Alistar, a European full-service technology partner and specialist in business applications, data, AI, and ICT, is bolstering its growth ambitions with two strategic expansions. The company is entering into a partnership with Riviq, an expert in data science and AI, and is also acquiring XTRM Development, a leading Microsoft 365 service provider with strong expertise in digital workplaces and Microsoft Copilot.
With these two acquisitions, Alistar has grown to more than 830 employees in Belgium, the Netherlands, and France, and generates annual revenue of more than 144 million euros.
Riviq: Expanding Capabilities in AI, Data Science, and BI
Riviq helps organizations turn their data into valuable insights and future-oriented opportunities. The team of data scientists supports companies with strategic advice, data science, and AI innovation.
To systematically integrate AI into business processes, you need data experts who truly understand the business. That’s something we have in common with Riviq. We share the same vision of entrepreneurship, quality, and customer focus.
Jan Hofman, CEO of Alistar
”We are a certified Microsoft Solution Partner for Data & AI and a Cloud Solution Provider (CSP), which allows us to deliver comprehensive data and AI solutions as a managed service,” adds Robert Mansour, managing partner at Riviq. “The collaboration with our colleagues at Alistar will strengthen our Microsoft consulting services, enable 24/7 secure management, and deliver added value to our clients.”
XTRM Development: Specialists in Microsoft 365 and Smart Workplaces
XTRM Development has built a strong reputation among organizations that want to make their digital workplace smarter by Microsoft 365, Copilot and digital transformation.
“With XTRM Development, we’re bringing a team on board that is exceptionally strong technically. Together, we’ll create even greater depth and build a future in which people, data, and technology drive growth,” said Jan Hofman.
Matthijs Veenendaal of XTRM Development adds: “From our very first conversation, we felt a clear cultural fit. By combining our expertise, we can provide even better guidance to clients as they undergo their digital transformations.”
Thanks to these two new members, Alistar can help more organizations reach the level of a ‘Frontier Firm’: companies where AI is no longer an experiment, but an integral part of processes and decision-making.
