About Us

You might remember us as Outsourcing Hub—the name under which our CEO & Founder, Henk Pater, started the company back in 2014. However, as the Hub grew and evolved beyond IT outsourcing alone, the name Outsourcing Hub no longer fit our vision. That’s why, in 2020, we transitioned to iSourcing Hub.

Culture

At iSourcing Hub, everything revolves around innovation, entrepreneurship, and freedom. We’re a small, close-knit team where everyone plays a vital role in achieving our shared mission: transforming the IT procurement landscape. Individual contributions matter here—your ideas and initiatives are welcomed and truly valued. Everyone has the opportunity to make a difference, which makes our work not only impactful but also inspiring.

We believe in maintaining a healthy balance between work and life. That’s why we embrace a flexible work culture where remote working is second nature. Whether you choose to work from our office in Schiphol-Rijk, from home, or even from the other side of the world—like Indonesia—the choice is yours. What matters most is that you deliver results and take responsibility for your work.

As a small and entrepreneurial team, we don’t operate within rigid boundaries. Creativity, ownership, and collaboration are essential to achieving success together. At iSourcing Hub, you’re not only contributing to an innovative platform but also helping to shape a culture built on trust, flexibility, and innovation.

Team

What can you do with iSourcing Hub?

Imagine you’re working on an IT-related challenge—whether it’s 3D printing, software development, or XLA. Maybe it’s cloud, DevOps, CO2-neutral data centers, Internet of Things… you name it.

• You can ask any question that comes to mind.
• You can access a library of smart, pre-made questions submitted by other users.
• You can send your questions to all suppliers on the Hub or invite non-registered suppliers to respond.
• For questions that have been previously answered by suppliers in the library, the system can calculate in real-time if there’s a match.

The more questions asked, stored, and answered—and the more suppliers invited—the better the Hub works for everyone. It’s like an open data system that rewards collaboration, constantly improving with every new search.

That’s the idea behind iSourcing Hub. It all started with Outsourcing Hub, a platform designed for more traditional outsourcing challenges. From there, we expanded into what is now iSourcing Hub—a system built to dive deep into emerging technologies and specialized niches, addressing needs on both the demand and supply sides.

All things tech!

The “i” in iSourcing Hub represents everything related to IT, tech, and BPO. With iSourcing Hub, you can search and match suppliers across countless topics (check out our list of themes). Don’t see your specific topic in the system? No problem—easily add a new theme yourself!

Our system doesn’t just help you craft the right questions; it also identifies the best suppliers to answer them. Every user can contribute by sharing smart questions and inviting new suppliers to join. Say goodbye to endless desk research, irrelevant longlists, ineffective market studies, and time-consuming RFI processes. iSourcing Hub streamlines the entire procurement journey, saving time and costs while improving outcomes for both buyers and suppliers.
