What PQR does

PQR B.V. is a Dutch independent IT services provider founded in 1990 and headquartered in Utrecht (registered in De Meern), operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bechtle Group. The firm delivers end-to-end IT services covering advisory, transition/migration, adoption, managed services, datacenter, networking, and security for mid-to-large Dutch customers in healthcare, local government, manufacturing, housing associations, education, retail, and SMB/MKB segments. Core proprietary technology is SpaceHub, a platform that determines optimal placement of workloads across cloud and on-premises environments, augmented by SpaceHub Green for sustainability-driven IT operations and by a tiered subscription product, Workspace Security as a Service.

PQR monetizes through a mix of recurring managed services contracts (typically monthly or annual subscriptions covering monitoring, patching, and 24/7 management), project-based professional services for advisory/transition/adoption engagements, subscription-based security services (Security as a Service starting at €14.30 per user per month, with SOC monitoring, endpoint protection, and penetration testing), software and license reselling, and time-and-materials Resource Solutions staffing. Distribution is direct enterprise sales supported by an inside-sales motion for SMB, and is amplified by elite-tier vendor partnerships with HPE, VMware, Nutanix, NetApp, Dell Technologies, Aruba, and Rapid7. The company holds ISO 27001 (since 2017, renewed under ISO 27001:2022) and NEN 7510 certifications, providing regulatory qualification for healthcare and public-sector sales, and is one of six approved suppliers to VNG (Association of Netherlands Municipalities) for Monitoring & Response.
