An outline of HSO's work in achieving the multiple nominations are below:




Field Service: Data-driven working based on IoT and predictive maintenance BAM Building & Construction, the largest construction company in the Netherlands, won the contract for maintenance of the existing infrastructure at Schiphol Airport in 2018. In order to optimise and streamline the maintenance of more than 17,000 assets at the Schiphol terminals, HSO implemented Microsoft Field Service at BAM, which enables data-driven working based on IoT technology and predictive maintenance.

Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations: Standardising processes and eliminating customization with Process Mining HSO is the largest Dynamics 365 F&O Partner worldwide, with a growth of 250% in Dynamics 365 cloud software between 2016 and 2018. The HSO entry highlighted the added value of using advanced modelling tools when implementing or upgrading an ERP solution, in order to make Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations projects as efficient as possible. This way HSO ensures best practice implementations and minimises customisation.

Retail: Retailers make the transition to a future-proof cloud platform For 27 years, HSO have been helping retail organisations with process optimisation and transformation. Over the past year, the complete cloud migration of Godiva; the supply chain, Azure and Power BI solution for Rituals; and the retail implementation for fashion chain Joules, stood out particularly in this sector. Thanks to these striking and innovative customer cases, HSO became a finalist in the Retail category.
