The 4PS Journey

... when 3 colleagues came to the idea to use their knowledge and experience from the industrie to build fully integrated ERP-software for companies in the construction industry. They started 'For (4) Project Solutions' from their attic in Veenendaal (The Netherlands).

... our first customer went live with our software implementation! In Eindhoven, in the south of the Netherlands, the company Van Straten gave the founders the trust to develop and implement the software. It was a big success!

... which was the year Microsoft took over Navision. Navision was used to set up the initial version of 4PS Construct. Because of this acquisition, we could further develop our software and join Microsoft in its software developments. This was also the moment that 4PS received the Goldpartner status.

... when we signed the first international contract in the United Kingdom. This was the moment that it became clear that international customers have different demands in software.

... 4PS went through a massive international growth. Not only the amount of international users and customers increased, the number of partners also grew. Thanks to these partners we are able to deliver the 4PS Construct software in countries like Sweden. At the same time we moved the our current office in Ede (The Netherlands).

... the first 4PS traineeship. We offered a complete study plan to young professionals, fresh out of university. This initiated a growth in the number of employees, as we also needed more senior professionals to mentor them.

... we won the title of 'Microsoft ISV of the year'. Over 500 companies of over 100 countries were nominated. Reasons for this recognition were that we are a partner that is predictable and that we have the ability to relieve customers with the latest Microsoft Technology.

... further international growth. Metaphorix, till that point one of our most important partners, with an office at the Birmingham Business Park, became part of the 4PS family. In this year we founded the 4PS Group.
