Noldus Information Technology bv
Noldus Information Technology was established in 1989 by Lucas Noldus, founder and CEO of the company. With a Ph.D. in animal behavior from Wageningen University, he developed the company’s first software tool during his research in entomology. Noldus has strived to advance behavioral research ever since, evolving into a company that provides integrated systems including software, hardware, and services. We now offer a wide range of solutions for research in animal and human domains, including biology, psychology, marketing, human factors, and healthcare. We work with leading suppliers and develop innovative, state-of-the art products. We also offer excellent technical support and customer care. As a result, our systems have found their way into more than 10,200 universities, research institutes, and companies in almost 100 countries.

How we work
Design philosophy
At Noldus, our customers’ needs and requirements are a driving force in each step of product development. We consult with leading experts in the field, monitor relevant technology trends, and ask our customers for feedback. Customer surveys, technical support questions, and beta tests are invaluable sources of information for our planning process.
When developing a new product, we start with product research to generate new solutions for data acquisition and analysis. This includes subjects like sensor technology, computer vision, and mathematics. Using our modern engineering facilities, we build prototypes and design hardware for our products. We also collaborate with leading hardware suppliers, including Tobii, Biopac, Maze Engineers, Ugo Basile, and Eyetech. Next, interaction designers and software engineers create the system architecture, functional design, user interface, and robust program code. Finally, extensive product testing ensures that our products meet the highest possible standards of quality and reliability.
To promote innovation, we also study novel technologies, concepts, and product prototypes in Noldus InnovationWorks. Within this branch of the company, we push the limits of our technology and test new features that may be of value to our customers. Noldus InnovationWorks pursues and coordinates partnerships with researchers and entrepreneurs in academia, government and industry. We play an active role in several leading research projects on animal and human behavior.
