Nieveld Communications: Telecommunications and ICT Support Solutions
Nieveld Communications is an independent provider of advisory and contract services to support your business. A unique mix is offered of telecommunication and ICT related support capabilities. These pages provide an overview of the services that Gert @ Nieveld Communications can offer you. Don't hesitate to contact me directly to determine if I (or any of my partners) can support your specific needs. Contract and business development assignments typically range from several months to one year and include a post-contract maintenance support interval to facilitate a smooth transfer of responsibilities.
My success rate in this business area over the past 25 years allows me to focus entirely on assignments that I consider unique and extremely challenging. Assignment opportunities will compete for priority with other challenging activities such as my 19th century historical analysis projects (paintings and music), and new art commissions and many other Renaissance Man activities. I realize this sound presumptuous but I can afford to be selective. I enjoy having a large network of business friends to discuss support of any of your needs.
