Web Integration - from dream to value

By 1999, B&W senior consultant Maurice Weijgand indicated a desire to start his own company. Having worked for many years for the ICT industry, he realised the market need for suppliers of working software solutions for databases, portals and mobile wireless access to data. So with the support of B&W partners, Maurice set up Web Integration BV. For the first few years, the company occupied the attic of the B&W offices in The Hague, bootstrapping the difficult years when cash is short and ambitions are exceeding possibilities.

Web Integration soon managed to balance between service provisioning and the development of fully owned solutions targeted at specific market niches, such as for example real estate taxation, farming or truck fleet owners. In 2005, a business line developed by Web Integration called LiveContacts was Global LBS Challenge finalist, which later on resulted in LBS leader Findwhere acquiring the LiveContacts business for an undisclosed sum. By the end of 2006 Maurice moved his company to Rotterdam, and took over all remaining shares from B&W partners. By then, Maurice had worked repeatedly for clients like Shell, KPN and the Rotterdam police department.

In May 2007, software player ITERA acquired a share in Web Integration; another proof that the company has managed to create value beyond the turnover that a service company can generate. So, if you’d like to know how Web Integration BV is doing at the moment, don’t ask us; go and have a look at www.webintegration.nl and drop a line to Maurice. Give him our warm regards!
