Tech Tribes acquires an interest in Open Source expert, Kangaroot
Tech Tribes is pleased to announce the acquisition of an interest in Kangaroot.
Tech Tribes is, for us, a home of digital experts. More concretely, the cluster of IT firms built around Axxes, Euricom and HCS. Each with their own expertise and culture but bound by a shared vision and values. The bundling of commercial and operational forces is a strong win within the collaboration, but the greatest added value lies in the cross-pollination of technological know-how and experience. Our clients' complex digital challenges require cross-technology teams that can respond quickly.
Today, we are working with 700 digital experts on the digital transformation for clients in Belgium and the Netherlands. We develop innovative solutions, provide advice and supervise transformations. We help our clients with IT strategy, software engineering and their hybrid platforms.
From Axxes, Euricom and HCS Company, a growing collaboration has been created which has strongly manifested in more added value. Today, Tech Tribes is proud to announce that we are welcoming a new tribe to our home of digital experts.
Kangaroot, with decades of expertise in Open Source and Linux solutions, will join our group. Kangaroot has been the specialist in Linux and Open Source solutions since the year 2000. Based in Antwerp, 20 consultants work on Open Source projects for customers like Brussels Airport Company, TVH, Bank Delen and Jan De Nul.
Peter Dens
Managing Partner Kangaroot
After the sale of our data centre activities in 2021, it was a logical step to rethink our shareholdership within the organisation. In doing so, we listed a few parameters that served as guidelines in our quest for a new partner: a local party, that already had an affinity for Open Source and respect for the existing culture, were the most important elements. And we found that and much more at Tech Tribes. The fact that we can now accelerate our plans for growth within our group is the cherry on the cake.
Benjamin Goesaert
Managing Partner Tech Tribes
The connecting factor of the group is the fact that we want to optimally serve our clients in their need for technological expertise. Every company that operates within Tech Tribes does so with a specific know-how and experience, but also with a strong people-oriented company culture. A DNA in which consultants are supervised and their professional growth is stimulated. Through Tech Tribes, it will be possible to expand our offering of technological expertise to our clients.
