beginning of October, he took over the leadership of co-founder Wiebe de Boer. “What appeals to me about ilionx is the clear strategy that has been chosen. Focusing on a number of domains and really wanting to distinguish yourself in them. With the aim of being the logical choice for organizations looking for an IT knowledge partner. ”
Healthcare is one of those domains. “With the acquisition of ICTZ last year, we are a leading player in this market with seven out of ten hospitals as customers,” says Veltman. “We also focus on both local and national governments and sectors such as retail and finance. My aim is to further shape the growth of verticals. “
Fine mesh
“Our local presence is our strength,” says Veltman. “Our more than nine hundred employees are spread across the country at eight different locations. So we always have people close to the customer. These fine-grained services work. At the same time, we can further develop long-term customer relationships with a broadly deployable portfolio and national coverage. ”
Customers are helped by ilionx to stay ahead, by thinking ahead and always taking a few extra steps. “It is important to always ask the follow-up question right away,” says Veltman. “Business consulting is all about thinking further about the role of IT, its implementation and innovation opportunities that present themselves. How do you land an application in the existing infrastructure and with users? But also: how do you respond to trends such as connected customers? ”
Corona dashboard
Innovation is a spearhead for ilionx, especially in the current corona crisis. In fact, the company helped build the first Dutch dashboard that predicts with great certainty where local upsets of corona infections may occur. “Something like this is a combination of a demand from the market and actively thinking along,” says Veltman. “Regional risks are visualized in this forecast model that has been developed together with Eindhoven University of Technology, Mezuro and Utrecht University
.”
CSR policy
Being socially relevant and making a difference, that is what ilionx actively embraces. “We find it important to work this out with employees and customers,” explains Veltman. “Our CSR policy is based on the indicators from the well-known CSR Performance Ladder. We will most likely be the first Dutch company to be certified by TÜV for the new 3.0 standard. ”
