What ACC ICT does

ACC ICT is a Dutch managed services provider founded in 1977, specializing in IT continuity for business-critical applications. The company delivers cloud-native managed services including Managed Kubernetes (KCSP-certified since 2021), multi-cloud management for Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud, and its proprietary Mission Critical Cloud — a triple-redundant private cloud infrastructure distributed across datacenters in Delft, Amsterdam, and Haarlem, claiming 99.9995% realized uptime over the past 10 years. The portfolio also encompasses BlueBox (an integrated platform bundling Managed Kubernetes, CI/CD, OTAP, and Cloud services for software development teams), Managed Security (Anti-DDoS, WAF, threat hunting, vulnerability scanning), Managed OTAP, and Continuiteitsregelingen — continuity arrangements developed with Utrecht University that guarantee SaaS continuity for 3+ months even in the event of vendor failure.

The company operates on a recurring subscription managed services model, positioning a full multidisciplinary team of cloud, security, and network specialists at the price equivalent of one full-time senior engineer. Go-to-market is primarily direct enterprise sales with a consultative motion, supplemented by inside sales for mid-market accounts, targeting Dutch organizations in four verticals: software development, transport and logistics, financial services, and the public sector. Named customers include Nederlandse Spoorwegen, Evangelische Omroep, BCT, Frontliners, Topicus, and BKR Connect, with average customer relationships exceeding 10 years.

ACC ICT is privately held and fully Dutch-owned, with 35+ Cloud and DevOps engineers across offices in Nieuwegein and Eindhoven. The company holds ISO 27001:2022, ISO 9001:2015, NEN 7510-1:2017, and ISAE 3402 Type II certifications, operates an employee participation scheme (since 2020), and acquired Kubernetes specialist Kumina in 2024 to expand its Kubernetes bench. No external private equity or venture capital funding is indicated.
