Royal Joh. Enschedé is a family company that was founded in 1703. It has printed Dutch bank notes since 1814, produces post stamps for 60 different countries and provides both traditional and advanced digital publishing solutions for its clients. For the division IT & Consultancy, Joh. Enschedé wanted a hosting provider that could guarantee a stable network, scalability and security. The provider also needed to have sufficient specialised engineers for Joh. Enschedé IT & Consultancy to fall back on if necessary.

The qualities listed are important due to the often very large applications that Joh. Enschedé IT & Consultancy provides to its clients (Adobe, Raad voor de Rechtspraak, Mitsubishi Motors Europe and Schiphol, among others). The hosting provider also had to be acquainted with virtualisation software such as VMware and the solution had to be as 'green' as possible. Joh. Enschedé therefore chose LeaseWeb, which houses its server park in the energy-efficient and climate-neutral data center EvoSwitch.
