Telindus (now also known as Belgacom ICT) offers ICT services and solutions to the corporate and public sector internationally. These solutions also contain management and support services in relation to their ICT contracts.

Telindus was founded by John Cordier in 1969. Based in Heverlee, it was listed on the stock market in 1985 and grew in Europe by taking over various companies. In 2005, it achieved a turnover of €618 million, had 2,750 employees, and was present in 6 western European countries.

In January 2006, Telindus joined the Belgacom Group as an IT services subsidiary. Hence, it is now called Telindus - Belgacom ICT.

The company will maintain offices in Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, the UK and Spain, but eight other country organisations will be closed. These include Germany, Italy, Portugal, Switzerland and Sweden in Europe and Thailand and China in Asia. In these countries Telindus is too small or making losses, Belgacom stated, according to a report by local paper De Tijd.
