System administration on the Volkerak

System administration in Steenbergen, from field and greenhouse to office

Around Steenbergen, sugar beet, potatoes and crops under glass grow side by side, surrounded by businesses that turn them into great products. That agrifood sector runs more and more on software and data. We manage the IT behind it, so you can focus on your crops and your customers.

At a glance

Solid system administration for a municipality with six villages

System administration means someone looks after your whole IT environment: servers, network, backup and recovery, security, updates, monitoring, cloud and supplier agreements. Here, the typical business is a family firm, a farm or an agrifood supplier looking for a reliable partner without building an IT department. Infodatek Group has done this work since 2007 for organisations across the Benelux. From Terneuzen we work in Zeeland and West Brabant every day, and Steenbergen sits neatly in between.

  • IT that works reliably in the countryside too
  • Maintenance planned outside the harvest and other busy weeks
  • Backup of your accounts, growing data and settings
  • For growers: greenhouse and shed in the same overview with Digital Care Agro

System administration

What we manage for you in Steenbergen

Whether you run an agricultural contracting business on the edge of Kruisland or a processing plant on the Reinierpolder, your business rests on an IT environment that has to work every day: the server or cloud with your accounts and planning, the network between office and shed, the firewall and the backups. We take over that management and keep it up to date.

Your data can live in ANYBASE, our private cloud in a data centre in the European Union. If you want management and security in one agreement at a fixed price per employee, Managed Operations in Digital Care is the natural fit.

  • Servers and cloud, with your accounts and business software
  • Network and wifi between office, shed and greenhouse
  • A second internet connection as a standby, where sensible
  • Backup of your data, with restore tests we show you
  • Updates and security on a fixed schedule
  • Contact with your software, internet and cultivation suppliers

Agrifood

System administration for agrifood around Steenbergen and Dinteloord

Near Dinteloord lies the Agro & Food Cluster Nieuw Prinsenland, with modern greenhouse horticulture and companies that process farm produce or turn it into biobased raw materials. Around it work arable farmers, agricultural contractors, traders and hauliers. They rely more and more on software: for their accounts, for traceability towards buyers, for planning and for data from machines and sensors.

We make sure those systems work well together and stay secure. For growers we go a step further with Digital Care Agro, our own platform for horticulture. We then also monitor the technology in greenhouse and shed, such as the climate computers, and manage the process network: separate from the office network, yet in the same overview. Our team includes agri specialists who know the practice.

Seasons

Maintenance that respects the harvest and busy periods

In agrifood and trade, the year has its peaks. During the harvest or a busy delivery period, you do not want maintenance that briefly takes your systems offline. So we agree an annual calendar together: which weeks we carry out updates and larger changes, and which weeks we only keep watch. So the work lands in quiet moments.

If temporary staff join during the season, we make sure your environment can handle it, and tidy up afterwards. Monitoring keeps watch in the meantime, so we can adjust early if something looks off.

Sectors

Where our system administration fits well here

A strong agricultural base, plus processing, logistics along the A4 and SMEs in the villages.

Greenhouse horticulture

Growers near Dinteloord and elsewhere in the municipality. With Digital Care Agro we manage the office and also monitor climate computers, energy systems and cameras, with maintenance inside your growing windows.

Arable farming and contracting

Farmers and agricultural contractors in the polders, with records full of fields, software on the tractor and an office next to the shed. We provide a secure foundation under that software and a backup of your data.

Processing and biobased

Companies that process farm produce or turn it into new raw materials. We manage the servers behind production, quality and traceability, and give the plant and the office each their own secure network.

Transport and storage

Hauliers and storage firms that make good use of the A4 towards Rotterdam and Antwerp. We provide a reliable environment for planning and administration, with secure access for planners on the move.

SMEs in the villages

Builders, installers, shops and service providers in Welberg, Kruisland, Nieuw-Vossemeer and the town itself. We keep it simple: a well-managed server or cloud, secure wifi and a nightly backup.

Service area

System administration in Steenbergen and every village in the municipality

Steenbergen is an old fortified town on the Steenbergsche Vliet, with the tall tower of the Gummaruskerk as its landmark. The municipality has six villages: Steenbergen, Welberg, De Heen, Dinteloord, Kruisland and Nieuw-Vossemeer. Around them lie polders, the water of the Volkerak with its marinas and the greenhouses near Dinteloord.

Since the A4 opened past the town, Rotterdam, Bergen op Zoom and Zeeland feel a lot closer. From our head office in Terneuzen we drive through the Westerschelde Tunnel and along the A58 to Bergen op Zoom, then up the A4 to Steenbergen. Most management happens remotely. For a new server, the network in a new shed or an introduction at the kitchen table, we come by.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about system administration in Steenbergen

We are growers near Dinteloord. Do you also manage our climate computer?

We monitor it with Digital Care Agro, together with the other technology in greenhouse and shed, such as energy systems, sensor gateways and cameras. We manage the process network, separate from the office but in one overview, with maintenance inside your growing windows. Managing the climate computer itself is possible in consultation with the supplier. In case of a fault, we call in the supplier, and for critical cultivation faults we do so outside office hours too.

Our business is out in the countryside. How do you ensure a good connection?

First we check which connections are available at your address and what your business needs. Where sensible, we add a second connection as a standby, so you can carry on when work is being done on one line. Our monitoring watches both lines, and we handle contact with the provider.

Can you take our busy harvest weeks into account?

Certainly. At the start, we draw up a calendar of the weeks when you want no maintenance, such as the harvest or a busy delivery period. We plan larger updates outside those weeks. During the busy weeks, monitoring keeps watch and we only step in when needed, always after checking with you.

Does NIS2 apply to our agrifood business?

That depends on what you do and how large you are. NIS2 can apply to medium-sized and large companies in the food chain, and buyers can pass requirements on to their suppliers. We work it out with you and list what is already in order and what still needs attention. Smart Compliance then keeps your measures organised.

We are based in Nieuw-Vossemeer. Is that not too far for you?

Not at all. We do most of the management remotely, so your location makes little difference to the daily work. For on-site work we plan a visit, in Nieuw-Vossemeer just as easily as in De Heen or in town. From Terneuzen we work throughout Zeeland and West Brabant, and the villages on the Volkerak sit right in between.
