Various modules

The Nijhof-Wassink Group's IT platform consists of various modules. Every user in all business units is provided with a standard office workstation (Office programmes, email). In addition, they all use their own core applications. For example, Nijhof-Wassink's logistics activities are supported by its own Transport Management System, while Nijwa's branches make extensive use of SaaS solutions developed by Volvo.

To offer all applications, the Nijhof-Wassink group uses a Citrix environment that runs on its own IT platform in Previder's data centres. This forms the basis for all applications. ‘We do everything ourselves, but we can't do everything on our own,’ explains Otten. ‘We employ our own IT administrators, have our own helpdesk and do our own application management. But when it comes to supporting the infrastructure, it's very nice to have a good partner who knows what they're doing.’

Our data centres

‘We rely on Previder's expertise to support our business-critical processes with IT technology.’

‘By outsourcing our infrastructure to Previder, I believe our IT department can play the ideal role,’ says Otten. "Namely, that of a service-oriented service provider that treats internal users the same way you would treat external customers. What's more, the IT environment has become much more flexible. We can now easily scale up to accommodate a hundred people. No problem at all. Our company is also ready for the cloud. For example, if we want to connect our Exchange 2016 servers to Exchange Online, we can do so."
