Debble celebrates its 10th anniversary: growing together, building together
Ten years of Debble. That means ten years of working together, learning, innovating and above all: building a digital home for organizations.
Ten years ago, we started with a clear idea: intranet had to change. More user-friendly, more social, more modern. At the time, Microsoft SharePoint was at the beginning of a major transformation to the cloud, but an intranet that people really enjoyed using hardly existed. We wanted to create that intranet. That's how Debble was born.
Today we are ten years, thousands of users and many beautiful moments later. A perfect time to look back and look ahead!
How it all started...
Ten years ago, the idea for Debble was born. The digital landscape looked very different back then. SharePoint was complex, slow and above all technical. A user-friendly intranet? There was hardly any. We wanted to do things differently and Microsoft offered us the opportunity with Office 365. This is how Debble was born: a social intranet, simple, fast and attractive.
Our first customer Croon Wolter & Dros dared to take on that adventure with us. Those were exciting times: new technology, a market on the move and a small, driven team. But it is precisely that start that shaped us. From day one, Debble stood for simplicity, speed and a user experience that makes people happy.
Together with our first partners.
From the very beginning, we found organizations that believed in us. Companies that chose Debble because they saw that employees could work better and more pleasantly with a modern intranet. One thing connects them all: they have all helped build where Debble is today.
We are proud of all our customers. To the organizations that work with us today and to those who believed in us from the very beginning.
Customers such as Arcadis, Hero, BDO, Croonwolter&dros, Peka Kroef, Cumela and Oceano were there at the very beginning. Just like ICT Group, Quion, Planon, Grandvision and PGGM.
Thanks to their trust, we grew from an innovative idea into a solid and reliable player. We are very grateful for that.
Cheers to beautiful moments
Ten years of Debble is also ten years full of beautiful memories. Like the time when, after signing an important contract, we spontaneously dived into the company restaurant to celebrate 🥂🍾. Simply because successes are there to be celebrated.
And so there are countless moments, big and small, that together form Debble's story.
From special milestones to daily fun. All pieces that make Debble what it is today.
Look at this: a wonderful piece of history! Lourens and Wilfred, young rookies at the time, celebrated the very first autograph together.
Ready for the future
Ten years sounds like a long time, but it feels like the beginning to us. Technology is changing at lightning speed. Debble is growing with integrations in Microsoft 365, smart AI functionalities, personalized dashboards and powerful tools that make collaboration and communication easier than ever.
And we are now facing another major transformation with Ai & Copilot. We and our customers still believe in that one starting point from ten years ago: an intranet should not only work, it should feel like a place you like to visit.
And that remains our mission. On to the next milestones. Smarter and together.
Celebrating together
Of course, we will not let Debble's tenth anniversary go unnoticed. We will pay attention to this in various ways in the coming period, together with our customers and partners. One of the ways we do this is with an Anniversary Webinar. In it, we show how Debble has developed over the past ten years and take a look at the future of the intranet. Sign up for the webinar!
Keep an eye on Debble, because we are going to celebrate this anniversary!
