iqbs is the fifth organisation to become part of Axelio, following Pixelzebra, Xperit, Newminds and BEND. With this addition, the collective of companies, which already specialises in ERP, CRM and Modern Workplace, now also possesses expertise in business intelligence. iqbs is thus a valuable new addition to Axelio’s existing Microsoft portfolio, further solidifying its position as a full-service Microsoft partner. Moreover, with locations in Nootdorp, Barneveld, Hilversum, Hengelo, Zwolle and Groningen, the Bunnik-based company contributes to a nationwide presence.
A guide in digitalisation
The acquisition of iqbs fits seamlessly within Axelio’s strategy. With this new asset, the group of Microsoft partners strengthens its role as a guide in the digitalisation of medium-sized organisations. Axelio is now even better positioned to guide clients towards their long-term goals. The group of specialists achieves this with a broad range of Microsoft solutions that help further digitalise business processes and unlock information.
A win-win situation for clients
Frank van der Woude, CEO of Axelio, is pleased to welcome iqbs as a new specialist within the group. ‘As a partner on the journey, we aim to offer our clients a complete set of solutions’, he says. ‘We are now further fulfilling this ambition by adding iqbs to our group. We can now also assist clients with expertise in Power BI and building scalable data platforms. Conversely, our group can offer iqbs clients additional Microsoft solutions and services. It’s a win-win situation.’
Focus on client-centricity and entrepreneurship
With its medium-sized scale and innovative company culture, iqbs is a perfect fit for Axelio and the phase of growth the group is experiencing. ‘Short lines of communication with clients, quick decision-making with colleagues – these are familiar to both of us’, says Van der Woude. ‘Moreover, we share the same values, along with a focus on client-centricity and entrepreneurship.’
Accelerated growth
René Berends, Managing Director at iqbs, agrees. ‘We have a positive feeling about Axelio’s strategy and the people who work there. We look forward with confidence to our future as part of this growing group of Microsoft specialists. This will enable us to serve our clients even better. Furthermore, we see many opportunities with Axelio’s existing clients. By joining, we are also tapping into a vast source of knowledge and expertise that exists within the group. All these benefits combined make us well-positioned to accelerate our growth as an organisation.’
