Bechtle’s Post

Another exciting milestone for Bechtle: We have successfully completed the acquisition of Interforce Networks BV, a leading managed services provider in the Netherlands. This transaction further strengthens our managed services capabilities and adds outstanding expertise in cloud, modern workplace and communication services to the Bechtle Group. Together with PQR, we are well positioned to accelerate growth in the Dutch SMB market and beyond. Congratulations to Marijke Krist, Marco Lesmeister and Alexander Knoche on this great achievement. A big thank you to everyone involved on both sides for their dedication and collaboration throughout the transaction. Welcome to Bechtle, Robert Kuijf, Mark Brand and the entire Interforce team - we're excited to have you on board!

We're welcoming FiveM Consulting to the Ardoq partner ecosystem. FiveM helps insurers tackle process and technical debt, and together we're turning enterprise complexity into clear, actionable roadmaps for transformation and cloud migration. Better together. See what's possible. Welcome aboard, Miguel Edwards, NACD.DC and the FiveM team

FiveM is now part of the Ardoq partner ecosystem! Insurance leaders don't need more diagrams — they need a real plan for getting from legacy systems to what's next. That's exactly the gap this partnership helps us close, giving carriers and MGAs a practical path forward on modernization and cloud strategy. Grateful for the partnership and excited for what's ahead.

Partnerships work best when they're built on more than contracts. They're built on trust, shared expertise and a genuine commitment to helping customers achieve better outcomes. That's exactly what we're focused on at IPI. Whether it's CX transformation, AI, cloud, secure payments or integration, the right ecosystem creates far more value than any organisation can deliver alone. If you're a reseller, technology partner or consultancy looking to expand your portfolio with practical solutions and a collaborative team, it's well worth taking a look at what we're building. Congratulations to everyone involved in launching the programme. Excited to see where it takes us. 👇 Find out more in the original post below. #Partnerships #CustomerExperience #AI #Cloud #SecurePayments #ChannelPartners #CX #IPIntegration

Acquisitions move fast. IT integration rarely does. For VDL Groep, that changed with Veeam. Made up of 100+ companies across 20 countries, for VDL Groep each acquisition brings a familiar IT question: how quickly can data be protected and moved into the wider environment without slowing the business down? With Veeam, VDL can onboard new locations into its hybrid cloud environment in just 2 to 4 hours, regardless of hardware or hypervisor. That kind of data portability gives IT teams something incredibly practical: room to support business growth without turning every integration into a long technical project.

Once you've set up an Amazon VPC, what's next? Here’s a quick overview on how I launched resources in my VPC and sped up VPC creation ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 💻 Launched an EC2 instance in a public subnet, secured with a key pair. 🤐 Launched an EC2 instance in a private subnet, with a security group restricting access to public subnet traffic only. ⚡️ Used the VPC resource map to automate VPC creation. 📸 For a detailed guide and to apply these steps in your AWS setup, check out my full documentation below. Thanks NextWork for the project guide. Check out my work at NextWork: 📢 Working on AWS or cloud projects?

Growth shouldn't come with more complexity. Randstad Belgium was managing 100+ branches on fragmented systems with little visibility. They wanted one platform, flexible enough to grow with them. It started with access control. Then video. Then intrusion, all connected on a single cloud platform, no rip-and-replace required. Thomas Risager, Director of Sales, Nordics & Benelux at Acre, and Erik Deleersnyder, Regional Technology Solutions Development Director at G4S Europe & Middle East, talk through how it came together. The full case study can be found in the comments.

🚨 Missed us at Baltic Connect? No worries, the recording is officially live! Running Apache Kafka® at scale often comes with a familiar set of headaches: complex storage management, scaling bottlenecks, and cloud infrastructure costs that scale faster than your data. In this session, Guilherme Caminha (Senior Software Engineer at Aiven) breaks down how Diskless Kafka (Inkless) is changing the game for cloud-native streaming. 🎥 Watch the recording & grab the slides here on the link below. What you’ll learn: 🔹 The hidden operational hurdles that slow teams down when running traditional Kafka in AWS. 🔹 What "diskless topics" actually are, how they bypass local disk constraints, and why they matter. 🔹 How separating compute from storage simplifies operations, speeds up partition rebalancing, and slashes infrastructure TCO. Stop managing disks. Start streaming smarter. 🚀 #ApacheKafka #AWS #CloudInfrastructure #EventStreaming #Aiven #PlatformEngineering #SoftwareEngineering Lassi Landström Kyle Kearns Dominika P.

Midvale Country Club used to run its entire operation on servers under a desk. No backups. No real visibility across departments. Today, they operate differently. Jonas has become the glue holding the whole operation together, connecting sales, membership, and reporting into one system instead of a dozen disconnected ones. Moving to Jonas Cloud gave Midvale Country Club the reliability those old servers never could. Real-time sales data now shows staff exactly which menu items are working and which need a second look. And a unified view of membership means every interaction feels personal, the kind of service that makes members feel like the club is a second home. That's the real measure of technology in a private club. Thank you Simon Dewar, Eric Reinhardt, Mike Kiel, Brian Broadwater, and Tricia Daluisio for sharing your insights and experience 🙌
