The reliable data partner
in your digital transformation

LACO is a Belgian-based business and data intelligence company with over 35 years of experience. Way back in 1994, we were the first SAS partner in Belgium. Today we are still the largest and most experienced partner. Since 2006, we have successfully expanded with a second entity to Microsoft Azure. Our third practice specializes in data governance and advanced analytics also covering some best-of-breed technologies like R, Python and Hadoop. Today, our team of over 110 consultants is dedicated to helping businesses in a wide variety of industries to leverage the untapped power of data and navigate the digital realm.

How we work:
a philosophy of partnerships

Our clients are our partners.

But what does that mean, exactly?

It means

  • we provide full transparency in our commitment to create added value for your company,
  • we aim to be the first company that comes to mind when you think about data intelligence (DI),
  • we strive to exceed your expectations in terms of the quality we deliver,
  • we go the extra mile to make your project a success,
  • we help you overcome any challenges you’re facing.

What do we want in return?

That you are committed to taking on those challenges and are transparent about your ambitions. That you are ready to step into a mutual partnership based on trust and understanding, with the sole aim of increasing added value.

If you step into this partnership with us…

…you will find in us a valuable companion to navigating the digital world. Not by pushing our offering and promising the moon, but by helping you get your basics right and providing fertile ground for the innovation you need. We will bring you artificial intelligence, machine learning, bots, etc. but in a secure way, not just for the sake of doing it.

 

The companies who engage in DI today will be leading tomorrow. Those who don’t are bound to trail behind. Act now. Act sustainably.
