Support Team

In four years, Maarten Hoogerwerf has graduated from being a customer support engineer to managing the Van Gennep Customer Support Division. In that role, he sees his main strength as being able to ‘fit into the shoes’ of his customers, by listening to designers, editors and IT staff to fully understand their way of working and their unresolved challenges.

His previous experience as database administrator for a printing house/direct mail company and resource manager with IT, HR and finance responsibilities for an international organization bring the technical experience and the responsive approach required for excellent customer support.


Theo Jager is a Technical Application Consultant at Van Gennep with experience in printing and publishing which dates back to 1975. During this period, he was responsible for the migration of traditional prepress and publishing departments to highly automated workgroups. He also furthered his technical knowledge by studying under the Open University Computer Science program and attending numerous courses in graphics and publishing.

Today, Theo provides in-depth support on the complex technical issues for our customers and resellers. He is also responsible for initial installations on the server side and finetuning systems so that workflow automation is optimized.


Wytske Bottema is a Customer Support Engineer who has provided first-line support via the helpdesk for PlanSystem4 and related issues for the past two years. In addition to a wide experience in company IT infrastructures, Wytske is our resident expert on the development of specialized scripting for publishers of TV guides.

TV–guide scripts save considerable time and money for our clients automating the conversion of TV data, delivered in a proprietary format, to information that can flow directly and accurately into final pages.


Maarten Meijer joined Van Gennep in March 2008 as a Customer Support Engineer. Having previously worked as technical support employee for a large internet service provider, he has a vast knowledge of IP-networks, databases, servers and software. Together with considerable trouble-shooting experience, Maarten is also an expert in script editing for layout and workflow automation.

With his combined skills, Maarten not only works closely with customers and resellers, responding to requests for customer support, but also tests new software developments and beta version. This crossover gives him an excellent overview to efficiently resolve customer problems and challenges.
