Technology should help people do their job better.

SVaaS is a technology consultancy based in Aalbeke, near Kortrijk in Belgium. We design, build and modernize software for organizations, teams and individuals alike.

Some of the things we upgrade:

  • an Excel filean application
  • an outdated frameworka current one
  • a report made by handa report that makes itself
  • MSMQAzure Service Bus
  • a folder on the serverAzure Blob Storage
  • two systems that never talkone integration

Engagements run from a personal project to a sector-wide platform. All of them are equally welcome.

  1. A tool for one person or one team
  2. An application for a department or a company
  3. A platform an entire sector runs on

Three questions people bring to us

Sometimes the answer is a project that runs for years. Sometimes it is an afternoon's work. The starting point is the same: what does this solve for the people who use it?

  • A platform that needs to keep up

    Existing software that does important work but is held back by outdated technology, slow releases or new regulation. We modernize it step by step while the business keeps running.

  • Work that is still done by hand

    Spreadsheets travelling from inbox to inbox, data typed in twice, a report someone assembles manually every Monday. That is what we build practical tools for.

  • A problem nobody can crack

    An integration that keeps failing, performance that drops for no clear reason, a choice between two approaches. We dig in, find the cause and explain what it takes to fix it.

What we do

Eight areas, one way of working: understand the problem first, then decide what to build.

Organizations we have worked with

Over twenty-five years we have built software for government bodies, industry, energy, HR services and manufacturers, including:

  • Wonen in Vlaanderen
  • Danone
  • Total Belgium
  • ArcelorMittal
  • Partena Professional
  • Digipolis
  • Stad Gent
  • Securex
  • Acerta
  • Eandis
  • Johnson & Johnson
  • Electrabel

A large part of this experience was built up before SVaaS was founded in 2021. See clients and experience

How we work

No methodology for its own sake. Four things that come back in every engagement, whether it runs three days or three years.

  • The solution fits your situation

    Not the newest technology, but the technology your team can maintain. A sector-wide platform needs something different from a tool for five people — and that is exactly the point.

  • Explained without jargon

    You get an answer you can pass on to whoever makes the decision, even when the underlying problem is technically complex.

  • We do the work ourselves

    Whoever draws the architecture also writes code and does the analysis. That keeps plans realistic and follow-up short.

  • Built to last for years

    We think about whoever maintains the system five years from now. Tests, documentation and handover are part of the work, not an afterthought.

Who is behind SVaaS

SVaaS was founded in 2021 by Sven Maes and brings architecture, development, consulting and problem solving together in one point of contact. On larger projects we work inside the client's team; for smaller questions, a short line to one person is usually faster.
