Bechtle AG has acquired Dutch IT service provider ITAM Solutions BV, headquartered in Eindhoven. Founded in 2007, the company specialises in IT asset management solutions and provides comprehensive consulting in FinOps and cost management. ITAM Solutions employs 38 people and generated revenues of €4.4 million in the past financial year. The business will be fully integrated into Bechtle subsidiary PQR. Simone van Sambeek, founder and CEO of ITAM Solutions, will remain with the organisation. The acquisition marks another step in Bechtle’s international growth strategy and further strengthens its presence in the Netherlands with highly skilled professionals and specialised expertise.
Following the acquisition of IT service provider E-Storage in June, Bechtle is now bringing another well-established Dutch IT company into the fold. ITAM Solutions is a recognised market player in strategic IT asset management and cloud cost management (FinOps). By joining forces with Bechtle subsidiary PQR, the company aims to accelerate its development within a larger organisation. “As an independent advisor and specialist, we support our customers in managing strategically critical IT resources. With access to the Bechtle Group’s full-service portfolio, we’ll now be able to offer end-to-end support across the entire IT lifecycle,” says Simone van Sambeek, CEO of ITAM Solutions.
Growth potential through synergies
“The efficient use of software and cloud services is one of the key challenges of the digital transformation. Integrating ITAM’s expertise will quickly unlock synergies in our customer engagements and help drive our continued growth,” says Marco Lesmeister, Managing Director of PQR. “Decision-makers in both the private and public sectors are increasingly focused not only on optimising IT costs but also on ensuring transparency and compliance. We’re delighted to welcome the highly experienced team of specialists from ITAM Solutions who will significantly strengthen our offering in this strategic area,” adds Marijke Krist, Vice President Netherlands, Bechtle Group.
Stronger market presence in the Netherlands
Bechtle is active in the Netherlands through its subsidiaries ARP, Bechtle direct, Cadmes and PQR. Together with ITAM, the Bechtle Group has a network spanning the Netherlands’ major economic hubs from Maastricht to Eindhoven, ’s-Hertogenbosch to Utrecht and Hoofddorp near Amsterdam.
