How Nelissen Steenfabrieken Is Digitizing With the Support of Office-IT

Nelissen Steenfabrieken has been a well-established name in the construction industry for over 100 years. And just as their facade stones are firmly anchored, their IT approach is also grounded in a clear long-term vision. Since the 1990s, the company has relied on Office-IT’s expertise in infrastructure management, security, and strategic consulting.

Frank Aussems, IT manager at Nelissen, explains how digitization plays a crucial role in their operations today—from production to the customer experience.

From On-Premises to Hybrid IT

Nelissen Steenfabrieken is gradually transitioning to a hybrid IT environment. While business-critical applications are still running on-premises, more and more applications and data are being made available through the cloud. This combination enables employees to collaborate more smoothly, regardless of their location or device, and to respond more quickly to inquiries from customers or partners.

Thanks to the extensive automation of processes, management now has clear insights into the data. This makes it possible to make well-informed decisions, rather than relying on gut feelings.

Complete peace of mind through proactive management

To keep that digital environment up and running and secure, Nelissen Steenfabrieken relies on Office-IT for the day-to-day management of its IT infrastructure. Using tools such as NinjaOne and SentinelOne, we continuously monitor servers, networks, and endpoints. This allows us to take proactive measures before problems arise.

In addition, we meet annually with Nelissen’s IT team to discuss new technological developments. That way, we ensure that their infrastructure always remains aligned with the organization’s needs and goals.

Ready for the Future—Leveraging Technology

At Nelissen Steenfabrieken, digitization doesn’t stop at the office entrance. In production, they are actively experimenting with AI for quality control, and in terms of customer experience, they are also focusing on digital tools that help customers choose the right tile.

Looking ahead, the company plans to leverage technology even more to achieve sustainable growth: through smart factory applications, energy management, and waste reduction based on data analysis. Office-IT remains a committed partner throughout the process—from concept to implementation.
