Independent, senior and close to delivery
Metro XS is an IT consultancy on the Herengracht in Amsterdam. We work for organisations where access, security and software are genuinely critical — and where advice without delivery is not enough.
What we stand for
The name says it: a metro only works if all the lines connect. That is how we look at IT. Identity, access, security and applications are not separate projects but junctions in one network. Forget something at one stop and the whole organisation notices.
That is why we work with small teams of senior people who both create the design and get their hands dirty. What we advise, we can also build — and that keeps advice realistic.
Independent
No exclusive vendor ties. We advise what fits, even if that means you buy nothing from us.
Senior
The people at the table are the people who do the work. No handover to juniors after the contract is signed.
Measurable
Every engagement has an agreed outcome you can hold us to.
Where we are at home
We mainly work for organisations with a complex application landscape, many partners in the chain and demanding regulatory requirements.
Grid & energy
Grid operators where office IT and operational technology meet and continuity comes first.
Public sector
Central government, municipalities and public service bodies with BIO and NIS2 obligations.
Healthcare
Institutions where access to patient data must be strictly and demonstrably controlled.
Financial & professional services
Organisations with regulatory requirements and a lot of external access.
