IT Solutions Architect

Company Description

We are a Bosch company but we do not produce tangible objects such as DIY tools or car parts. Service is our product. We provide services and complex technology driven solutions in the area Business Process Outsourcing, and this makes us unique in the Bosch world.

We complement any product with a solid service delivered ²⁴⁄₇ across all channels or design new service models, optimally fitted to the needs of end-customers. We ensure that each interaction with end-users is as smooth and efficient as possible, so that products or brands leave a lasting positive impression.

As part of the Bosch group, we operate in one of its four main business areas – the Building and Energy Technologies unit. There is a historical reason for it.
