Qurius and Getronics announce Strategic Partnership
ZALTBOMMEL/ZOETERMEER – 8 October 2010 – Qurius and Getronics have joined forces to deliver Best in Class Microsoft Dynamics based Application Solutions, operated on the Getronics hybrid cloud infrastructure. This cooperation ensures customers integrated, reliable and agile end-to-end solutions with a single point of contact. With this offering Qurius and Getronics (a KPN subsidiary) open a new market segment for mid-sized users of Microsoft Dynamics business solutions. As the Getronics hosting infrastructure ranks highest in green ICT-solutions in the Netherlands, customers receive a 100% sustainable solution, which supports Getronics’ and Qurius’ mission.
Qurius is specialized in delivering industry specific, Microsoft Dynamics based ERP solutions. Getronics is market leader in infrastructure services in the Netherlands with a strong focus on sustainable New Way of Working offerings. Qurius and Getronics see a clear trend towards companies moving infrastructure from on premise to external. This enables organizations to focus on optimizing their core business processes and at the same time to benefit from flexible, high available and secure off premise hosted infrastructure solutions. In this set up customers only pay for the use of the solution, which has a positive effect on the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of the software and infrastructure.

Together, Qurius and Getronics deliver a very strong solution of Microsoft Dynamics based software hosted in a top quality, green environment. With Dynamics Cloud Services a sustainable, value adding proposition becomes within reach of our customers.”
