What Iris Intranet does

Iris Intranet, operated by Dutch private company triptic b.v. (KvK nr 17100851), develops a social intranet and digital-workplace platform built on open-source technology and engineered entirely in Eindhoven, Netherlands. The platform combines news, information, and daily work tools (notably a Microsoft 365 integration including Teams) into a single accessible environment, with added modules such as Narrowcasting (digital signage), a mobile-responsive application starter, a "Vindmachine" search engine, and a "Wie-Wat-Waar" directory that connects people, teams, and locations through source-system integrations. Data is stored exclusively within Dutch borders and the platform holds ISO 27001, BIO, and WCAG certifications, an explicit selling point for regulated public-sector and healthcare buyers.

The company monetizes the product through annual subscription contracts (per-organization pricing with optional modules and integrations), supplemented by professional services for implementation, configuration, and onboarding. Distribution is sales-led: a small in-house commercial team supported by implementation and adoption partners (Adoptics, IT Value, Unica, RAM, Infoland and others) sells primarily into Dutch mid-market and enterprise accounts, with personalized demos as the key conversion mechanism. With approximately 20 employees and no disclosed external funding, triptic positions Iris as a long-term, independent Dutch vendor with a stated 2045 ambition of becoming "the favorite colleague of half of working Netherlands."

Iris serves roughly 170 organizations across government (municipalities including Gemeente Delft, Gemeente Weert, Provincie Noord-Brabant, Raad van State), healthcare (Flevoziekenhuis, SWZ Zorg, Revalidatiecentrum Roessingh, Alzheimer Nederland, Dichterbij, with 100,000+ healthcare professionals reportedly using the platform), education (Hogeschool Utrecht, Maastricht University, SCOPE Scholengroep, Johan de Witt), childcare (Kinderopvang 2Samen "Sammie," Partou), and trade/industry (Alphatron Marine operating across 6 countries, Hurks, Hoppenbrouwers Techniek, Rova, MF Shipping Group, Van Walraven, Van Benthem Keulen). Notable long-tenure customers include Gemeente Weert (nearly a decade) and Hurks (since 2014), indicating meaningful account stickiness.

Core offering

Iris Intranet is a Dutch-developed social intranet and digital workplace platform that centralizes news, information, and daily work applications (including Microsoft 365) into a single accessible hub. Built on open-source technology with data stored within Dutch borders and certified to ISO, BIO and WCAG standards, the platform combines directories, search, narrowcasting, mobile access, and integrations with tools like Zenya, TOPdesk and iProva. It is sold as a subscription SaaS product with add-on modules, integrations, and optional professional implementation services to organizations across government, healthcare, education and commercial sectors.

Product overview

Iris Intranet offers a modular social intranet platform designed as a comprehensive digital workplace solution. The core product is the Sociaal Intranet (Social Intranet), which serves as a centralized digital workplace combining news, information, and daily work tools on one accessible platform. The platform architecture follows a base-plus-modules approach, where organizations start with the core social intranet and can extend it with optional Modules (such as Narrowcasting for digital signage), Integrations (connecting to Microsoft 365, Zenya, TOPdesk, and iProva), and Functionaliteiten (specific features like the Wie-Wat-Waar directory, Digiboekjes, and the Vindmachine search tool). The company also provides a Support Center within the Iris Users Community for customer assistance. Built entirely in the Netherlands on open-source technology with data stored within Dutch borders, Iris serves over 170 organizations across government, education, healthcare, and industry sectors.

Broad incumbents

• Workplace from Meta: Meta's enterprise social platform offering news feed, groups, and workplace integrations. Overlaps with Iris's social intranet and community features (timeline, groups, private messages), but operates as a broad platform rather than a Dutch-localized, compliance-focused vendor.
• Microsoft (Viva / SharePoint): Microsoft bundles employee experience capabilities (Viva Connections, Viva Engage, SharePoint intranets) inside its Microsoft 365 suite. Overlaps directly with Iris's social intranet, news, and community features, but as part of a much broader productivity platform rather than a specialized Dutch vendor.
