What SPEYK does

SPEYK BV is a Dutch private ICT services company headquartered in Veenendaal, Netherlands, founded in 2001 as SB Datacom and rebranded to SPEYK in 2013. The company serves two primary verticals: educational institutions (primary and secondary schools, school boards, and federations) and organizations (healthcare, government, and business services). SPEYK employs approximately 60 specialists, all focused on delivering digital work and learning environments built primarily on the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.

The company's core proprietary platform is DigiPlein365, a centralized digital learning and working environment on Microsoft 365 that provides federated schools with Single Sign-On access to student information systems (AFAS, Zermelo, Magister), collaboration tools (Teams), and a knowledge base. For organizational clients, SPEYK offers the parallel Digikantoor 365 workplace solution. The product portfolio extends to custom applications including the Magister PTA App (for assessment data import), the Bezoekersregistratie App (multilingual touchscreen visitor registration), the Rooster Synchronisatie connector (Zermelo–Outlook schedule sync), and the Normenkader Toolkit (Excel-based information security/privacy compliance assessment). Core partnerships include Microsoft (technology foundation), Tools4ever (Identity & Access Management), YourSafetynet (security assessments), and Kennisnet (Normenkader IBP FO framework publisher).

SPEYK's revenue model is a mix of recurring managed services, platform/DigiPlein365 subscriptions, project-based professional services (cloud migration, transition management, Normenkader IBP FO and NIS2 compliance implementations), and training/adoption programs. The company sells consultatively through direct enterprise field sales targeting school boards, ICT coordinators, and organizational leadership, supplemented by monthly themed events, a quarterly newsletter, content marketing (blog/Kennis & Inspiratie), LinkedIn, and the Expeditiedag lead-generation event for VO schools. SPEYK operates as SPEYK BV, a private Dutch limited liability company with no disclosed external funding, M&A, or parent company.
