Stay Connected: Successful Solid Online Event Celebrates Collaborations

On May 16th, the first Stay Connected Solid Online Event took place. From the rooftop bar of our new office in Hoofddorp, customer cases were presented on various topics. Stay Connected was attended by clients, partners, and other interested parties. During the subsequent networking drinks, numerous ideas were exchanged. The right blend of informative and informal elements made the afternoon a success.

The event kicked off with a series of inspiring presentations, focusing on customer cases from the staffing industry. It started with a presentation on Charlie works. Richard Baas and Félicienne Harteveld-Minnaar from Solid Online shared how the Hours Transformer simplifies hour processing for Charlie works.

After a short break, the Metis room hosted the customer case of Logistic Force. Pieter-Bas Piscaer from Solid Online presented alongside Debby Smits and Jeroen Wouters from Logistic Force, discussing the Connector that operates in two forms at Logistic Force: one between AFAS and Acture for absence registration, and the other between AFAS and Clevergig for managing sales relationships, employees, and their competencies.

Simultaneously, in the Hemera room, the customer case of NED Personeel was presented on Direct Assignment, an Advanced Feature on the Connector. Collin Regter and Janno Elst from NED Personeel, together with Richard Baas from Solid Online, delivered the presentation. Richard collaborated with Easyflex to develop this Advanced Feature on the Connector, providing NED Personeel with extensive capabilities for processing assignement data.

Last but not least, David Hill from our partner ABN AMRO presented on Payday. This new app ensures faster payment for freelancers. Solid Online ensures that Payday integrates with the back-office systems of the staffing agencies and that the hours are sent to ABN AMRO as quickly as possible.

The host of the afternoon was our intern, Larissa Boerenstam, who organized this event as her graduation project for her Creative Business studies at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (HvA). Her dedication and creativity contributed to the positive atmosphere of the event.

The event not only provided an informative platform but also an informal setting where clients, partners, Solid employees, and other attendees could engage in conversations. While enjoying snacks and drinks from Farm Kitchen, valuable connections were made, and ideas were exchanged. The pleasant gathering was accompanied by the music of DJ Vaganza.

With the success of Stay Connected in mind, Solid is already looking ahead to the next event scheduled for the upcoming autumn. It promises to be another unique opportunity to strengthen customer relationships, forge new collaborations, and explore the latest developments within the staffing software industry.

Ashvin, intern Information Security Management comfortable at Solid

News / By Marieke van Gasteren

Solid has a new intern, Ashvin. He studies Information Security Management (HBO-ICT) at The Hague University of Applied Sciences. During his internship, he reviews Solid Online’s security measures and helps to tighten them up. Solid Online has experienced new growth, which means that the current measures have to be adjusted and moreover it is necessary to take a closer look at security every year. We are happy with Ashvin, who enthusiastically started working on this!

Ashvin, you study Information Security Management, the security side of the IT world. A very important aspect for all IT companies. What are the best parts of this study for you?

“Within the HBO-ICT programme, you have two fields: a more technical field, which focuses on hacking and the more technical sides of the profession that involve a lot of coding. In addition, there is a more “human” field, which aims, for example, security audits of companies. Within this field it is more about the human side, the side of the user. This movement appeals to me, because you work with people, for whom you solve the security challenges that arise when using IT within a company.”

“The user side of IT, the human side, is challenging to me because of the unexpected situations you can encounter”

You have just started at Solid, are you enjoying it so far?

“I definitely like it! An important part of my work is reading a lot of documents, which takes time, but the great thing is that you get so much out of it that you can immediately put into practice during your internship! Theoretically, I know what to do, but I’m happy Solid Online’s ISO consultant is available for questions and help me with his practical experience. Every company is different and needs its own measures, depending on the size and the data that is processed. It is nice to be able to learn about this from him. The other colleagues are also nice. My internship often includes meetings with Roos (COO), Bert (IT Architect) and Nandu (Director of the India office). It is nice to test your findings and gain new insights during these meetings.”

Xentys | Datamigratie | Mysolution | Solid Online

Xentys: smooth transition to Mysolution with Data Migration by Solid Online

News / By Marieke van Gasteren

Xentys is a recruitment agency that specializes in consultancy services in technical procurement. They recently switched to their new system, Mysolution. It was of course important to Xentys that all data from their old system would also be available in the right place in Mysolution. Solid Online took care of the Data Migration, so that Xentys could quickly proceed their work in the new system.

Data Migration process

Xentys provided an export of the first part of the data to be migrated. In addition, we retrieved a large part of the data, including documents and e-mails, from the API of the old system. The master data was transferred in a weekend (candidates/customers/contact persons/vacancies/placements). In the following week, the e-mails/documents were migrated. Then the remaining data was transferred with a Delta Migration. A Delta Migration has 2 phases, in phase 1 Xentys was able to continue working in the old system after exporting all data. In phase 2, these last changes were also migrated and Xentys could continue in their new system where all data was in the right place. This was the first Data Migration that Solid Online did to Mysolution. A nice milestone for Solid Online on the road to more Data Migrations and interfaces with Mysolution.

