EU BUSINESS NEWS / 2020 Benelux Enterprise Awards 15 , Best ICT MSP 2020 The world of ICT is constantly changing, and the speed at which it is changing is ever- increasing. It opens up impressive and powerful opportunities for enterprises, but also brings its own challenges. The Hestia Group offers the help that businesses need to transform their companies for the next stage of IT requirements. We look a little more closely at the firm in the light of the team’s achievement in this year’s Benelux Enterprise Awards. Jul20539 Nicolas Geudens has incredible foresight. When he obtained his master’s degree in commercial sciences, he chose to combine a specialization year in ICT Management with an extra specialization in the field of marketing. He did this because he felt there were few people could bring IT to the masses in a way that was easily understood. With this background, it’s little wonder that he went on to found Hestia. After many years in various business development management positions, Nicolas could see the challenges that were approaching businesses. Hestia was his solution to the upcoming problems, providing much needed support across a range of different sectors. The firm has become a major part of many companies’ ICT needs since it was founded. The usual growing pains of any company were avoided as the business spent two years incubating within the Cronos holding (parent company). Now headquartered in Edegem, Belgium, the team provide services across the Benelux region and has become highly regarded as one of the leading Managed Services specialists. IT departments can no longer standardize on one or two computer models, a single operating system and a shortlist of approved applications. There is an incredible depth to the way in which ICT systems operate that previously wasn’t there, and continues to grow. Hestia focuses on managing this increasingly complicated network, supporting a company’s ICT infrastructure. The secret to Hestia’s continued success has been a commitment to quality from the very beginning. Hestia was the first and only company in Belgium to receive accreditation in accordance with the MSPAlliance’s (MSPA) Managed Services Accreditation Program, a program specifically designed to provide business consumers with the assurance of the highest quality. As companies are able to re-establish their core activities, the team at Hestia can build long-term relationships with customers and become a trusted partner. Many companies have turned to Hestia for much needed support, and the team has been active in all sectors. It serves enterprises of every side, employing over 100 highly skilled engineers to ensure that the service delivered is always exceptional. The success of the company is down to the team, and the impressive leadership of Mr Geudens, who ensures that the team are always enthused and excited at going to work for the business. The name Hestia was chosen with great care by Mr Geudens. Hestia was a Greek goddess, responsible for protecting the golden flame. The golden flame that the company protects is that of knowledge. Knowledge is the basis of the business, allowing the team to deliver a consistent and quality service to every client. The second meaning of Hestia in Greek mythology was the institution and fostering of new initiatives. Nothing could sum up the team’s attitude better. They are always looking for exciting new directions for their projects to take. As the team celebrate their victory in the Benelux Enterprise Awards, it’s fair to say that they have great plans moving forward. Technology continues to accelerate at a considerable pace, and the team are making every effort to keep businesses ahead of the game. This is why people continue to use their services, and why the business continues to thrive. Company: Hestia Group Name: Nicolas Geudens Web Address: www.hestia-it.be
