Where our story began

01 / THE GROUP

Our own direction.
Our shared strength.
With noaberschop.

Good technology starts with the freedom to make the right choices.

i² group B.V. is the holding company behind a close-knit group of businesses in data centres, connectivity, hosting and software. Each brings its own expertise. Together, we have the knowledge and infrastructure to go further.

We are 100% Dutch and held by a single owner. We have no external investors or external loans: funding comes from within the group. This gives us the freedom to invest for the long term and set our own direction.

Noaberschop is part of who we are. This Twente tradition means looking out for each other, sharing knowledge and helping each other move forward. Within our group and in the way we work with our clients.

Direct communication Long-term thinking Our own choices

Built on trust.

Information security embedded throughout our group.

InterDC colleagues celebrating together Great with technology. Great together.

03 / OUR PEOPLE

Serious about IT.
And enjoying our work.

The best solutions come from people who enjoy working together. Our software developers, hardware specialists and network experts share the same curiosity about technology.

We help each other, share ideas and celebrate what we achieve together. There is always room for a good idea, a laugh and drinks on a Friday afternoon.

Could you be one of us?

SHARING KNOWLEDGE. GROWING TOGETHER.

Different areas of expertise.
The same commitment.

From a technical challenge for a customer to the next step in our own network: we tackle it together.
