What droppar does

Droppar BV is a Belgian Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) specialist operating from Edegem (Antwerp) within the Contribute NV / Cronos Group ecosystem. The firm provides five core services to mid-market and enterprise customers across the Benelux: OCI architecture design, workload migration (including Oracle Zero Downtime Migration and Oracle Cloud Migrations automated discovery), application and database hosting on OCI, tiered managed services (Best effort, 8/18 business hours, 24/7, and Fully managed), and OCI staffing/consultancy embedding certified engineers into client teams. Underlying technology centers on Oracle Database, Oracle APEX, Oracle E-Business Suite, Forms & Reports, WebLogic, and Autonomous Database, with multi-cloud extensions into AWS, Azure, and GCP via Oracle Database@ partners and EU Sovereign Cloud deployment options.

Droppar is an annually audited Certified Oracle Cloud Managed Service Provider (CSP) holding five Oracle CSSE credentials, making it the most Oracle-certified partner in the Benelux according to its own positioning. The firm holds ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 27001 certifications and a 2025 Great Place to Work certification. Revenue is generated through a mix of recurring monthly managed-services subscriptions, fixed-price migration projects, and hourly staffing/consultancy engagements. The firm reports 150+ completed OCI projects and approximately 100+ active customer relationships spanning healthcare (UZA), government (Vlaamse Overheid), energy (Petronas), logistics (Intris), manufacturing (Vyncke), food (Signature Foods), and sports (Tennis- en Padel Vlaanderen).

Commercially, Droppar sells directly via consultative enterprise field sales in the Benelux with no channel resellers, supplemented by Oracle partnership co-sell and free architecture assessments. The company markets OCI's cost economics (claimed up to 57% lower TCO versus AWS/Azure/GCP) and EU data residency as primary buyer motivators, while positioning itself as a senior-consultant-accessible alternative to larger hyperscaler system integrators. The Cronos Group / Fieldside parentage provides access to 200+ experts and shared infrastructure, but Droppar operates as an independent specialized team.
