ECD

What ECD does

ECD BV is a privately held Dutch managed IT services provider founded in 2003 by Eelco van den Bogaerdt and headquartered in 's-Hertogenbosch, with an operating office in Vlijmen. The company delivers an integrated suite of IT services to the Dutch SMB (MKB) market, centered on IT management (Beheer), cloud workspace services (Werken in de cloud), hardware and software procurement, implementation services, ADSL connectivity with IP VPN/firewall, telephony, and domain hosting. ECD operates as an HP partner and Dell value-added reseller for hardware distribution, and integrates TeamViewer for remote support.

Underlying technology is conventional managed-IT infrastructure: cloud-hosted virtual workspaces billed per workstation on a monthly subscription, domain hosting with automatic renewal and web accommodation, ADSL linesharing with VPN and firewall services, and proactive maintenance with backup management across standalone PCs, servers, and networks. No proprietary platform, patents, trademarks, API surface, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed.

ECD's business model combines recurring revenue (managed services and cloud subscriptions), transactional revenue (hardware resale through HP/Dell, one-time software licensing), and project revenue (implementation and professional services). Pricing is quote-based and customized per SMB customer rather than tiered publicly, with monthly billing on the cloud subscription line. The go-to-market is direct and consultative, with website inquiries, a single published phone line, and on-site advisory visits; the company self-describes a flat organizational structure with short communication lines and low staff turnover. Distribution is single-country (Netherlands), and customer segments are horizontal SMBs with a secondary vocational-trainee segment via SBB-recognized training status.
