Home base of ODC-Noord

NorthC hosts ODC-Noord, one of the four Dutch government data centers located in Groningen. ODC-Noord serves as a knowledge hub for data center and IT services for the central government. We work closely with them to support government organisations in modernising their IT infrastructure.

With extensive experience and expertise, we help the public sector meet the growing need for fast, secure, and transparent data exchange and storage.

Future-proof information management with Common Ground

Common Ground is an initiative that modernises municipal information management by decoupling data from applications and processes, enabling more efficient and secure data exchange. This requires close collaboration between municipalities, chain partners, and suppliers.

NorthC supports these principles by facilitating secure data storage, processing, and exchange on Dutch soil. Our data centers align with the Common Ground vision, offering access to an ecosystem of government agencies, connectivity providers, and IT and cloud service providers who embrace these principles. We foster collaboration and innovation within this network, contributing to flexible and modern information management for the public sector.
