Futureproof Group strengthens its position in the Rotterdam region and expands its service portfolio in application development and application & data integration through the successful acquisition of Referit. This strategic move provides Referit with the opportunity to leverage the scale advantages of Futureproof Group while maintaining its current structure and identity.
Since its establishment in 2007, Referit has evolved into a forward-thinking player in cloud computing and application development as a result of its skilled employees and strong customer focus. The company provides support in cloud services, (CSP) licenses, IT architecture, security, application development and application & data integration to a diverse customer base.
Through the collaboration with Futureproof Group, Referit can now focus even more on serving its customers and improving and expanding its service offerings by directly benefiting from the additional knowledge and expertise within the group.
Michel de Gronckel remains responsible for the technical and operational part of Referit, while Frans Koster continues to focus on the general and commercial aspects, both supported by the supplementary knowledge, experience, and resources of Futureproof Group. Michel de Gronckel emphasizes, "Given the rapid evolution of the ICT landscape and the desire to expand and improve our service offerings, we have concluded that we can accelerate this ambition by aligning ourselves with a reputable group of ICT service providers. We have found this professional organization in Futureproof Group. Referit will closely collaborate with the other units of Futureproof Group. We have great confidence in the partnership with and look forward to the next growth phase for Referit and our valued clients."
The acquisition of Referit aligns perfectly with the growth strategy of Futureproof Group, further expanding its position in the Rotterdam region. Additionally, the acquisition further strengthens the product portfolio of Futureproof Group in the areas of application development and application & data integration.
