B/Focused experience by sector: real estate, architecture, manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, automotive, legal services and internal IT departments.
Organisations within real estate and multi-tenant business premises often deal with shared infrastructure, multiple tenants and complex network facilities.
What is at play
Multi-tenant networks
Fibre-optic connections
Patch rooms
WiFi environments
Cabling projects
In practice
For an office building, we completely redesigned four patch rooms on behalf of the government during a weekend migration with minimal impact for the tenants present.
Architecture, Engineering & Construction
Organisations within architecture, engineering and construction often work with large project files, a lot of data in a hybrid model and specialist software.
What is at play
Large project files
Collaboration with external parties
Project locations
Availability of project information
Hybrid working
In practice
Support for organisations that work daily with Revit, AutoCAD and Matrix Kozijn in a hybrid setup where performance and collaboration are central.
Organisations with an Internal IT Department
Organisations with their own IT department often need additional capacity, specialist knowledge or support for local projects and branches.
What is at play
Capacity shortages
Local support
Specialist project knowledge
Compliance & Governance
Lifecycle Management
In practice
For an organisation acquired by Ingersoll Rand, we support the local IT environment in the Netherlands while the central IT department operates from Munich.
Legal & Business Services
Organisations within legal and business services often set high requirements for confidentiality, accessibility, document management and compliance.
What is at play
Confidential information
Accessibility of employees
Document management & archiving
Compliance & governance
Secure collaboration
In practice
After our takeover, in a Managed IT construction, of the IT environment of a large estate agency, previously managed by a national IT organisation, the costs were significantly reduced.
Manufacturing & Industry
Within manufacturing and industrial environments, availability, continuity and reliability are often of direct importance to business operations.
What is at play
Continuity of business processes
Availability of critical systems
Network connections between locations
Back-up & Disaster Recovery
Cyber resilience
In practice
For a manufacturing organisation, we analysed an existing private cloud environment and redesigned it as a hybrid IT environment. This resulted in structurally lower operational costs without compromising on availability, performance or continuity.
Logistics & Transport
Within logistics and transport, continuity and fast support are essential to keep business processes running smoothly.
What is at play
Availability of critical systems
Connections between locations
Mobile employees
Continuity of logistics processes
Cyber resilience
In practice
During a cybersecurity incident at a logistics organisation, we provided immediate support during an ongoing quotation process. By acting directly with our team on a Sunday, risks could be limited and our added value was immediately visible. This rapid deployment ultimately led to a long-term collaboration that has continued for years.
Healthcare & Welfare
Within healthcare and welfare organisations, availability, confidentiality and continuity of systems are essential for employees, clients and patients.
What is at play
Protection of data & personal data
Availability of systems
NEN 7510 and compliance
Cyber resilience
Secure collaboration
In practice
We support various Healthcare & Welfare organisations that increasingly receive questions about information security, compliance, governance and cyber resilience. Besides daily management & support, we help by making risks, technical measures and improvement points within the IT environment insightful.
Automotive
Within automotive organisations, accessibility, workshop processes and the availability of systems are essential for daily operations.
What is at play
Multiple branches
Workshop and planning systems
Continuity of services
Network and WiFi provisioning issues
Accessibility of employees
In practice
Support for automotive organisations with multiple locations, where availability of workshop software, telephony, network facilities and collaboration between branches plays an important role in daily business operations. Specifically, sometimes WiFi problems due to, for example, trucks in the workshop.
Not every organisation has the same challenges in the field of IT, cyber resilience, compliance and business continuity. Although the technology often looks similar, processes, software used, risks and expectations differ greatly per sector.
In recent years, B/Focused has supported organisations across a wide range of sectors, including real estate, architecture, engineering, construction, legal services, manufacturing companies and organisations with an internal IT department. As a result, we understand not only the technical issues, but also the daily practice in which employees, processes and business-critical software come together.
Our experience therefore goes further than managing systems alone. We think along about continuity, cyber resilience, compliance, collaboration and the use of technology within the specific context of your organisation.
Whether it concerns organisations working with software such as Revit, AutoCAD and Matrix Kozijn, multi-tenant business premises with shared infrastructure, production environments where availability is crucial or organisations with their own IT department that need additional expertise, we support organisations with solutions that fit their practice.
Why organisations from different sectors choose B/Focused
Experience that goes beyond IT
Although every organisation is unique, we often recognise the same challenges within different sectors in the field of cyber resilience, continuity, collaboration, compliance and digital transformation.
In recent years, B/Focused has built up experience with companies in a wide range of industries. The sectors on this page are therefore not a complete list of our clients, but give an impression of sectors in which we have demonstrably built up experience with specific software, processes and business-critical challenges.
By building up experience within various organisations, we understand not only the technology, but also the processes, software and dependencies that determine an organisation’s success.
Focus on processes, not just technology
We look not only at systems and infrastructure, but mainly at the way employees, processes and technology work together. This means solutions fit better with the daily practice of the organisation.
Technology Alignment
With Technology Alignment we periodically map out risks, improvement points and future developments so that organisations are better prepared for growth, changes and new challenges.
One partner for strategy, management and projects
Whether it concerns Managed IT, Co-Managed IT, Cyber Resilience, Compliance & Governance, Microsoft 365, Network & Infrastructure or Project Based IT, organisations can rely on one point of contact that thinks along about both daily practice and the long term.
