Expertise in Identity & Access Management

14 January 2008 - Following the continued success of its UK, German and North American operations, Oxford Computer Group (OCG) today announced the opening of its new offices in Amersfoort, the Netherlands and from there serving Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg (BeNeLux). This action is part of OCG's continued development and expansion into the European market.

Based in Amersfoort, the new operation will be led by Rinaldo de Craen, a seasoned IT and business professional from the region, who has particular expertise in identity and access management, public key infrastructure and security. OCG's expansion into BeNeLux reflects mainland Europe's increasing demand for expertise in the implementation of identity and access management solutions. The new operation will enable OCG to provide local support to existing clients in the BeNeLux region, and provide opportunities for the company to expand its customer base and respond to the increasing market demand for identity & access management solutions across BeNeLux.

Rinaldo de Craen's role will include recruiting experienced identity and access management consultants and architects. The new operation promises to offer individuals an opportunity to work directly with global clients and to develop their skills in a focused and demanding environment.

Rinaldo de Craen, Director of Oxford Computer Group BeNeLux comments, "OCG already enjoys an unsurpassed reputation as a world class identity and access management consultancy. I am looking forward to building relationships with OCG's existing clients and partners, and to further develop the company's global resources, skills, processes and tools, as well as taking OCG's unique identity and access management expertise and experience to new areas".

Rinaldo will also be responsible for developing OCG's business in the region and to further enhance the company's reputation as globally acknowledged experts in the implementation of Microsoft Identity & Access technologies, including Microsoft Identity Integration Server (MIIS) 2003 and Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Manager (ILM) 2007. OCG is a Microsoft Gold Partner and last year was a finalist in the Microsoft Partner of the Year Award in Advanced Infrastructure Solutions, Active Directory and Identity Management. Hugh Simpson-Wells, CEO of Oxford Computer Group Worldwide comments, "We are very excited about this new venture, we have a great team in place who are already working closely with Microsoft, and we are looking forward to replicating our success in this market."

Oxford Computer Group (OCG) is an IT services company who specialize in Identity and Access Management. With operations in North America and Europe (UK, BeNeLux and Germany), Oxford has an enviable repository of MIIS 2003 and ILM 2007 expertise and knowledge. Services include: strategic and functional consulting; system integration; solution development; and skill development.
