About us
Vorsen is an experienced, behind the scenes guide in an ever more complex educational landscape. We guide a change of the way in which the IT aspect of education is handled. To ensure IT isn’t always experienced as difficult or decelerating but as a crucial requirement for delivering the best education.
We’ve been doing this for over 15 years now, for a whole range of educational institutions. From universities to vocational colleges. Different organisations, where we always have the same objective: equip institutions for the future, today. With useful applications that simplify the job and make it more effective and efficient.
So basically, IT that works for you as an institution and not the other way around. Because IT might sound generic, at the end of the day it’s tailor made by real people. We have so much personal experience within education, also as a supplier. Therefore, we’re always able to identify the relevant intersection. And from that, we deliver the optimal support within your educational institution.
Pillars
Reliable
We want the people we work with to feel at home. Our years of experience in the world of education comes with recognition. In addition to that we are understanding and approachable and are good listeners.
Innovative
We improve processes and ensure institutions can work smarter and easier. We are familiar with situations and can quickly come up with and execute solutions. This creates a lively dynamic.
Inquisitive
Even though we’re experts in the field of IT, this doesn’t mean we suffer from tunnel vision. We are keen listeners, look closely and have an open view. We believe this results in the best outcomes.
Connecting
We’re here to connect students, tutors and other employees with each other. Because together they form education. And the quality of it.

Describes his work as a 'compass within Higher Education'. Many program director roles suited him well, although there was sometimes a bit of frustration that things that should be simple were unnecessarily complex. That's how Vorsen was born.

Vision
An educational sector that is more agile when it comes to continuous and undeniable change, is beneficial to all. Because working smarter and easier equals better education. And that’s better for everyone. That’s why we are working towards a sector that embraces IT and utilises it for optimal support when achieving objectives.
