Exquando

What Exquando does

Exquando is a Belgian information governance and document management consulting firm founded in 2009 and headquartered in Wavre, Belgium. The company operates under the brand 'Exquando, the infosystem agency' and positions itself as a systems-oriented partner for structuring, transforming, and operating client 'infoSystems' — the combination of information, technologies, rules, and people that determines data reliability. The firm organizes its offering around three solution areas: Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC) document control; Enterprise Information Management (EIM) consulting; and Information Asset Preservation (IAP) archiving and retention services.

Its core product is Document Control as a Service (DCaaS), an on-demand managed service for AEC projects delivered via a ticketing model and supported by multi-platform expertise (SharePoint, OpenText Content Server, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Mezzoteam, Aconex, LiveLink). The proprietary InfoSystem Model Canvas (IMC) methodology underpins consulting engagements, and the IMC Digital Twin extends the canvas into a living digital platform for ongoing governance. An AI-powered unstructured data processing service, developed with support from the Digital Wallonia 4.IA program, applies client-specific ontology to extract structured information from documents and technical drawings.

The business model is professional services and customized enterprise consulting: engagements are quote-based, scoped to project needs, frequently multi-year, and delivered on-site or via managed service. The go-to-market is sales-led, targeting large organizations in construction (Besix, UCB), pharmaceutical (GSK, UCB), banking (BNPPF, Fortis, EIB), energy (Elia, Fluxys, Engie, Technord, Equans), public transport (STIB), research (IMEC), and government (Belgian Red Cross, European Commission OIB, CESE). With 58 collaborators and 629 missions completed since founding, Exquando is a regional specialist scaling through framework contracts, partner consortiums, and AI-augmented services rather than via external funding.
