Modern Workplace – Affordable, Safe & Smart
Many Dutch entrepreneurs think that professional IT solutions are always expensive. But anno 2025, this is no longer true. With smart technology, scalable services and certified security, even SMEs can benefit from enterprise-grade IT – without unnecessary costs.
At ALTA-ICT B.V., we demonstrate daily that quality, security and transparency go perfectly well with affordability. That’s why we developed three packages – Standard, Premium and Platinum – so that you never pay too much for features you don’t use.
In this blog, we explain exactly what a modern workplace means, how to implement it in the Netherlands, which mistakes to avoid, and how ALTA-ICT helps you with ISO27001, ISO9001 and NEN7510-certified solutions.
What is a modern workplace?
A modern workplace combines cloud, security and support in one integrated package. Consider:
-
Monitoring & update management: always up-to-date and secure.
-
Backup for Microsoft 365: no more data loss.
-
E-mail security and antivirus: protection against phishing and malware.
For Dutch companies, this is extra important because of:
-
AVG/GDPR compliance (Personal Data Authority, 72-hour data breach notification requirement).
-
NEN7510 for healthcare institutions.
-
BIO for government organizations.
In short, the modern workplace is the digital foundation that ensures both productivity and compliance.
