A little history ...

... it really only started in 2008

Hi, I'm Hans van Dam, the founder and owner of ObviuZ.

After over two decades of IT experience as a database consultant on various projects, I decided to strike out on my own in 2008 and establish DamData. As an independent consultant, I was able to offer clients top-tier services at a competitive rate by eliminating the overhead associated with a traditional secondment agency.

In July 2020, I relocated DamData to Faial in the Azores, seeking a better work-life balance. This move has allowed me to enjoy natural beauty and a relaxed lifestyle while continuing to provide high-quality database consulting services.

To streamline operations and integrate in my new country, I established Cachalote, atividades de informática, unipessoal Lda., in July 2021. This Portuguese company has since acquired all of DamData's activities and now operates under the tradename ObviuZ Data Solutions or short: ObviuZ.

What hasn't changed:
