The Netherlands is home to numerous small and medium-sized companies that produce software for various applications, both closed source and open source. Some organizations, such as TomTom, have even grown into global players. Additionally, there are companies that provide services related to the use of this software, even if they do not produce software themselves.
Currently, there is insufficient insight into the economic strength of these activities, in terms of employment, revenue, and exports. Dialogic is collaborating with ICT~Office, the industry association of the Dutch ICT sector, to investigate the composition, size, and economic significance of the software sector in the Netherlands.
Through this research, ICT~Office aims to better understand the importance of the software sector for the Dutch economy. The study will explore whether companies generate their entire revenue from software development or from offering services related to the development or deployment of software (such as implementation, maintenance, or advertising services).
