Are you searching for a streamlined and cost-effective method to manage user access without the intricacies of a full-scale Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) suite?

AI-Assisted COBOL Modernization: Why Understanding the System Matters More Than Rewriting It

Benny Vranckx — Tue, 23 Jun 2026 06:52:25 GMT

What Leaders Often Get Wrong About Legacy Modernization

A common assumption is that legacy modernization is primarily a technical challenge. Replace COBOL, migrate code, move to a new platform. That’s the narrative. In reality, the bigger issue is organizational memory loss.

Accelerating to Zero Emission Cloud Services by 2030

luc.greefs@cegeka.com (Luc Greefs) — Tue, 15 Jul 2025 22:00:00 GMT

Luc, the journey to zero emission cloud services boils down to five crucial steps. Can you walk us through them?

Luc Greefs (LG): Absolutely. Step one is securing 100% of our data centers’ energy from clean, self-generated sources. We’re making this happen with our own wind turbine — set to be up and running in early 2026 in Tessenderlo (BE) — plus a solar park powering us in Lommel (BE) — which will be operational at the end of 2025. Together, they will already cover all the energy our data centers consume.

Building a more responsible digital future

Emanuel Gaytant — Tue, 15 Jul 2025 22:00:00 GMT

Join us and our colleague Emanuel Gaytant, Program Manager Social Impact, as we explore how *�� is building a more responsible digital world through its green software development approach.

What is green software development?

Green software development is the practice of designing, building, and running software in a way that minimizes its environmental impact. It emphasizes energy efficiency, resource optimization, and sustainable design choices throughout the software lifecycle.

In contrast, non-green software development often overlooks energy consumption, leading to bloated applications, inefficient code, and unnecessary hardware usage- all of which contribute to higher emissions and, ultimately, environmental degradation over time.

Low code: fast, flexible software development for the future

Wouter.Verbeeck@cegeka.com (Wouter Verbeeck) — Tue, 11 Feb 2025 08:00:00 GMT

What is low code?

OutSystems, Microsoft Power Platform, Appian and Mendix are just a few of the many low code application development platforms (LCAPs) on today's market. These platforms, which are also known as Rapid Application Development Platforms (RADP's), are designed to build advanced applications with less coding. The intuitive visual drag-and-drop-tools allow both the technical expert and the less experienced user to get started. This accelerates the development process and makes customised solutions more accessible in all environments.

The Rise of AI-Infused Applications: Transforming Software Development

Muriel.Reyserhove@cegeka.com (Muriel Reyserhove) — Wed, 15 Jan 2025 08:00:00 GMT

Today, I'm joined by Koen Janssens (Global Technology Lead for Applications) and Kim Rymenants (Director Sales & Marketing Enablement Europe) to discuss AI-infused applications and the transformative shift in application development that lies ahead. We talked about:

Why chatbots are just the tip of the iceberg ...
... with AI-infused applications being the iceberg
How LLMs can change how we design software ...
... that allows non-tech users do very heavy tech lifting
And what all of this means for data-driven businesses!

Empowering Minds, Nurturing Lives: AI for a Thriving, Equitable Future

Gertie and Jan, both nexuzhealth and Smartschool handle vast amounts of data. How vast?

Gertie Delande: The nexuzhealth platform processes a staggering 650 million transactions every day. This massive volume comes from our customers and their customers: an extensive network of hospitals, care
professionals and the patients they serve. Currently, we run in over 26% of Belgian hospitals and healthcare
institutions, with over 1.4 million people using the mynexuzhealth mobiel app.

Jan Schuer: Today, Smartschool runs in more than 2000 Belgian schools, with a user count of over 2.9 million. The platform operates across more than 1,000+ servers, all in private datacenters. I once calculated that if you were to print all student record cards generated annually and string them together, they would wrap around the globe, and then some!

From Gut Feel to Data-Driven

Muriel.Reyserhove@cegeka.com (Muriel Reyserhove) — Wed, 18 Sep 2024 22:00:00 GMT

Welcome, Ken! Mobility Week is a great time to spotlight Mobilize. Can you tell us what the platform is about, in a few sentences?

Ken Casier: Of course. Imagine you're a local government official trying to improve traffic flow in a specific area. Maybe there's a big event, construction, or ongoing road work. Perhaps residents have been complaining about cut-throughs.

In the past, you would have to plan various scenarios and implement them physically, blocking roads or putting up new signs. Each scenario could take weeks or even months to test, often using manual methods like tallying data.

Mobilize changes that. In a nutshell, Mobilize allows government officials to test different traffic scenarios virtually, in a digital twin. This allows them to quickly see the impact of each scenario within minutes. Gut feel has its value, but Mobilize offers data-driven evidence to guide sustainable policy-making.

Bart, Gaetan: How do you reflect on the performance of
last year?

Bart Watteeuw: Our infrastructure division has experienced solid growth, consistently expanding year after year. And as we navigate today’s complexities of the global IT landscape, we remain committed to meeting the ever-evolving demands of our customers. To tackle these challenges head-on, we’ve strategically focused our investments on two critical fronts: refining our ‘compliant cloud’ offering and fortifying our end-to-end observability capabilities.
