Henk Eikelboom

Henk Eikelboom has also been living and breathing automation. As said earlier, the cooperation between Eikelboom and van Erven goes back 20 years, which truly means that they can trust each other completely. Furthermore, both gentlemen complete each other perfectly, as Henk, with his automation knowledge and perfectionism is able to lay the ground works for a lengthy cooperation between client and automation partner. Geert completes this by taking care of the commercial and creative side of the organization.

 ‘If this were a marriage, then we could safely say that, after 20 years, we are still a happily married couple. We trust each other without doubt and have put a few wonderful kids on this planet,’ Henk says with a smile. ‘Our youngest baby is called OakTree Business Suite and we are convinced that with our way of automating, the end-user is not only offered quality, but is also provided with the most user friendly software.’

FINANCIAL ADMINSTRATION

Henk too has specialized in automating financial and administrative processes. He has already developed two successful financial solutions. With OakTree Finance, a third has entered the market. ‘Financial administration is pretty basic. The complexity lies in correctly integrating several administrative processes. By developing your own financial solution and integrating it with branch solutions you provide so much more than existing software solutions. Examples are the processes within the rental branch. Using various statistics and management overviews, software suppliers try to give an overview of the rental company’s status. However, this is usually not based on financial facts. Often, companies have to rely on the numbers the solution offers. An account is not able to conclude anything and will not come to any further conclusion than those the solution already gave. This is where we saw the value of our solution,’ states Henk Eikelboom.

BANKING

Henk has been involved in complex automation issues for many years. In the nineties, Henk was responsible for automating dozens of Rabobank offices in the Netherlands. He also developed a complete solution for one of the Netherlands’ largest suppliers of mortgages. The last couple of years, Henk, together with his part Geert van Erven, worked on the development and creation of a solution for the judicial market. In part thanks to Henk, the organization was able to attain and hold the position of market leader with over 200 offices.
