What 3fifty does

3fifty operates in the Dutch market as Databalance Services B.V., a privately held managed IT services provider founded in 2007 and headquartered in Nieuwkuijk, Netherlands, with a secondary office in Papendrecht. The firm delivers customized managed IT services to mid-market and enterprise customers across five named verticals: Retail, Manufacturing, Government, Healthcare, and Agrifood, with named reference customers including Keolis, Gemeente Hoeksche Waard, and Boskalis.

Its service portfolio is organized into three business units (Managed IT Solutions, IT Solutions, and Cloud Solutions) and five product categories: Security (endpoint protection, managed firewall, ransomware recovery, vulnerability management, ICT compliance), Data & AI (storage, backup management, archiving, backup-as-a-service, disaster recovery), Modern Workplace, Hyperscale Cloud (cloud transformation, cloud security, cloud licenses, managed services), and Cloud & Infrastructure (hybrid, private, public cloud, IaaS, network infrastructure, AS/400). The company pursues a cloud-agnostic, multi-vendor strategy, deliberately avoiding lock-in to a single technology provider and selecting stacks based on customer business needs, security requirements, and growth strategy.

The business model is sales-led and direct, with quote-based subscription and project pricing delivered through annual or multi-year contracts. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring managed services complemented by project-based IT solutions work. The firm signals ongoing capability expansion through targeted M&A and strategic partnerships with hyperscale cloud providers and specialist technology vendors, and is building public brand visibility through Computable Awards 2026 nominations and thought-leadership content on topics such as NIS2 cybersecurity compliance.
