What Avit Group does

Avit Group B.V. is a Netherlands-headquartered (Vianen) Cisco-specialized network integrator and managed services provider, privately held and founded in 2002. The company operates across four solution pillars — Networking, Cybersecurity, Collaboration, and Cloud & AI — and delivers them through a layered service portfolio consisting of IT Fulfilment (hardware/logistics procurement), IT Consultancy (advisory and implementation), Managed Services (24x7 NOC-driven operations), Managed Security (SOC-driven threat monitoring), and Customer Experience advisory. The technology stack is entirely Cisco-centric, spanning SD-WAN, Software Defined Access (SDA), Cisco XDR, Secure Access, ZTNA, Meraki, and Webex collaboration, with delivery backed by 1,062+ Cisco Black Belt partner certifications and 113+ CCNA/CCNP/CCIE career certifications across its ~100-person team.

The company monetizes through three revenue streams: recurring managed service subscriptions (typically 3–5+ year multi-year framework agreements, including the newer Network-as-a-Service model), project-based IT consultancy (one-time per engagement), and IT Fulfilment (Cisco hardware/software resale often bundled with the other two). GTM is enterprise field sales targeting Dutch and Belgian government, healthcare, education, and enterprise/manufacturing clients — won primarily through European public tenders and direct account engagement. Delivery is anchored by 24x7 NOC operations in Emmeloord and Manila and SOC operations in Portugal, with additional offices in Wilrijk (Belgium) and Oeiras (Portugal), all under the Springboard Network collective of European Cisco specialists.

Avit serves 22,000+ protected end users across managed customer environments and holds consecutive Cisco Security Partner of the Year awards (2024, 2025), Cisco Managed Services Partner of the Year 2025, and Cisco Powered Services certification. Customer evidence includes multi-year framework agreements with municipalities (Gemeente Súdwest-Fryslân, Gemeente Nijkerk, SWO De Wolden Hoogeveen), hospitals (Zuyderland, ZONL), education (Curio, 41 campuses, 23,000+ students), and global manufacturing (JBT Marel, ~100 international locations post-merger). The company is a founding label of Springboard Network, alongside Wingmen (DK/NO) and system.de (DE), positioning it as the Benelux anchor of a pan-European Cisco specialist collective.

Core offering

Avit Group is a Dutch network integrator and managed services provider that designs, implements, and manages Cisco-based ICT infrastructure, cybersecurity, collaboration, and cloud & AI solutions for enterprises, governments, healthcare organizations, and educational institutions across the Netherlands and Belgium. Its portfolio spans professional services, managed services, managed security, IT consultancy, IT Fulfilment, and customer experience offerings delivered under multi-year framework agreements.

Product overview

Avit Group operates as both a Network Integrator and Managed Services Provider, organized around four core solution pillars — Networking, Cybersecurity, Collaboration, and Cloud & AI — each targeting distinct technology domains. Beneath these pillars, Avit delivers its services through a layered service portfolio: IT Fulfilment handles procurement, logistics, and delivery of ICT solutions; IT Consultancy provides advisory, design, and implementation expertise; Managed Services delivers ongoing 24x7 ICT operations through Avit's NOC and Global Operations Center; Managed Security adds a dedicated SOC with proactive threat monitoring; and Customer Experience maximizes the value derived from the IT investment. This architecture allows Avit to address customers at different levels — from a single solution (e.g., Networking via IT Fulfilment alone) to a fully outsourced engagement (all four pillars under Managed Services with Managed Security). Avit is a Cisco Preferred Partner with Cisco Powered Services certification, implementing and managing Cisco technologies including SD-WAN, Secure Access, Webex, and Meraki across government, healthcare, education, and commercial sectors.

Direct peers

• Computacenter: UK-headquartered Cisco Gold Partner and large enterprise MSP/integrator with a comparable Cisco-led networking, security, and managed services model. Closest publicly traded analogue to Avit in terms of vendor focus and services mix.
• Cegeka: Benelux-headquartered IT services provider with networking, security, cloud, and managed services offerings across similar mid-market and regulated customers. A natural Benelux peer to Avit in size and customer profile.
• SCC: European Cisco-focused integrator and managed services provider with significant UK and continental Europe presence. Comparable in Cisco specialization, services portfolio, and mid-to-large enterprise/government customer base.
• system.de: German Cisco specialist and Springboard Network member. Shares Avit's Cisco-only positioning and managed services approach, but serves the DACH market — making it a sister-company peer within the same collective.
• Logicalis: Global Cisco partner and managed services provider with strong enterprise networking and security practices. Operates an overlapping MSP + integration business model in multiple regions.
• Infradata: Dutch-headquartered Cisco Gold Partner and network integrator with security and managed services capabilities. Closest like-for-like competitor to Avit in the Netherlands.
• Wingmen: Danish Cisco specialist and direct Springboard Network member alongside Avit. Operates the same Cisco-only integration and managed services model in Denmark and Norway, making it a true direct peer within the same network collective.

Regional players

• KPN: Dutch incumbent telecom operator with a substantial managed connectivity and security services portfolio. Competes with Avit for Dutch enterprise and public-sector network and security mandates, primarily from a carrier/connectivity angle rather than a Cisco integrator angle.

Broad incumbents

• Capgemini: Global SI with substantial Cisco alliance practice and network transformation services. Competes with Avit on larger enterprise and public-sector digital infrastructure deals, though at significantly greater scale.
• NTT Data (formerly Dimension Data): Global SI with a heritage Cisco integrator practice (via Dimension Data) and broad managed services portfolio. Larger, more diversified, but directly competes for the same enterprise Cisco-led deals Avit targets.
