DICTU operates as one of the Netherlands' largest government ICT providers, managing systems across ministries and executing agencies with roughly 1,800 staff across three cities. The tech stack is enterprise-heavy (Oracle, SQL Server, Windows, Kubernetes, GitLab, Splunk, Elasticsearch) with active adoption of Linux and containerization (Docker, Helm, Kubernetes), signaling modernization of legacy workloads. The hiring mix—dominated by engineering (18 roles) and security (9)—reflects investment in cloud migration, AI governance, and resilience against digital threats.
DICTU provides ICT services, systems development, and managed infrastructure to Dutch government ministries (particularly Economic Affairs, Health, and Agriculture) and their executing agencies. Their portfolio spans business applications, websites, mobile apps, digital workplaces, and domain-specific systems for subsidies, inspections, and public registers. The organization prioritizes security (ISO 27001 certified), reliability, and continuity. They operate across cloud, legacy on-premise, and air-gapped environments, managing data and systems handling sensitive citizen information.
DICTU uses Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, Docker, GitLab, Splunk, Elasticsearch, Kibana, and Active Directory. They manage both Windows and Linux infrastructure, use Ansible and PowerShell for automation, and employ Keycloak for identity management. Linux adoption is currently active.
DICTU is focused on container management platform development, cloud environment buildout, legacy file share migration to cloud, AI governance frameworks, and responsible AI implementation. They're also addressing technical debt, automating data masking, and strengthening resilience against digital attacks.
