Blue ICT

What Blue ICT does

Blue ICT is a privately held regional IT services provider headquartered in Zwaag (Hoorn), Netherlands, with a secondary office in Amsterdam and colocation presence in the Iron Mountain and EvoSwitch data centers in Haarlem. The company delivers managed IT, connectivity, hosting, and physical infrastructure services to small and medium-sized businesses across North Holland, including West-Friesland, the Zaanstreek, and the Amsterdam metropolitan area. It targets clients with up to 50 workstations that lack full in-house IT capability.

Its service portfolio is organized into four interlocking categories: cloud productivity (Microsoft 365, Exchange Online, VoIP telephony), infrastructure (virtual and dedicated servers, website hosting, domain registration via direct SIDN participation and EuroDNS), security (cloud and local backup, ESET spam filtering, Hikvision 4K cameras), and connectivity (Art of Automation and Delta Fiber Netwerk business fiber, KPN VDSL, 4G failover). Underlying technology is largely a stack of third-party vendor products integrated and operated by Blue ICT, with proprietary value concentrated in regional fiber partnerships, direct SIDN membership, and event ICT logistics (ticketing infrastructure, temporary WiFi, satellite backup).

The business model combines recurring subscription revenue (managed services, hosting, fiber, server monitoring at EUR 21.50 per server per month) with project-based one-time revenue (cabling, camera installation, infrastructure builds). Go-to-market is direct field sales with free on-site assessments, supported by a Dutch-language website, Google Business presence, regional sponsorships (kickboxing), and a stated 6-day-per-week availability. No external funding, M&A, or public capital events are disclosed; ownership appears independent, with Jacco Komijn identified as the primary contact and project lead.

Broad incumbents

• Cegeka: Large Benelux managed services and systems-integration provider with significant Dutch SMB/midmarket presence; competes for multi-site Microsoft 365, managed IT and hosting contracts and serves as a credible exit/roll-up comparator for a regional Dutch MSP like Blue ICT.
• KPN: Netherlands' incumbent telco offering KPN Business internet, VDSL and fiber — directly resold by Blue ICT and competing head-on with bundled VoIP/Microsoft 365 packages. KPN's SMB-focused Klein Zakelijk portfolio targets the same <50-workstation customer segment Blue ICT serves.
• Solvinity: Dutch managed hosting and IT services provider with Amsterdam-based data center operations; competes with Blue ICT's Iron Mountain/EvoSwitch-hosted VPS, dedicated server and managed service offerings for Dutch SMB and midmarket customers.
• Pink Elephant: Long-standing Dutch managed IT services and ITSM-focused provider; comparable to Blue ICT on managed services, workspace management and Microsoft-centric support for SMB and midmarket customers across the Netherlands.
• Rout IT: Largest Dutch ICT wholesaler for managed service providers; Blue ICT has been featured at Rout IT partner events. Both serve the Dutch SMB ICT channel via partner-managed service delivery, making them direct comparables on customer-base and service scope.

Direct peers

• Open Line: Dutch managed services provider serving SMB and midmarket organizations across multiple Dutch regions — closest head-to-head competitor to Blue ICT on outsourced IT, cloud, VoIP and security with very similar customer profile.
• Art of Automation: Hoorn-based fiber network operator building its own fiber since 2019 for business customers in West-Friesland; Blue ICT services the connections Art of Automation delivers. They overlap on selling business fiber connectivity to the same North Holland SMB market with similar 1:1-speed guarantees.

Others

• Iron Mountain Data Centers: Hosts Blue ICT's website hosting and SMB server colocation at its Haarlem facility with redundant power, cooling and AMS-IX connectivity. Functions as the upstream hosting layer for Blue ICT's recurring hosting revenue.
• EvoSwitch (data center): Haarlem-based colocation provider hosting Blue ICT's dedicated servers and connecting through AMS-IX. Functions as upstream infrastructure partner rather than competitor, but its hosting footprint defines the availability/SLA baseline Blue ICT can offer.

Regional players

• Delta Fiber Netwerk: Netherlands regional fiber operator active in West-Friesland commercial estates — Blue ICT is an authorized partner and productizes Delta Fiber packages. Overlaps on business connectivity in the same North Holland geography from a network-owner rather than reseller perspective.
