solutions on the Microsoft platform. They combined forces by forming the joint venture
Codit Group, aiming to offer their products and services to international markets while
operating under the familiar Codit flag. The joining of forces is motivated by an
increasing demand for application integration and IoT integration solutions. The ambition
of Codit Group is to become the pan-European centre of excellence in Microsoft integration
solutions. With the opening of Codit United Kingdom, another step has been taken towards
expanding its international presence.

    In 2015, Codit and Axon Olympus achieved a combined turnover of EUR11.3m in Belgium,
the Netherlands, France and Portugal. The group employs about 100 people. Its customers
include AG Insurance, Joules, Sally Beauty, G4S, BAM Groep, Boss Paints, DS Smith, DTEK,

    Largest market for integration and Microsoft BizTalk in Europe is in the United
Kingdom
Commercial Director and Country Manager Tim Lewis brings over 23 years of experience
managing OEM and strategic client engagements for international software manufacturers,
with a further 3 years running a UK integration business unit. He has been responsible for
P&L in multiple businesses and has successfully established new products and opened new
markets. 'I have developed solution based consulting opportunities around the Microsoft
stack, including BizTalk Server and Azure (both on premises and hybrid solutions) and
associated complimentary products as adopted by client base. I am very pleased to join the
Codit Group and to offer our products and services to organisations in the UK. The country
is known to be the largest market for integration and Microsoft BizTalk in Europe; here we
will offer local presence and expertise, while enjoying the support and services of the
larger international organisation,' says Tim.

    Technical Director Iain Quick, a technology solution architect, joins Codit with over
20 years of commercial consulting experience, developing and delivering custom
applications and infrastructures based on Microsoft Azure, BizTalk Server, SharePoint and
SQL platforms. Iain says: 'I have led technical presales bids and commercial software
development teams in both technical and project capacities. I am excited to leverage this
experience in this new challenging environment and grow the Codit UK business together
with Tim.'

    Stijn Degrieck, Director at Codit Group, says: 'Our goal was to have organisations
established in multiple countries by the end of 2016, all of which are actually working on
projects in their respective markets. We will help the countries expand their local Codit
organisation. In this way, Codit Group is set to meet the growing international demand for
specialised knowledge and experience. With the establishment of Codit United Kingdom, the
largest market for integration and Microsoft BizTalk in Europe, we have made another
important step in reaching our goal, and this only a few weeks after opening Codit
Switzerland.'
