Founding partners

Xperit Group B.V. is an intiative of five experienced business partners.

Wim de Bruin 

The world of ICT and ERP are Wim’s fields of activity since 1985. After 15 years with multiple functions within the Baan organization, he changed towards Navision being one of the co-founders of Foqus-ICT in 1999. A solid basis of broad experience in the consultancy and software development areas enabled the small team to create a firm position in the Microsoft distribution channel. After the takeover by Watermark, Wim left the organization in 2005. Subsequently, he was involved in several successful initiatives around Microsoft Business Solutions. In his last job before the start of Xperit Group in September 2008, Wim was responsible for the Product Management of Dynamics Entrepreneur Solutions at Efficiam Services. (Unfortunately, Microsoft decided to withdraw this CSB solution from the market in the premature phase.) Within Xperit Group, Wim mainly focuses on Product Management and Business Development.
