"At Agerion IT we take a down-to-earth approach"

Keep IT simple, they say at Agerion in Oud-Beijerland. They believe that IT can be simple, no matter how complex the challenge. "Our team consists of down-to-earth people who pursue our shared goal: to truly add value for our customers," says Stefan Frerichs.

"We might be a little different. An IT company that is driven and thinks beyond just extremely expensive IT solutions." It is Agerion IT par excellence, says Coen van den Berg, co-owner of the Hoeksche Waard-based company. This has resulted in a unique range of clients for this locally rooted IT company. These IT consultants have been working for major international clients like Baker Tilly International and DHL for almost 20 years, but in recent years, due to local demand, they have also started working for growth-oriented companies in the region. Coen: "We operate globally with our common sense and a Rotterdam mentality. That attracts a great group of clients who also work that way. Get down to business and get going."

"That 'going' encompasses a wide range of IT services. Agerion IT supplies hardware (laptops, servers, routers, and more), installs it, manages software implementations, secures complete IT environments, and even provides internet and VoIP telephony if desired.

The majority of our employees have both business and IT training. Coen: "That is why we have developed a working method that sometimes surprises our clients. By delving deeper—what a company stands for, where they want to go, what they need now and in the future—we generate ideas that go beyond the technical side of things."

Stefan adds: "IT is a fundamental part of any organization. Especially with current developments in cybercrime and artificial intelligence, it is crucial to think broadly and keep things simple. How do we make IT serve a company?"
