What BosworX does

Eshgro is a privately held Dutch ICT managed services provider founded in 1994 and headquartered in Druten, Netherlands, with additional offices in Almere and Apeldoorn. The company employs more than 250 staff and serves Dutch organizations across enterprise, mid-market, healthcare, government, and manufacturing segments with a portfolio structured around three pillars: Eenvoudiger (Simpler) for cloud migration, servicedesk, and workplace management; Veiliger (Safer) for firewall management, Managed Detection & Response, pentesting, and incident response; and Slimmer (Smarter) for AI and Microsoft Copilot adoption, collaboration, and productivity automation. The technology backbone is built almost entirely on the Microsoft stack — Azure, Microsoft 365, and Copilot — supported by five Microsoft Solutions Partner designations covering Data & AI, Infrastructure, App Innovation, Modern Work, and Security.

The business operates a consultative, sales-led go-to-market motion targeting Dutch IT decision-makers and C-level buyers. Revenue is generated through three streams: subscription-based managed IT services (cloud, security, workplace, and IT support under SLA), project-based professional services for cloud migration, digital transformation, and AI readiness, and tiered SLA support contracts including 24/7 escalation. Distribution is exclusively direct sales with no self-serve or marketplace channel, augmented by a customer portal (mijn.eshgro.nl) for existing client requests. Marketing relies on thought-leadership content, case studies, an email newsletter, event-driven engagement through the Druten Experience Center, and a recurring 'Eshgro Next' event series, with all demand ultimately funnelled into a consultative advisory meeting rather than transactional pricing.

The named customer portfolio includes Bol, Efteling, Bol Adviseurs (10-year cloud partner), Donatus, Peeze, Pluryn, Woonzorg Flevoland, Personato, Gemeente Peel en Maas, Gemeente Gennep, Euro Caps, Wyn & Stael, CNC Grondstoffen, and Spectrum, illustrating a deliberate horizontal approach with vertical anchors in healthcare, government, and manufacturing. There is no disclosed parent company, investor base, funding history, or revenue figure, and the company's reach is exclusively domestic to the Netherlands.
