HES Consultancy International Explores European Market Entry with PortableEHR for Patient-Centric Health Data Solutions

December 1, 2025 Β· Arnhem, The Netherlands

ARNHEM, THE NETHERLANDS β€” HES Consultancy International has announced it is in partnership development discussions with PortableEHR, the Canadian patient-centric health data platform, to explore market entry opportunities in the European Union with a specific focus on the Benelux and DACH regions.

PortableEHR's platform enables patients to own and control their health data with secure, consent-based sharing with healthcare providers. The solution includes secure messaging, appointment management, consent management, and EMR integration capabilities. The platform currently integrates with major North American EMR systems including OSCAR, Accuro, Med Access, PS Suite, and Medesync.

The go-to-market strategy for the Benelux and DACH regions will focus on three key pillars: alignment with the European Health Data Space (EHDS) regulatory framework, integration with existing national health information exchange infrastructure, and partnerships with regional healthcare IT vendors and system integrators.

"The European Health Data Space regulation creates significant opportunities for patient-centric health data solutions. PortableEHR's consent-based model aligns perfectly with GDPR principles and the direction of EU healthcare policy. Our go-to-market approach will prioritise regulatory compliance, local EMR integration partnerships, and pilot programmes with forward-thinking healthcare providers in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland." β€” Mike Hes, Founder, HES Consultancy International

The exploration phase focuses on understanding how PortableEHR's Canadian-proven technology can be adapted for European regulatory requirements. Key considerations include GDPR compliance architecture, integration with national patient identifier systems, multilingual support for Dutch, German, and French, and alignment with regional health information exchange standards such as MedMij in the Netherlands and gematik in Germany.

The initial target markets include the Netherlands, where patient data portability initiatives are well-established, and Germany, the largest healthcare market in the DACH region. Belgium, Austria, and Switzerland represent secondary market opportunities following successful pilots in the primary markets.

HES Consultancy International will provide further updates as the partnership development progresses and the go-to-market strategy is finalised.

Press Release

HES Consultancy International Enters Strategic Sales Partnership with ElanWave for Microsoft-Certified Nearshore Software Engineering Services

October 13, 2025 Β· Arnhem, The Netherlands

ARNHEM, THE NETHERLANDS β€” HES Consultancy International has announced a strategic sales partnership with ElanWave, the Microsoft-certified software engineering company, to address the Dutch IT talent crisis through nearshore delivery solutions.

ElanWave, with headquarters in the Netherlands and a 60-person delivery center in Serbia, offers enterprise-grade software development services at 40-60% cost savings compared to Dutch market rates. The company holds Microsoft Partner status with certified expertise in Dynamics 365, Power Platform, and Azure.

The partnership targets the Dutch enterprise market (50-250 employees) and mid-market segment (10-50 employees), representing approximately 90,000 "free market" companies that can engage directly without complex procurement processes. With over 18,700 ICT vacancies in the Netherlands and 6,500 unfilled software development roles, the structural talent shortage creates significant demand for nearshore alternatives.

"The Dutch IT talent crisis is structural, not cyclical. Traditional solutionsβ€”headhunting, freelancers, training programmesβ€”cannot close the gap. ElanWave offers what the market needs: Microsoft-certified expertise, EU-compliant delivery, same time zone collaboration, and enterprise quality at competitive rates. We compete on quality and partnership, not procurement bureaucracy." β€” Mike Hes, Founder, HES Consultancy International

ElanWave's nearshore model delivers 66-90% of project work from Serbia while maintaining Dutch project management and client relationships. The company's 15+ year track record includes long-term partnerships with enterprise clients who describe the collaboration as "working with an extension of our own team."

The partnership positions ElanWave as an alternative to both large consultancies (Accenture, Capgemini, DXC) that carry significant overhead and individual freelancers (ZZP'ers) who present continuity and liability risks. HES Consultancy will provide strategic sales leadership, C-level engagement, and market development for the Benelux region.

Key service areas include Dynamics 365 implementation, Power Platform development, Azure cloud services, custom .NET and React applications, and OutSystems low-code solutions.

November 1, 2024 Β· Arnhem, The Netherlands

ARNHEM, THE NETHERLANDS β€” HES Consultancy International today announced the signing of a formal partnership agreement with Fujitsu, the global technology leader, to bring Private GPT and Sovereign AI solutions to the European market.

The Fujitsu Kozuchi AI platform, with over 6,000 deployments worldwide, provides advanced hallucination suppression and data sovereignty features critical for regulated industries.

Unlike consumer AI solutions that process data in shared cloud environments, Fujitsu's Private GPT approach ensures that all data remains within the customer's controlled infrastructureβ€”whether on-premise or in a private cloud. This architecture addresses the growing concerns among European organisations about data sovereignty, regulatory compliance, and the risks associated with sending sensitive information to external AI services.

"European organisations need AI solutions that keep their data local and comply with GDPR, NIS2, DORA, and the EU AI Act. This partnership with Fujitsu allows us to deliver exactly thatβ€”enterprise-grade AI without compromising on data sovereignty. The combination of Fujitsu's proven enterprise platform and Mistral AI's European-developed language models provides a compelling alternative to US-based AI services for organisations in regulated industries." β€” Mike Hes, Founder, HES Consultancy International

The partnership will focus initially on Healthcare, Public Services, Financial Services, and Insurance sectors within the Benelux and DACH regions, where regulatory compliance and data privacy are paramount concerns. Key use cases include clinical documentation support, patient intake automation, policy processing, and public service delivery optimisation.

Fujitsu's Private GPT platform features include customisable AI models that can be fine-tuned on organisation-specific data, business-grade accuracy with hallucination suppression technology, full audit trails for compliance purposes, and multilingual support for European languages.
