Willem Vermeend commissioner at Internet company Jitscale

Jitscale, an international outsourcing partner for business-critical IT infrastructures, with establishments in the Netherlands and the United States, appointed the Dutch Internet entrepreneur Willem Vermeend, former Minister of Social Affairs and former State Secretary of Finance, as its commissioner.

Jitscale is a Dutch IT company, which is specialized in cloud computing, a market rapidly growing worldwide. Companies which possess the most advanced IT and Internet applications, more and more often opt not to purchase these applications themselves anymore. It has become a trend to make use of specialized companies, such as Jitscale, which offer customized ‘Internet clouds’, including computer networks, servers, storage, applications and Internet services. By switching to cloud computing companies can moderate their IT and Internet expenses. Apart from that, they will have access to the most advanced technology and applications. This way, they can profit from the best technical means available, as innovations in the field of Internet rapidly succeed one another.

Vermeend: “The Netherlands is one of the top Internet countries in the world. This position has also been acquired thanks to innovative companies, set up by young, ambitious entrepreneurs from the Internet generation. Jitscale is one of those companies and has a great potential to play a key role in the market of cloud computing worldwide. I consider my appointment as commissioner an excellent opportunity to contribute to the worldwide expansion of this company.”

Eelco van Beek, CEO of Jitscale: “Jitscale is currently encountering an important period of growth. Our team and our technology enable companies to manage large-scaled and complex platforms both nationally and internationally. By making smart use of the possibilities of cloud computing we obtained a significant advantage in the market, which translates into stability, security and savings for our customers. We believe that experienced managers and advisors with international status fit this growth. Hence we intend to fully make use of the knowledge, experience and creativity of Willem Vermeend.”
