Partnering up to meet local customers’ needs

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.

Recalibrating the EU ETS: delivering decarbonisation without deindustrialisation

Europe’s carbon market must cut emissions without cutting industrial production. In some industries, emissions have fallen alongside output and plant closures. The EU ETS revision should ensure that progress towards 2050 comes from investment and technology, not deindustrialisation. 

The Linear Reduction Factor should be adjusted after 2030 so allowances remain available through 2050. ETS revenues should support decarbonisation projects, while free allocation should continue where alternatives are not available at scale. 

For aviation and maritime transport, EU rules should align with international frameworks. Data centres should be removed from the scope where emissions come mainly from backup generators. These changes would link emissions reductions to investment while limiting the relocation of production outside Europe.
