have helped transform a wide range of public
and private-sector services in the fields of
healthcare, governmental administration,
and transport. Netcompany has introduced
a common free govtech framework for
governments to share knowledge and
technology. Two years ago, Netcompany
launched Smarter Airports in partnership
with Copenhagen Airport to develop a unified
digital data-driven airport platform for what
is the largest airport in Scandinavia. This
solution is expected to see more airports
become greener and more efficient, while
improving passenger experience and
convenience.
Hot on the heels of its track-and-trace and
COVID pass initiative, Netcompany was
recently commissioned to develop a new
digital voting platform for use in Denmark’s
local, national and EU elections. This appeals
to Rogaczewski’s desire to create an open
transparent society, but what interests him
even more is digital technology’s potential to
transform and streamline healthcare services.
“Our experience with COVID-19 taught us
that by collecting health data and optimizing
processes in the healthcare sector, we could
really make a big difference,” he says. “In the
future I think citizens will expect much more
relevant, intelligent, and targeted welfare and
health services than today. Digitalization is
how we will succeed in doing that.”N
etcompany’s track record in
developing and running complex IT
projects for both the public and private
sectors across Northern Europe made it the
obvious choice. In the domestic market,
the company had already been responsible
for developing hundreds of society-critical
solutions for government and private
enterprises. Its track-and-trace solution and
COVID pass certificate (which shows proof
of vaccination or recent negative test result)
proved just as effective.
The projects all follow founder and CEO
André Rogaczewski’s simple insight that IT is
crucial for creating, supporting, and securing
robust welfare societies. “Some people are
worried about automation and digitalization,
but history has shown that technology actually
drives growth, prosperity and welfare for all
of us, if we want it,” says Rogaczewski. “At
Netcompany our goal is to use technology to
shape a smarter society that is centred around
ensuring better lives for everybody.”
From the outset, Rogaczewski was
determined to create a European tech
enterprise of similar stature to the giants of
Silicon Valley, and he is well on the way to
achieving that.
Following the acquisition of Luxembourg-
based Intrasoft International, a leading
European IT solutions and services group,
Netcompany now has additional innovative
platforms, a wider presence throughout
Europe, and a workforce of more than 6,500
talented employees.
The company has a presence in more than
10 countries, including several of its Nordic
neighbors, along with the Netherlands, theUK, Spain, and Greece. It has achieved
average annual growth of 20% for more than
10 years and in 2021 posted revenues of over
$530 million. This represents a 28% year-
on-year growth in sales, of which the Intrasoft
acquisition contributed 10%.THERE ARE SEVERAL MAIN
REASONS FOR NETCOMPANY’S
SUCCESS, ONE BEING
ITS CUSTOMER-CENTRIC
APPROACH.“We spend a lot of time talking to key
personnel within our client organizations
who are not directly linked to the delivery
of the IT solution itself,” says Rogaczewski.
“It’s important for us to understand how they
envisage their business evolving in a wider
context.” Its open-platform approach then
enables Netcompany to customize a solution
specifically suited to each client’s current
and future requirements, while its “agile with
control” project method ensures it completes
projects in the expected time and budget
framework without compromising quality.
Equally important is Netcompany’s
commitment to hiring the young talent that
has its finger on the pulse of technological
development. “The average age of our
employees is early 30s,” the CEO says. “We
have always hired eight out of 10 people
directly from university, and this gives us
an insight into what is going and where the
young tech brains are taking us.”
The result is Netcompany has been
instrumental in the development of several
cutting-edge, flagship European projects thatNETCOMPANY –

Denmark became one of the first countries outside Southeast Asia
to begin harnessing track-and-trace digital technology to monitor
the COVID-19 virus, which was then spreading around the world
at an alarming rate. Denmark was also one of the first countries
to launch the digital COVID pass. The authorities knew exactly
who to turn to for help: Netcompany, the 20-year-old end-to-end
IT services and solutions provider.André Rogaczewski
