The Hague / Wijchen – NCIM and VDK Telecommunications are announcing a strategic partnership. Starting today, the two organizations are joining forces to deliver projects together, serve their clients better and grow their client portfolios side by side.

Goals and benefits of the partnership

Within the partnership, NCIM contributes a broad portfolio of security-cleared IT services and VDK contributes specialist expertise in mission-critical communications. By combining expertise, capacity and market reach, the partners offer integrated solutions and deliver projects in complex C4ISR environments. Clients get a more complete offering from a single source. Through cross-selling and joint business development, both partners grow their client portfolios. And by sharing knowledge and innovating together, NCIM and VDK can respond more quickly to new technology and to their clients' challenges.

A shared vision for the future

Harold Kasperink, CEO NCIM:

"Our clients increasingly ask for complete solutions rather than individual components. VDK has deep expertise in mission-critical communications, and we bring a broad security-cleared IT portfolio and the capacity to scale up. Together, we can help organizations in government and in the defence and security market faster and more comprehensively than either of us could on our own."

Bas Kesselaer, COO VDK:

"Communications have to work when it really matters. That's what VDK has stood for for more than thirty years. With NCIM as our partner, we can bring our solutions, from mission-critical communications to counter-drone and indoor positioning, to more clients and innovate faster. Together, we make a difference for the people who rely on our systems."

NCIM, VDK and Ndus3 combined

Together with Ndus3, NCIM and VDK combine their expertise in mission-critical communications, a broad security-cleared IT services portfolio and specialist engineering into a single offering for organizations in government, the defence and security market and critical infrastructure. Ndus3 develops and tests embedded software and hardware. As a result, the offering covers the entire chain: from advice and architecture through development, integration and testing to implementation and management. Clients have a single point of contact for reliable communication and network systems and for innovations such as counter-drone and indoor positioning. Together, the partners deliver solutions that work when it really matters: faster, more complete and future-proof.
