What QS solutions does

QS solutions is a Netherlands-headquartered Microsoft partner specializing in IT security, Modern Work, and CRM/business applications for mid-market and enterprise customers. The company operates through two legal entities — QS solutions B.V. (Amersfoort, Netherlands) and QS solutions GmbH (Frechen, Germany) — plus a development center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, with approximately 60 employees in total and 20+ years operating history. Core revenue is generated by reselling and implementing the Microsoft technology stack (Microsoft 365, Azure, SharePoint, Teams, Dynamics 365, Entra ID, Intune, Defender, Purview, Power Platform) and providing accompanying professional services, supplemented by a portfolio of four proprietary software products: CSAT (automated security assessment with NIS2 and CIS Controls mapping), PortalTalk (Teams/SharePoint self-service governance), The CloudLab (Azure migration TCO calculator), and Qare365 (healthcare CRM).

The go-to-market is consultative, direct enterprise sales combined with a partner channel — including Microsoft co-marketing and, since March 2024, the Breens Network partnership that opens distribution into the Dutch education sector. Target verticals span healthcare and social care (Hartekamp Groep, Ipse de Bruggen, GGD Noord- en Oost-Gelderland), housing corporations (De Key, VDM Woningen), manufacturing/horticulture (Ridder), logistics (Port of Amsterdam), and biotech (Immatics). Pricing is quote-based with multi-year enterprise engagements; the proprietary software layer adds a recurring subscription component. The company is privately held and backed by Dutch private equity firm Capital A. QS solutions B.V. is ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certified by Kiwa/NEN, supporting its positioning with regulated customers.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Avanade: Joint Accenture/Microsoft venture; the largest pure-play Microsoft partner globally. Directly comparable as a Microsoft-focused implementation and managed services firm, though at substantially larger scale and broader geographic reach than QS solutions.
• Wortell: Leading Dutch Microsoft partner focused on Microsoft 365, Azure, security, and Modern Work. Closest comparable by profile — same Microsoft-only delivery model, similar Benelux customer base, similar service lines around security, Teams and SharePoint.
• Macaw: Dutch end-to-end Microsoft partner delivering Modern Workplace, Cloud, and Security services. Direct comparable in scope (M365, Azure, Dynamics) and Benelux territory, with a similarly sized footprint and Microsoft-exclusive go-to-market.
• Bizzomate: Dutch Microsoft partner specialised in Power Platform, Dynamics 365, and low-code business apps. Overlaps with QS solutions on Dynamics 365 Sales/Marketing and Power Platform implementations for mid-market clients.

Emerging players

• Orange Cyberdefense (formerly SecureLink): European cybersecurity specialist with significant Benelux/DACH presence. Adjacent to QS solutions' security assessment and Microsoft Defender practice, complementary on managed detection and response rather than direct head-to-head.

Broad incumbents

• Sopra Steria: European-headquartered IT services firm with Microsoft alliance and broader portfolio across consulting, application services, and infrastructure. Overlap most pronounced in Microsoft 365 and Azure delivery to large Benelux/DACH clients.
• Capgemini: Global IT consulting leader with a dedicated Microsoft partnership practice covering cloud, security, and Dynamics. Competes indirectly for the same Microsoft-centric enterprise transformation engagements, with materially larger delivery capacity.
• Computacenter: Pan-European IT infrastructure and Microsoft partner with significant enterprise footprint. Larger incumbent offering Microsoft licensing, deployment, and managed services across multiple countries, including the Netherlands and Germany where QS solutions operates.
• Logicalis: Global IT solutions and managed services provider with a significant Microsoft partnership and Cisco/Palo Alto security breadth. Comparable as a multi-country Microsoft systems integrator serving enterprise and mid-market customers.
• Insight Enterprises: Global Microsoft licensing solution provider (LSP) and IT solutions provider with hardware, software, and services lines. Competes with QS solutions on Microsoft resale plus implementation for mid-market and enterprise customers.
