Simac is sponsoring the Koninklijke Nederlandse Hockey Bond / Royal Dutch Hockey Association (KNHB). The KNHB is one of the larger sports associations in the Netherlands that is still growing and intends to continue to do so. The KNHB finds the availability of information technology crucial for this. Simac expressly supports the KNHB in this field. In particular with the further development of their own website to a so-called “virtual community” and the setting up of an intranet for the chairmen of the hockey clubs, the districts and the KNHB.

Virtual community
Director Johan Wakkie of the KNHB: “In order to stay healthy as an association, the commitment of the members is of the utmost importance. In our vision the availability of ICT  is essential. A good example is a “virtual community” to which all hockey clubs are connected by means of websites. With this we want to fill the hockey needs of our members of communication, information, entertainments and transaction. Not an easy task, but with our new ICT-partner Simac we will make a big step in the right direction.

Services programme
“This sponsor contract with the KNHB offers us a good opportunity to bring our services programme directly under the attention of a large audience”, says Eric van Schagen, CEO of Simac. When choosing the KNHB it was of decisive importance for us that our expertise and experience directly contribute to the achievement of the goals of the KNHB. In this way sponsoring is not limited to a financial contribution only.
