What elite networks does

Elite Networks B.V. is a Dutch managed network and cybersecurity services provider founded in 2013 and headquartered in 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands. The company designs, deploys, and operates secure multi-site connectivity and IT security for medium-sized and enterprise customers, primarily across logistics & transport, industry & manufacturing, and agri & food verticals. Its core portfolio centers on SD-WAN and SASE overlays, complemented by EDR/XDR, NDR, a 24/7 SOC, Shadow AI detection, cyber awareness training, and a NIS2-oriented Health Check service. The technology stack is largely best-of-breed third-party — Fortinet Security Fabric, Cato Networks SASE Cloud, GNX global connectivity, Eurofiber fiber underlay, Teridion WAN optimization, Aviatrix multi-cloud orchestration, BlueVoyant SOC, Nozomi OT security, and HPE Aruba wired/wireless — combined with an API-first integration and automation layer that the company operates, plus dedicated Client Ambassadors reachable via Microsoft Teams rather than a ticket system.

The business operates on a recurring OPEX model with three delivery shapes: fully managed, co-managed (sharing responsibility with the customer's internal IT/OT team), and project-based consultancy delivered via the 100%-owned subsidiary Elite Engineers B.V. Revenue derives from monthly-billed managed service contracts (priced by sites, endpoints, and tier), annual EDR/XDR endpoint subscriptions at €59.99 (Elite) and €79.99 (Ultimate), and bespoke consultancy engagements. Named customers include Heineken, Vos Logistics (35+ sites), Weener Plastics (26 sites in 17 countries), Wessanen, Sitra, Green Energy Storage, Diagnostiek voor U, Microlab, Leeuwendaal, Microstad, and Agito — with active operations primarily in the Netherlands and broader EMEA, and project reach into the Americas and Asia via GNX.

The company sells through a consultative direct sales motion with event-driven demand generation (e.g., 2025 SASE Test Drive with Cato Networks, Cybersecurity & AI event for Transport & Logistiek with Fortinet), partner referral, and content marketing around NIS2 and SD-WAN/SASE themes. It holds ISO 27001:2022 certification (verified by Bureau Veritas), achieved Fortinet Advanced Partner status in 2021, and was named an FD Gazelle 2025 — placing it among the top 829 fastest-growing companies in the Netherlands.

Revenue model

1. Managed Services: Elite Networks manages, builds, and scales customer networks on an ongoing basis. Services cover SD-WAN, SASE, LAN, security monitoring, and cloud management. Customers can flexibly scale up or down, and locations can be suspended during closures to avoid unnecessary costs. Revenue is recurring, based on service scope, number of sites/endpoints, and chosen tiers. OPEX model avoids large capital investments for customers.
2. Co-Managed Services: A tailored split of responsibilities between Elite Networks and the customer's own IT/OT team. Elite handles network infrastructure, connectivity, security layers, monitoring, and escalations; the customer retains governance and day-to-day control of critical systems. Revenue is recurring based on agreed scope per component, location, or role.
3. Professional Services / Consultancy: Project-based consultancy engagements for SD-WAN, SASE, LAN, VPN, or Datacenter questions and specific projects. Delivered through 100% subsidiary Elite Engineers B.V. Engagements are one-time or project-based.
4. Cybersecurity Subscriptions (EDR/XDR): AI-automated endpoint protection (EDR/XDR) delivered as annual subscriptions. Two tiers: Elite at €59.99/endpoint/year and Ultimate at €79.99/endpoint/year. Includes 24/7 SOC monitoring, automated threat response, and optional ransomware warranty. Pricing scales by number of endpoints.
5. Health Check Services: One-time or periodic network assessments and security health checks, including NIS2 compliance checks and cable clean-up services. The 'Cable Clean Up' is offered free as a summer promotion, with an optional paid advisory report (€999 excl. VAT) as upsell.

Expansion highlights7 records

Direct peers

• Wortell: Dutch managed services provider specializing in cloud, security and modern workplace, with a comparable customer base among NL mid-market and enterprise. It is the closest head-to-head MSP competitor in the Netherlands for cloud/security managed services.
• Cato Networks: SASE/SD-WAN platform vendor whose technology Elite Networks implements and resells; Cato also sells managed SASE directly to enterprises, so it is both a partner and a competitive channel for the same wallet.
• Versa Networks: SD-WAN and SASE platform vendor serving the same enterprise/mid-market customer base. Versa is both a category alternative to Cato (Elite's current SASE partner) and a competing layer that customers could buy direct.
• Aryaka: Managed SD-WAN and SASE provider built around its own private network, targeting multi-national enterprises. Aryaka competes for similar mid-market and enterprise managed connectivity/security budgets, especially for companies needing global SD-WAN reach.
• Avit: Dutch managed services and system integrator specializing in networking, UC and AV. A close Dutch head-to-head peer competing for the same mid-market and enterprise networking/managed services engagements.

Broad incumbents

• KPN: The Dutch incumbent telecom offering SD-WAN, SASE, managed security and connectivity services across the same NL enterprise segment. KPN competes on breadth and incumbent trust, while Elite Networks competes on overlay flexibility and partner-led delivery.
• T-Systems: Deutsche Telekom subsidiary offering managed network, cloud and security services across Europe. T-Systems competes for the same multi-site enterprise SD-WAN/SASE deals that Elite Networks targets, typically in larger deals and pan-European rollouts.
• Orange Business Services: Global managed network, cloud and security services arm of Orange, serving multi-site European enterprises with SD-WAN, SASE and SOC capabilities. A relevant comparison for Elite's ambitions in cross-border enterprise deals.
• Proximus: Belgian incumbent telecom offering enterprise managed connectivity, SD-WAN and security across the Benelux region — overlapping with Elite's Dutch/EMEA customer base and go-to-market motion.
• BT Global Services: The enterprise networking and security arm of BT, providing managed WAN/SD-WAN, SASE and security operations across Europe. A comparable broad incumbent competing for the same multi-national enterprise managed network wallet.
