XIFEO ICT

What XIFEO ICT does

Xifeo ICT B.V. is a Dutch ICT consultancy and staff augmentation firm founded in January 2012 by Peter Vader and headquartered in Almere, Netherlands (relocated from Zaandam in August 2022). The company provides senior, certified IT specialists on a detachment (secondment) basis to enterprise and government organizations in the Netherlands, with deep specialization in Zabbix enterprise monitoring, complemented by automation (Puppet, Ansible, Intune, ConfigMgr, Python, Bash, PowerShell), cloud services (Azure, AWS, Kubernetes), and ICT architecture (Archimate, SAFe, Togaf).

The company's product portfolio is anchored by a four-tier Zabbix certification training program (ZCU, ZCS, ZCP, ZCE) delivered at its Almere training facility and online, priced publicly between €550 and €3,250 per participant. Xifeo also offers Zabbix Consultancy, Zabbix Health Check, and resells Proxmox VE subscriptions as an Authorized Reseller (since 2025). It holds the position of first Zabbix Certified Partner in the Netherlands (2014), elevated to Premium Delivery Partner status in March 2025, and is NEN 4400-1 certified for labor provision. The company has been part of the Tech Tribes collective (700+ digital specialists across five tribes) since July 12, 2023, while retaining its brand identity.

Xifeo's go-to-market is primarily direct enterprise sales within the Netherlands, supplemented by event-driven demand generation through Zabbix Meetups, the annual Zabbix Conference Benelux (co-organized with Zabbix and Retigra), and technical content marketing via its Zabbix blog. Named customers include Radboud University Nijmegen and Gemeente Amsterdam. The firm operates with a small team (approximately 20-30 personnel plus freelance network), making it a niche specialist in the Dutch open-source monitoring and infrastructure consultancy segment rather than a scaled platform.
