Spotlight on Ricardo Aldaco: Designing Smarter Solutions with Data & AI
Meet Ricardo Aldaco – a Montreal-based Solution Architect with 20 years of experience turning complex data into clear, decision-ready solutions. With deep expertise in Dynamics 365 F&SCM, he blends technical precision with business insight to help clients make data work smarter.

Design your solutions around the decisions people need to make. Ensure the right inputs are built into the process, not just added on as an afterthought
Engineering Better Decisions with Data
Based in Montreal, Solution Architect Ricardo Aldaco brings 20+ years of experience and a rare blend of engineering and business expertise to HSO. Working across Dynamics 365 F&O, Ricardo designs end-to-end solutions that help organisations navigate complex data landscapes and focus on what truly drives decision-making.
With two decades of experience and three degrees across engineering and business, Ricardo Aldaco brings a rare blend of technical depth and strategic insight to his work as a Solution Architect at HSO. Based in Montreal, Ricardo specialises in designing and delivering end-to-end solutions within the Dynamics 365 FOSC ecosystem, handling everything from client requirements and project estimates to configuration, data migration, and training.
Ricardo has had a front-row seat to the exponential growth of data in our daily lives and the challenges that come with it. “The complexity of discerning good data from garbage has become a major issue,” he says. “At the same time, the tools available to manage and use that data have evolved incredibly fast.”
His advice for anyone entering the Data & AI space? Focus on information needs from day one. “Design your solutions around the decisions people need to make. Ensure the right inputs are built into the process, not just added on as an afterthought.”
.


“The pace of innovation is incredible. There’s always something new to learn, and I love the challenge of designing solutions that are not only technically sound but also intuitive for users.”

He also sees Microsoft as a strong long-term player: “For someone new to the field, it’s hard to know which platforms to bet on. But Microsoft is clearly investing in growing its own ecosystem, and I think that’s a safe bet.”
Ricardo is already seeing how tools like Copilot are beginning to transform everyday work, helping surface key meeting points, summarise documents, and improve productivity. While there's more to come, he sees the direction as a promising one.
So what makes HSO different? “There’s a clear ambition to grow the business,” he says. “It’s not always perfect - like any fast-growing company, there are growing pains - but the potential here is real.”

From India to Silicon Valley, and from Malta to Rotterdam: Siddharth and Divya Singh have lived all over the world and worked for the same employers. Together with their daughter, they have seen it all. How did the couple end up at HSO in the Netherlands? In this interview, they share their remarkable story.





For many years, HSO has been recognised for its deep expertise in business applications and its ability to deliver complex, mission-critical solutions for customers across industries. That foundation remains central to who we are. However, the needs of our clients are evolving, as are we.










Expats bring fresh ideas and new energy. But they also face challenges. A new country, a different culture, unfamiliar work habits – and on top of that, building a social life. To exchange experiences and build connections, an expat community was created. Not a formal club, but a space where international colleagues can meet – over lunch, at a drinks event or just for a good conversation. We spoke with three of them about their experience: what was it like arriving in the Netherlands? What stands out in the work culture here? And what does it mean to be part of this community?

"Not your diploma, but your drive. Not your experience, but your curiosity." That seems unthinkable – but not at HSO. "With the right basic attitude, anyone can get started here," says Henk-Jan Brommer, manager of HSO Academy. It sounds ambitious, but practice shows that it works.







Please meet our recruiters in Germany and if there aren't any live vacancies feel free to make contact directly via email with your CV and cover letter.








Professional development begins with collaboration. The biggest steps are taken when we combine our knowledge and talents. Take Albert Hol (Project Manager) and Gerben Mulder (Consultant Management). They worked together on a project for a large retailer, where the billing process was renewed within Dynamics Finance & Operations using Azure Functions. The solution enables the retailer to process and invoice about 150,000 order lines quickly and accurately every day.

HSO has grown rapidly in recent years. This brings change, including in the company culture. To preserve the core of the old culture and embrace new values, a core group has developed a culture compass. Two members of the core group, Behnud and Otto, share their insights.



Find out how we coach and guide a group of leaders to become the next generation of managers. Léonie Havekes and Nathalie Boerefijn share what they’ve learned in their Journey to Lead.



















After graduating as an Industrial Engineer in Turkey, Hatice Aydin decided to pursue a career in IT and Business Applications. She was working on ERP projects and doing a master’s degree in software engineering. "It was at this time I realized I wanted to be involved in international and diverse projects while also gaining experience abroad. And so my path crossed with that of HSO International." Here is the story that brought me to HSO International’s Young Professionals Program (YPP).
