ilionx

Founded in 2002, ilionx is a Dutch IT services company of around nine hundred people that combines consulting with implementation. Its aim, as its site puts it, is to make complicated IT simple for its clients, whether that means choosing among new technologies, putting them into an organisation safely, or changing the way the organisation works around them.

Architecture, applications and data

The company's knowledge covers architecture, application development, security, data and AI, and organisational change. Its teams work from the Netherlands in multidisciplinary groups, bringing together technology, legal and management expertise for the challenge at hand. Its work includes building applications, analytics and artificial intelligence projects, as well as cloud and mobile solutions.

Security from an in-house operations centre

Security services are run from an in-house security operations centre. The company says these services help clients understand their vulnerabilities and risks more clearly and then improve their digital safety. Managed services take over the day-to-day running of IT systems for clients who prefer to hand that work over.

Public sector and healthcare programmes

The projects described on the site include a rapid launch of a temporary employment support scheme for the Dutch employee insurance agency, which ilionx says it delivered with a systems partner in six weeks, using a single shared tool across the agency. Other case examples include an integration project for the national rail infrastructure manager, an integration platform for a hospital group built on Azure, an automation project for a company that uses robotic process automation, and a project that used AI to lift customer satisfaction and efficiency at an insurer.

Advice, change and adoption of AI

Consultancy on processes and change management sits alongside the technology. The company says it prefers to work with its clients rather than for them, and it presents its partnership model as one of close working. It has also announced a collaboration with Noma to support the safe adoption of AI agents inside organisations.

Scale and branches

Its branches are spread across the country. It says that local presence lets it support organisations close to home while drawing on expertise from across the firm. The merger with QNH Consulting in 2018 brought together two firms with complementary skills.