For every specialism a powerful solution. Mysolution’s cloud solution supports the digital front, mid, and back office. In this way Mysolution takes care of everything during the entire process of recruiting, temporary employment, and secondment.

Martine Verhave

Product Expert
Solid Online

“Together with Martin Havelka from Xentys and Bernard Soons from Mysolution, we determined the scope for the Data Migration to Mysolution. During the project, final adjustments were made, to ensure that Xentys had immediate access to the desired data when Mysolution went live. It was a major Data Migration with different topics and large amounts of data, but due to the consultations in the preliminary phase and the good coordination, the migration was completed in one go to the satisfaction of the customer. A project to be proud of.”

Xentys, founded in 2010, is a recruitment agency that specializes in consultancy services in technical procurement. Xentys takes care of the recruitment of procurement professionals on an Interim basis, through Secondment or through Recruitment & Selection. The Xentys consultants know the labor market for procurement positions in the industrial and construction sector like no other. Xentys has the right expertise to advise its customers on their recruitment and selection procedures and their procurement processes.

Blue Beaver | Solid Online | Connector | OTYS | Exact Online

Synchronized assignment data for Blue Beaver by Connector between OTYS and Exact Online

News / By Marieke van Gasteren

Blue Beaver provides and mediates personnel for technology companies. Thanks to the Solid Online Connector, assignment information from the OTYS front office now automatically flows to their Exact Online financial system. Now the data in both systems is the same, without having to be entered and updated twice.

Exact Online
is the market leader in business software in the Benelux. Exact Online automates accounting, financial, ERP, HRM and CRM processes. In addition, Exact Online offers specific industry solutions

OTYS
OTYS Go! is cloud-based recruitment software. Thanks to its modular construction and many implementation possibilities the Recruiting Technology platform is a very attractive option.

Clients, contact persons and candidates are created by Blue Beaver in OTYS. This information is required to create an assignment in OTYS. As soon as the assignment has been created, the information of this assignment is transferred to Exact Online through the Connector. The linked client, contact person, candidate and the agreed rates are also transferred to Exact Online through the Connector. If the transfer has been successful, the unique ID of the assignment in Exact Online is entered in the assignment in OTYS.

In addition to adding the unique ID of the assignment in OTYS, the unique IDs of the client and candidate in OTYS are also transferred to Exact Online. This makes the data easy to find in both systems.

Blue Beaver has chosen for OTYS to be the leading system. This means that changes within existing assignments, clients, contact persons and candidates are implemented in OTYS. The Connector ensures that these changes are visible in Exact Online within approximately one minute.

Last but not least, we have set up a template for Blue Beaver which automatically generates invoices for freelancers. Blue Beaver sends invoices on behalf of freelancers, and now they only have to fill in minimal information, such as the number of worked hours. All other necessary details are automatically filled in on the basis of the project number, such as the details of the freelancer and the client.

This saves Blue Beaver time and ensures that their staff can be paid easily and quickly!

Blue Beaver stands for permanent and flexible quality personnel in technology. With over 25 years of experience in technology and personnel solutions, Blue Beaver speaks the language of technology.

Good technical professionals are indispensable for the future of the Netherlands. Greener, healthier, safer and more social. Technology has an increasing influence every day and everywhere on our safety, our health and our daily life. Technology has an impact. Craftsmanship makes a difference. Blue Beaver has the vision that administration and double entry is a frequent bottleneck in the staffing industry. From the start, they have kept a 100% focus on networking with freelancers and candidates. Blue Beaver provides suitable staffing solutions for every situation. Temporary staff, permanent staff and support from skilled freelancers. Blue Beaver manages it with diligence and flexibility.

Hortense Verhoeven, our sporty new Junior Consultant

News / By Marieke van Gasteren

We have a new Junior Consultant, Hortense Verhoeven has come to work at Solid! She is also studying Human Movement Science, she is doing a Master’s Degree at the VU in Amsterdam. We are very happy to welcome her!

Hortense, you are doing your Master in Human Movement Science, what is the subject of your thesis?
I am writing my thesis on gait patterns in women’s football matches. I first did an internship at Ajax Women for a year to collect data from practice. I’m researching what running actions look like. For example, these are often combined with a header or a pass. In my thesis I will map out the results of my research. The ultimate goal is to help players and coaches to train more match-specific.

How did you come to this topic?
I have played gymnastics at a high level. At the time, I already found it useful to improve myself by analyzing videos. During my Bachelor Artificial Intelligence I learned that you can do many things with data. By combining these two you can get even more out of yourself as an athlete. When Ajax Amsterdam asked for a Performance Science intern, my research came about.

“You get back the energy you put into something!”

