What Eshgro | Cloud Services ☁ does

Eshgro Group B.V. is a privately held Dutch ICT managed service provider headquartered in Druten, Netherlands, with additional offices in Almere and Apeldoorn and a dedicated Experience Center at its Druten facility. Founded approximately 30 years ago (circa 1992–1995) and operating under the Your.World parent group, Eshgro employs 250+ staff ("Eshgronauts") and targets mid-market and enterprise customers across twelve Dutch verticals — healthcare, government, manufacturing, transport/logistics, wholesale, finance, legal, accountancy, insurance, staffing, notaries, and physiotherapy. Its core offering, the "Smarter Workplace" / "Smarter 365" managed platform, integrates Microsoft 365, Microsoft Azure, the Power Platform, and more than 800 line-of-business applications (including AFAS) into a single managed environment covering productivity, identity, security, and AI enablement.

Revenue mechanics combine recurring managed service contracts (the dominant line), project-based cloud migration and implementation work, security service bundles (including Managed Detection and Response delivered in partnership with WithSecure, plus firewall management, penetration testing, and incident response), and training/adoption engagements such as the AI Readiness Scan and Copilot workshops. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to client scope, with no public list pricing disclosed. Go-to-market is direct and field-led, organized by account managers and an "adviesgesprek" advisory motion across three regional offices, with no reseller or marketplace channels.

The regulatory posture is a strategic anchor: the Druten facility is certified to ISO 27001, SOC II Type I and II, NEN 7510 (healthcare-specific), and ISAE 3402 Type 2, qualifying Eshgro for regulated and public-sector tenders. Eshgro has been a Microsoft Partner for 15+ years and holds five Solutions Partner designations (Data & AI Azure, Infrastructure Azure, App Innovation, Modern Work, Security) plus Copilot and AI Solutions recognition. Named customers include Bol.com, Efteling, Pluryn, Eosta, CNC, Peeze, Donatus, Bol Adviseurs, Durlinger, Sportbedrijf Deventer, and several Dutch municipalities, with several long-running 10+ year client relationships.
