Cheops

Overview

About

Cheops is included in this Belgium Microsoft-partner research because its public information links the company to Managed IT, cloud, workplace, infrastructure, security and business technology services. Its stated operating location is Kontich, Belgium, while the available employee indication is 500+ employees (company/LinkedIn). The reviewed sources connect Cheops to Microsoft, HPE, VMware, HP, Lenovo, KnowBe4 and other vendors. These facts place the company within a Belgian market where technology decisions often cross language regions, multiple offices, European data-protection requirements, and a mix of local and international operations. The profile is therefore written as a practical evaluation of fit rather than as promotional copy. For a buyer, the first issue is service ownership. Cheops should be asked to define which Microsoft workloads it designs, migrates, licenses, secures, and operates after go-live. That discussion should separate Microsoft 365 administration from Azure infrastructure, Dynamics or Power Platform work, security monitoring, end-user support, and application development. A provider may be strong in one part of the ecosystem without operating the others. The proposal should identify named responsibilities for tenant configuration, identity, conditional access, endpoint management, backup, incident escalation, and cost control. It should also explain whether delivery is performed by Belgian staff, another European delivery center, subcontractors, or a combination of teams. The published service mix suggests that Cheops may be relevant to organizations dealing with modernization rather than a single product purchase. A useful discovery process would start with current applications, user groups, data locations, regulatory commitments, and operational bottlenecks. From there, the provider should show how the recommended Microsoft architecture changes daily work. For example, a modern-workplace engagement should cover device enrollment, joiner and leaver processes, Teams and SharePoint governance, external sharing, retention, and user adoption. An Azure engagement should address landing-zone controls, networking, monitoring, backup, disaster recovery, security logging, and monthly consumption review. A business-application project should include data migration, integrations, testing, training, and post-launch support. Belgian organizations should also test the provider’s treatment of privacy, resilience, and multilingual operations. Contracts need clear processor obligations, breach-notification procedures, data-location information, access controls, and deletion or return terms. Service desks should state their supported languages and hours instead of leaving coverage implicit. Customers with plants, retail sites, care facilities, or field teams should ask how the design performs when connectivity is degraded and how local devices continue to operate. Where the provider advertises managed security, evidence should include sample reports, alert-handling workflows, recovery tests, vulnerability-management routines, and a clear boundary between monitoring and incident response. Commercial comparison requires equal scope. A low monthly figure may exclude projects, Microsoft licensing, onsite work, backup storage, security tooling, or after-hours response. A detailed offer should specify included users, devices, servers, cloud resources, ticket volumes, service levels, annual price changes, and transition costs. The customer should request references from organizations with comparable complexity and should verify the current Microsoft designation in Microsoft’s partner directory when certification affects the decision. The public evidence supports Cheops as a cloudtango-listed candidate for this page, but it does not replace direct due diligence. Used correctly, this description gives editors and buyers a factual starting point, highlights the company’s published capabilities, and identifies the questions that should be answered before a contract or a public ranking is finalized.
