History
Ordina has been active in the Netherlands since 1973. First as a subsidiary of the French-based Ordina. From our name, our French roots can be deducted. The name was derived from the French word for computer: ordinateur. In 1983 SG2, a subsidiary of Société Génerale, acquired Ordina from the French holding company.
Stock Exchange listing
After a management buy-out, the Dutch activities were autonomised in 1985. In 1987 Ordina was listed on the stock exchange. The strategy since then has focussed on:
- quality above quantity
- investment in innovation
- making strategic choices
Going from small to large
It has paid off. Since the listing in 1987, growth in the number of employees as well as revenue has constantly shown a steep upward curve. The active acquisition policy has resulted in Ordina’s growth from a small systems provider employing 77 people to a knowledge supplier with over 4250 specialists in IT, Consulting and Outsourcing. The revenue curve has gone from 2.2 million in 1985 to 40.6 million in 1990. This progressive growth continued on to 360.3 million in 2000 and 550,3 million in 2009. Ordina is one of the largest and most influential players in the Dutch and Belgian market.
