About Us
Plance is a network organisation of IT specialists from the Netherlands, Belarus and Ukraine who stick together to help customers with their IT challenges.
We all share a passion for software development and are firmly committed to moving our customers forward. We want to grow, but value staying lean and mean more highly. Evaluation and retrospection are our tools of choice to continuously improve ourselves and our collaboration.
Plance is founded in 2006 by Peter Reitsma, who was previously employed by Oracle Netherlands and Finalist.
Initially, Peter mainly worked as a freelancer for various customers. In addition, he carried out IT projects with guys from Minsk that he met on a trip through the previous Soviet-Union. After many projects and trips across, Plance grew into its current configuration.
