The Dutch company is Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) with a track record of >25 years, active employee >75.

The Dutch company minimizes known risks and proactively counter future risks with market leading technologies. Their clients benefit from a high level of expertise in IT security and an extensive range of products and services
With more and more online subscriptions and licenses it is hard to stay on top of expiration dates and values of the contracts. Further it is harder for finance to check if invoices match the contracts. The company has been researching tools and applications on the market to solve our challenge, but unfortunately, they can’t find a matching solution. The solution the company like to develop is a mix of contract management and license management. That fits small businesses and mid-sized companies. There are large enterprise solutions that come with large enterprise prices. Since we are an SME (Small / Midsize Enterprise) player and our customers too that doesn’t fit. There is no specific legislation or standard that needs to be met!

They are looking for companies who are able to help them to define the functional outlines and set a basis for the application development.

Partnership will be framed in research and development cooperation agreement. When fits the purpose also other agreements can be envisioned.