For how long have you been doing gymnastics?
I’ve been doing gymnastics since I was five. At the age of 14 I went to the highest recreational level, where you train 12 hours a week. We have won many awards as a team. At the age of 15 I became Dutch Champion, individually. I am still very proud of that. Now I still do gymnastics, but more recreationally.

Do you already have plans for after your studies? I think it would be nice to use my knowledge about Human Movement in gymnastics in the future. Data analysis is not often used there yet to improve results, so I think it would be nice to expand that. But first I really want to be a volunteer during the Olympics. I was supposed to go to Japan in 2020, but that was canceled due to Corona. Now I hope to be present during the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024. It is a dream of mine to be able to walk around and work there.

Does your work at Solid match your studies?
For my studies I am working on data analysis and I have also done programming. At Solid I learn to look at data critically and accurately and learn about the processes around data. Working in IT is fun and interesting, it’s something I like to do!

Brainbridge Workforce Solutions takes a step in digital transformation with Data Migration to Bullhorn

News / By Marieke van Gasteren

Brainbridge Workforce Solutions, one of the market leaders in providing innovative Workforce & IT solutions, has moved to a new ATS, Bullhorn. Together with HRLinkIT, Solid Online realized the transition. HRlinkIT ensured the correct setup of the Bullhorn environment and Solid Online ensured a smooth Data Migration from the old ATS to Bullhorn.

Tens of thousands of records had to be migrated to realize the transition to Bullhorn. To ensure a smooth Data Migration, we started with an extensive preliminary phase in which Brainbridge’s wishes were mapped out. Based on this, a CSV export was prepared and a test migration was done, after which the data was transferred to Bullhorn via the API. Brainbridge has now been working successfully for several weeks in Bullhorn, where all data can be found in the right place.

Martine Verhave

Product Expert
Solid Online

"Solid Online successfully migrated the data from Brainbridge's old ATS system to Bullhorn! Thanks to Arne van Balgoijen and Ellen Luckx for their efforts during the preparation and execution of the Data Migration. The data had to be combined from different export files to collect all relevant information for the migration. A precision job that went smoothly, partly due to a test migration. Charlotte Stagier of HRLinkIT, thanks for your efforts! As a Bullhorn implementation partner, HRLinkIt has gone through a nice process to align the Bullhorn design to the wishes of Brainbridge. Inquiries and comments were quickly picked up and dealt with. Another project to be proud of!"

Ellen Luckx

Recruitment Manager
Brainbridge

“From the first contact with Sam and Marnix, our Account Managers, we experienced a very professional collaboration with Solid Online. In the first step, our wishes were mapped out very extensively. Subsequently, Martine successfully carried out our Data Migration. We would therefore like to thank her for the personal, transparent and fast approach to this project. We can look back on a pleasant collaboration with Solid Online, based on trust, consultation and quality!”

Brainbridge was founded in 1998 as a small independent company but with a great vision: “to be the market leader in providing innovative Workforce & IT solutions”. Brainbridge has since grown into a strong and reliable partner in the field of secondment of IT consultants, Vendor Management and Contract Management. The combined use of both permanent employees and freelancers is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Brainbridge allows organizations to flourish by offering solutions for these kinds of personnel challenges.

News / By Marieke van Gasteren

3 years ago OTYS Recruiting Technology and Solid Online started their successful partnership. Over the past 3 years, the two companies have built up a warm relationship in which many interfaces have been realized and many customers have been serviced.

OTYS supplies recruitment software for various target groups such as recruitment & selection agencies, secondment, temporary workers, job boards and corporate recruiters for whom finding and acquiring real talent is the main goal. OTYS customers usually work with several systems in addition to OTYS, for example financial or payroll software. The systems usually do not connect to each other.

Hendrina Vooijs back at Solid Online as Head of Administration

News / By Marieke van Gasteren

Solid Online has a new Head of Administration. Hendrina Vooijs was one of the first employees of Solid, and now she’s back! No one ever really leaves Solid, and Hendrina is a good example of this. After working as an Assistant Accountant for some time, she was looking for a new challenge. Coincidentally, Solid was looking for a Head of Administration and so the match was quickly made. Hendrina feels at home in the software industry and is looking forward to working for Solid again.

Hendrina loves her profession: she likes to correct numbers and especially to smarten the systems she works with. She is looking forward to further optimizing the accounting process together with her colleague Padma from Solid Online India. They met in 2004 when Hendrina visited the India office.

“It’s nice to correct numbers and to smarten the systems you work with”

In her spare time, Hendrina likes to do puzzles. She recently participated in the preliminary rounds for the Dutch jigsaw puzzle championship, organized by the well-known puzzle illustrator Jan van Haasteren. She also likes to hike. With family and friends she walks Dutch long distance hiking trails, the migratory bird path, the limes path and the coastal path. A hiking holiday in the Azores is on the agenda!

We are happy that Hendrina is back “in the house” as a veteran!
