Shared Services The fusion of Heerhugowaard and Langedijk into Dijk en Waard creates demand for unified IT infrastructure, data governance, and procurement. Propose a bundled offering for shared services, including centralized hosting or cloud migration, data integration, governance frameworks, and vendor consolidation to drive efficiency and consistency across the new municipality.
