What Futureproof Group does

Futureproof Group B.V. is a Dutch ICT service platform operating as a 'House of Brands' under private equity sponsor MKB Fonds. Founded in 2013, the group aggregates approximately 20 acquired ICT service providers across 20+ Dutch locations, employing roughly 850 staff as of 2024 and generating over €120 million in revenue as of August 2023. Each subsidiary retains its own brand, leadership and customer relationships, while the parent provides shared tooling, group-level purchasing power, financial backing and a buy-and-build pipeline.

The group delivers a comprehensive managed-services portfolio — managed IT, cyber security, cloud infrastructure, unified communications, ERP (Exact and Microsoft Dynamics via WSB Solutions), business intelligence, IoT and business continuity — primarily to Dutch SMB (MKB) clients, with additional exposure to corporate, mid-market, non-profit, education, legal/notary and horticulture verticals. Technology is delivered on top of partner ecosystems from Microsoft, Cisco, Veeam, Fortinet, HP, Dell, Exact, KPN and Barracuda, complemented by a proprietary client portal that automates ICT-environment health reporting and a self-developed innovation platform (LibraLAB).

The business model combines recurring managed-service subscriptions, project-based professional services, hardware/software resale and telecom services, distributed exclusively through the brand-label network. Go-to-market is local-direct: each label operates its own field sales team targeting SMB clients in its region, with cross-referral across the group. The MKB Fonds-backed buy-and-build strategy is the primary growth engine, with a stated ambition to at least double the group in size.

Broad incumbents

• Capgemini Netherlands: Global IT services and consulting leader with a Dutch delivery footprint covering cloud, managed services, and cybersecurity. Competes for larger mid-market and enterprise mandates overlapping with Futureproof's secondary corporate segment.
• KPN: Largest Dutch telecom operator with a sizable business IT services and managed services division serving SMB and corporate customers. Competes with Futureproof in managed connectivity, cloud, and security but as part of a much broader consumer-and-business portfolio.
• Atos: Global IT services company (now restructured) with established Dutch operations providing managed infrastructure, cloud, and security services to enterprise and public-sector clients. Adjacent competitor for larger Futureproof accounts and digital transformation projects.
• T-Systems: Deutsche Telekom's IT services arm operating in the Netherlands with managed infrastructure, cloud, and SAP services. Much larger and more enterprise-focused, but overlaps with Futureproof on mid-market cloud and managed services opportunities.
• CGI Group: Global IT and business consulting services firm with a significant Netherlands presence, offering managed services, cloud, and systems integration. Operates at much larger scale and broader scope than Futureproof but competes for Dutch mid-market managed services deals.

Direct peers

• Cegeka: Benelux-headquartered IT services provider offering managed services, cloud, security, and application services to SMB and enterprise customers across the Netherlands, Belgium, and beyond. Comparable size, geography, and managed-services-led business model.
• Total Specific Solutions (TSS): Dutch vertical-market software and IT services consolidator that acquires and operates specialist IT businesses across Europe. Comparable multi-brand roll-up strategy, though more software-vertical weighted than Futureproof's services-heavy mix.
• Simac: Dutch-based IT services and solutions group with a comparable mix of managed services, cloud, security, and hardware/software resale. Like Futureproof, Simac is a multi-brand consolidator operating across Benelux with a similar SMB and mid-market customer profile, making it the closest pure comparable.
• Ordina (Computacenter): Formerly an independent Dutch IT services specialist in cloud, application management, and managed services, Ordina was acquired by Computacenter in 2022. Highly comparable in target market (Dutch SMB and mid-market) and managed-services focus prior to integration.
• Conclusion: Dutch IT services group structured as a federation of specialist labels, very similar to Futureproof's House of Brands model. Both groups target Dutch enterprise/SMB clients across managed services, cloud, and digital transformation, with comparable revenue scale.
