Local presence to boost regional growth
Nieuwegein, 24 January 2013
Today Ordina officially opened its new office in Luxembourg. With this new
office, Ordina boosts its presence in the region. The new office provides plenty
of room for growth while boosting the our company's local, professional image in
the Luxembourg market.
In the 7 years of its' existence, Ordina in Luxembourg has experienced a growth
from 7 consultants in 2005 to over 40 consultants present day. "But this
personnel growth is not the only reason we have been searching for a new home in
the area", says Luxembourg Country Manager Jean Massin. "Our services in
Luxembourg have changed considerably in the past years. We moved from secondment
to management services. This means that our consultants are more often working
from our offices, instead of being on-site with our clients. Ofcourse, this move
in services calls for a suitable new location, with room for growth."
And that is exactly what the new office stands for: providing for a solid home
where Ordina can work on a sustainable future. In more ways than one. While the
offices provide plenty of room for our consultants and provide Ordina with a
seat in one of the most upstanding high tech parcs in Luxembourg, the office is
also located in a so-called 'passive building'. The building itself is
completely self-sufficient in heating and energy. Sediments on the exterior
walls, wind mills on the roof and solar panels make sure that the building does
not only require very few energy, but it actually provides energy for its
inhabitants. And thus the office helps Ordina to not only work on ICT solutions
for a sustainable, digital future, but it also works on driving down location
costs.
Jean Massin continues: "As we work on becoming a true SAP competence centre in
Luxembourg, it is also very important to be situated close to our clients and
employees. For in Luxembourg, what you know is very important, but where you are
is almost equally important. Our clients want to do business with Luxembourg
companies, who do not only have extensive knowledge of ICT and business, but are
able to combine that knowledge with in-depth knowledge of the local market. With
this move, we are able to provide our clients with the services they need,
offered by local specialists, being our Luxembourg consultants."
