Belgian ICT service provider NRB and its partner Prodata Systems join forces. This collaboration enables Prodata Systems to offer a stronger portfolio to a larger group of customers, while the NRB group can call on Prodata Systems’ specific expertise in network solutions, cybersecurity and data centre management.
Prodata Systems is located in Zaventem. Its turnover increased by 25% last year to €26 million.
Prodata Systems specialises in the design, implementation and maintenance of network solutions, on-site data centre management and cybersecurity. It is active in the private and public sectors. Among its clients are the Federal Police, the Ministry of Defense, the Belgian Railways NMBS-SNCB, Brussels Airport, CHIREC Hospitals, AG Insurance and P&V.

Complementarity
"Teaming up with Prodata Systems is perfectly in line with our industrial project," says Pascal Laffineur, Chief Executive Officer of the NRB Group. "Our objective is to expand our range of services and our customer base as well as our geographical coverage. The combination of NRB and Prodata Systems creates opportunities for both companies and for our respective customers. There is a strong market demand for cybersecurity, network technology and data centre management skills such as those of Prodata Systems. In addition, Prodata Systems and Xperthis complement each other well.

"We complement Prodata Systems’ range of services with our modern infrastructures, such as our data centres, and our expertise in areas such as hybrid cloud services, mainframe services and custom software development," says Pascal Laffineur. "Thanks to Prodata Systems, the group can continue to develop throughout Belgium and, in a next step, in our neighbouring countries as well.”
