Government IT and HR services across public administration
Cipal Schaubroeck is a joint venture delivering IT infrastructure and HR/payroll software to public authorities across Belgium and beyond. The tech stack is heavily oriented toward on-premises database and infrastructure (Oracle, SQL Server, MariaDB, VMware, Hyper-V) with recent cloud adoption via Azure and Microsoft 365—a pattern typical of legacy government IT modernizing incrementally. Active pain points around database performance and financial process optimization suggest the core product struggle is handling complex transaction volumes in older systems rather than building new platforms.
Cipal Schaubroeck operates as a public company based in Geel, Belgium, founded in 2016 as a joint venture between Cipal IT solutions and Schaubroeck nv, combining over 70 years of combined experience in public-sector technology. The company serves cities, towns, provincial administrations, and national government agencies with end-to-end solutions spanning citizens administration (population registries, vital records), financial and tax administration, payroll and HR, land management, social welfare, procurement, and managed IT services. With 201–500 employees, it operates across Belgium and Canada, currently maintaining steady hiring velocity focused on engineering and consulting roles.
Oracle, SQL Server, MariaDB, MongoDB, Azure, Microsoft 365, VMware, Hyper-V, Cisco, Fortinet, Active Directory, and Power Platform form the core. The stack reflects on-premises database and virtualization infrastructure with incremental cloud migration.
Core pain points center on database performance optimization and query time reduction, alongside stabilizing application performance and streamlining complex, inefficient financial processes within their government administration software.
