Amsterdam, 27th of August 2025 – Investment firm Holland Capital, active in Healthcare and Technology in the Benelux and Germany, today announces the acquisition of its portfolio company HealthConnected to software company Visma.
With this acquisition, Visma further expands its healthcare portfolio. HealthConnected is a leading provider of primary care platforms, offering solutions for GP practices (HIS), out-of-hours GP services (HAPIS) and integrated and network care (NIS). Over the years, HealthConnected has proven its strength in developing valuable digital solutions for the healthcare sector. The company now joins Visma, alongside well-known healthcare providers such as Ecare, Therapieland, SureSync, Esculine and ZorgDomein. .
HealthConnected & Holland Capital
With support from Holland Capital, HealthConnected has developed into a leading platform for primary care, placing the healthcare professional at the heart of its mission. The platform’s user-friendly design helps care providers work more efficiently and spend more time with patients. Since 2020, Holland Capital has actively supported the company’s operational and strategic growth.
“I have seen HealthConnected’s journey up close and I am impressed by the team’s innovation and determination,” says Jan Frens van Giessel, Partner at Holland Capital. “With Visma as its new owner, HealthConnected has found the right partner to accelerate its growth, expand its platform and make an even bigger impact in healthcare.”
Paul Witteman, Founder and CEO of HealthConnected, looks back on a period of intensive collaboration with Holland Capital. “Collaboration is easy when everything goes according to plan, but it was precisely in the moments when this was not the case that Holland Capital truly proved its added value. That has been the foundation of a successful partnership.”
Primary care as a key link in digitalization
Visma specializes in cloud solutions that simplify and automate complex work processes, improving user experience and saving time. In healthcare, Visma’s ecosystem accelerates digitalization by improving integration and collaboration across systems.
“In our search for an innovative HIS provider, we identified HealthConnected as the perfect fit,” says Sander van de Merwe, Business Area Director Healthcare & Education at Visma. “Together, we can further scale the platform and bring strong parties under one umbrella. For example, HealthConnected and ZorgDomein can now collaborate even more effectively to address the challenges in healthcare. Boards, our joint solution for integrated and network care, already demonstrates the power of this partnership.”
Independent, with shared ambitions
HealthConnected will continue to operate independently with its own products, teams and partnerships, while benefiting from the synergies within the Visma group.
“This step allows us to innovate faster and support GPs with a platform that grows with their needs,” says Paul Witteman. “By joining Visma, we gain access to expertise in software development, security and privacy, as well as the strength of other Visma companies. At the same time, we will remain an independent organization, fully committed to openness and collaboration with other systems.”
Building a stronger healthcare ecosystem
Healthcare digitalization requires deep expertise, due to the diversity of applications, integrations and complex processes. For professionals, collaboration across the care chain is essential to support patients effectively. “Healthcare doesn’t need one all-encompassing system, but a strong ecosystem with collaboration, long-term vision and room for innovation,” says Paul Simoons, CEO of ZorgDomein, who will join the board of HealthConnected on behalf of Visma. “This acquisition allows HealthConnected and ZorgDomein to strengthen their partnership and build a seamless chain of systems. This benefits patients, healthcare providers, and creates new opportunities for our partners.”
