Partnering up to meet local customers’ needs
SLTN is an IT company based in Hilversum, the Netherlands. Founded in 1997, the company has grown from strength to strength, posting an annual turnover of more than €175 million in the latest fiscal year. SLTN engages a of total 500+ employees across its three divisions of IT products, services and consulting as well as a further 100 local subcontractors for specialised skills and projects.
SLTN’s customer and partner base comprises corporates and large enterprises. One of these partners is the American multinational Dell Technologies – a household name in computer technology. SLTN’s relationship with Dell Technologies began in 2007. The partnership now accounts for around 40% of SLTN’s IT product division revenues, while around 200 staff and up to 40 contractors work on Dell Technologies projects.
As a multinational US corporation, Dell Technologies leans on local expertise of its suppliers to help it better serve local customers’ needs. One such example is the provision of private cloud services. More and more customers in Europe are keen to move to cloud-based services but, concerned to retain control of their data, also seek alternatives to public cloud services as part of a multi-cloud strategy. Such cases highlight the full value of SLTN’s partnership with Dell. Using Dell Technologies hardware and software, SLTN is able to furnish private cloud solutions to local customers, enabling them to comply with local data protection rules, among other advantages.
Working with Dell Technologies for over a decade has proved to be very fruitful for SLTN as one of the Netherlands’ largest unlisted companies, allowing them to reinforce their brand reputation and to expand their reach in the Dutch market. At the same time, the partnership enabled Dell Technologies to provide end-to-end solutions and to better address the needs of their Dutch business customers.

An effective, competitive and quality-driven Public Procurement Directive
The revision of the Public Procurement Directive (PPD) is a critical opportunity to unlock the full value of public procurement for European competitiveness and resilience. A simpler, more consistent and quality-driven framework would strengthen market access, attract a wider range of bidders and enable public buyers to select best-in-class solutions.
The revision should prioritise practical ‘how to buy’ reforms, including digitalisation, standardised templates and reusable documentation, to reduce administrative burdens and increase participation. In parallel, ‘what to buy’ reforms should focus on transparent and verifiable criteria that reward performance, security and life-cycle value while avoiding unnecessary complexity that risks reducing competition.
Learn how, if designed effectively, the PPD can support innovation, resilience and better outcomes for public buyers across the EU.
