Technology moves to the head of the table
Alistar sees a clear shift in the market. Organisations that invest today in integrating all their IT and software are building the data platforms they will need tomorrow. Technology is no longer merely supportive, it now shapes business strategy. By 2026, the collaboration between humans and technology will be a decisive factor for growth.
“Technology shouldn’t just execute tasks, it should help drive decisions. True progress happens only when it becomes a full-fledged team member. Those who understand this today are building the growth engine of tomorrow.”
– Jan Hofman, CEO Alistar
“When I look at organisations, I see a clear difference between companies that continue to work with isolated tools and fragmented data, and those that treat their IT partner as a strategic team member: a partner that accelerates decisions, mitigates risks, and enables growth. The latter consistently grows faster, and that’s no coincidence.”
The future of IT is defined by connection
The IT landscape in 2026 revolves around connecting people, data, and technology. This is the very foundation of Alistar. By uniting people, data, and technology, we make growth possible has become a practical guide for how we support our clients.
Alistar was founded by entrepreneurs who wanted technology closer to its users. With more than 750 specialists in ERP, CRM, Cloud, Cybersecurity, AI, Data & BI, e-commerce, and low-code, we intentionally offer breadth: organisations want progress, not debates about tools.
From complexity to business impact
Progress does not come from new buzzwords, but from decisions that make processes simpler, safer, and more practical: better data governance to unlock AI, cybersecurity to reduce risks, streamlined cloud architectures that lower costs, or automation that frees people to work more strategically. Technology should generate business impact, not add layers of complexity.
Digital resilience becomes the new competitive advantage
Recent years have exposed a weakness: many organisations are technologically vulnerable. AI-related fraud shows how unprotected processes can be. Hybrid cloud environments require governance models many companies don’t yet have. Pressure on data quality is increasing. Hardware must become circular to manage costs and environmental footprint.
Resilience thus becomes a strategic asset. And it cannot be built with a single solution. It requires an IT consultancy partner who thinks along with you, from strategy to daily IT operations.
Why entrepreneurial vision makes the difference
Our growth doesn’t come from paper mergers, but from entrepreneurs who keep applying their expertise. With a private equity partner that strengthens rather than directs, we can invest in what truly matters: teams close to clients, deep domain knowledge, and the kind of pragmatism often lost in the tech sector.
Those who use technology as a catalyst for progress towards 2026 build structural agility. Not by collecting more tools, but by strategically connecting people and technology. Our ambition remains clear: to make organisations stronger by making technology understandable, integrated and human. As partners in progress, we help build companies prepared for the future and daring enough to choose impact.
An IT landscape that becomes less forgiving
Technological choices carry more weight than ever. AI accelerates and disrupts, cloud environments become more complex, data architectures more critical, and new interfaces like spatial computing shift decision-making directly to the workplace. The question is not which technology is “hot”, but which technology makes organisations operationally stronger, more agile, and more resilient.
