Analyst ICT, Meet Bart van Elewout

January 2, 2022

Who is Bart van Elewout?

In a nutshell? I am 47, live in Eersel, am married to Marieke and have 2 daughters (Fleur 15 and Sascha aged 13). My wife is a math teacher at Pius X College, my daughters are at Rythovius College and I am an ICT-er. In my free time I like to be active; field hockey, running, skiing, biking...!

Why the choice of Analyst ICT?

I have already done a lot in ICT: from large to smaller organizations I have guided and helped them with their ICT issues.
As I got older, I wanted a better work-life balance. At Analyst ICT, I found it. Besides being a computer nerd, I am also field hockey coach Of our girls. Nice to combine this, so I have time for relaxation in addition to a nice job.

And work-wise, where is the thrill?

Building systems is still the most fun. Yesterday we delivered a project and I know that it will make our customer's work so much easier. I enjoy helping organizations move forward.
We help organizations get from A to B with logical solutions. At Analyst ICT I can invent, offer, explain and build a solution. Super fun!
That is also the nicest thing for organizations, by the way, one fixed IT supplier who takes care of everything.

Who do customers get to see when you come over?

Someone who is solution-oriented, clear and straightforward. I don't like unnecessary fuss, it's all about the result. And that has to be good, beautiful and as easy as possible.
I'm tremendously driven, that's the way I am. If I have it in my head, I don't have it in my ass. I also find personal contact with my customers important; over a cup of coffee I can chat about things other than computers....!

How do you make ICT simple?

By explaining in simple, clear language how something is put together and how we are going to make or solve it for the customer. I can go into a whole story about bits and bytes, but no one is waiting for that. Better to keep it simple then, right!

What may customers call you for?

For basically anything to do with ICT.
So people call us with questions like “Hey Bart, the WIFI isn't working” to “Our CNC milling machine is down. Is it because of the computer?”.
Ultimately, we are automating organizations so they can work smarter and faster.

What can we call you out of bed for?

Sleep is worth a lot to me, mind you! So rather not!

A golden ICT tip that makes life simpler?

Make sure you work in a well-shielded ICT environment. Everyone is running into that now.
Take advantage of a controlled IT environment. Start using MFA ( Multi Factor Authentication ) for all websites and programs you need to log in to.

Now if that doesn't work out, just call us. That's actually the best tip!!!

What are quantum computers? And why is everyone suddenly talking about them?

Chances are you've been hearing more and more about quantum computers in recent months. In the news, on LinkedIn, or perhaps even during conversations about AI and cybersecurity. Especially now that a Dutch chip developer is gaining global attention with a new generation of quantum chips, the technology suddenly seems closer than ever. But what exactly is a quantum computer? And why is so much expected of it? From Ordinary Computer to Quantum Computer To understand quantum computers, it's helpful to first look at how a normal computer works. A traditional computer — like your laptop or server — works with bits. A…

With our feet in the mud

Here we are. Not quite recognizable anymore, thanks to AI trying to protect children. Understandable, of course. But believe us: these really are Berry and Frank. More than ten years apart, but in reality, we've always been brothers from another mother. And what do we have in common? A lot... and at the same time, almost nothing. Berry is often the good cop. Calm, down-to-earth, and always working to get things done. I'm usually the bad cop. Direct, critical, and always looking for ways to improve. But that combination is precisely what works. What completely unites us, though, is our love for...
