New branch office in Brussels ensures excellent support for existing Belgian customers and empowers further growth
Munich – November 30, 2022 – iC Consult Group, the world’s leading managed services and consulting company in the field of Identity & Access Management (IAM), is driving its European expansion: With the launch of iC Consult Belgium, the consulting company is enhancing its support capabilities for existing Belgian customers and setting the course for further growth in Western Europe.
The Belgian subsidiary will be managed by Chris Patrick, the long-standing CEO of iC Consult UK, who has been coordinating the Belgian business from the U.K. so far. In his additional new role as the CEO of iC Consult Belgium, he will lead the expansion of the local team, the management of local projects and the nearshore development in Belgium.
Dr. Christian Emig, Chief Operating Officer at iC Consult, explains: “As part of our global growth strategy, we are currently evaluating several exciting European and non-European regions that could become relevant to us – be it as sales markets or as development locations. Belgium has impressed us in both areas: with its dynamic and rapidly growing IAM market, but also with its considerable pool of excellent developer, consulting and security talent that could significantly strengthen iC Consult’s team. The decision to make a long-term commitment here was an easy one for us.”
Chris Patrick, CEO of iC Consult UK, adds: “Belgium is a very relevant European economic market, with a strong focus on regulated high-tech industries such as automotive and fintech. In both of these verticals, iC Consult has many years of experience, convincing use cases and renowned reference customers in the region. With our new location and our strong global Managed Service Portfolio, we are in an excellent position to support Belgian customers’ IAM projects. We are very excited to hit the ground running with a local team of experts.”
Dr. Heiko Klarl, Chief Marketing and Sales Officer at iC Consult, adds: “IAM Managed Services are a simple, secure and affordable option for companies trying to take their identity management to a new level. Our broad unified solution portfolio allows us to address all customer and partner requirements: It helps us to relieve internal teams of time- and know-how-intensive identity management tasks and to automate the onboarding of new applications – and thus grants inhouse experts the freedom to drive exciting innovation projects.”
