Avit Wins European Tender for Network Management of the Samenwerkingsorganisatie De Wolden Hoogeveen

Earlier this year, Avit won the European tender for the supply, migration, and management of network components for the Samenwerkingsorganisatie De Wolden Hoogeveen (SWO). After a three-month tendering process, Avit emerged as the winner. Avit's provision of joint management with SWO played a crucial role in this. Avit will contribute to the digital future of the municipalities of De Wolden and Hoogeveen in the coming years.

The agreement has an initial term of three years, with the option to extend it four times by one year each. This means the contract can last up to seven years. During this period, Avit will work closely with SWO to realize a scalable and future-proof network solution.

For and With Residents

SWO is an organization that works for and with the residents and administrations of the municipalities of De Wolden and Hoogeveen. With a demand- and result-oriented approach, SWO takes into account the unique identity and culture of both municipalities. SWO's mission is to fully commit to everything that is valuable to its residents and administrators, and a reliable ICT network plays an important role in this.

Expert Management and Maintenance of the ICT Network 

The goal is to create a robust and secure ICT network for the municipalities. The chosen network solution ensures high availability and secure data communication. This requires not only the right network components but also expert management and maintenance to ensure the network functions optimally and is prepared for developments. By using Cisco Meraki technology, network management is fully integrated into SWO's multi-cloud strategy.

In addition, being able to flexibly respond to growth and change within SWO's organization is important, a quality that is essential to continue meeting the increasing demands of digital services within local government.

Value for the Region 

The renewed digital infrastructure allows municipal services to be offered more efficiently and securely. A stable and secure network enables the municipality to better serve its residents in the region.

With this win, Avit underscores its position in the local government sector. Winning this tender demonstrates that Avit not only possesses technical expertise but is also capable of delivering customized solutions that meet the needs and goals of government organizations.
