Douwe Franssens
In his 5th year with IDS, Douwe has been instrumental in migrating traditional desktop and Excel based functions to the web and allowing universal access to operational data. Before joining IDS he spent 18 years with a Halliburton company focusing on Real Time data acquisition and transmission. Combined with the time spent with BosKalis a world leading Dutch dredging company, his career has relocated him to almost every continent, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UK, Malaysia, USA and Canada.
The IT side of the industry has always fascinated him as a lot of the elements, including connectivity, are never following the accepted norm, which challenges those who implement solutions for clients to have to think outside the box.
