About Fly By Wire — No-Nonsense IT Partner since 2000
OUR LEGACY
From SABENA test pilot to IT pioneer
Three generations of precision. Charles Rooms flew the most complicated
routes in the world. Today, Fly By Wire keeps your business flying -
reliable, efficient, no-nonsense.
For 26 years: IT that just works
Fly By Wire was founded on a simple principle: IT should not be a hassle.
No cable that breaks unnoticed. No ransomware that takes down your business. No network congestion at the worst moment. No questions you wait three weeks for.
What we do: network management, Microsoft 365, VoIP, cybersecurity, cloud backup and fibre internet — all managed by one fixed contact. Proactive, automated, reliable.
For 150+ SMEs in Flanders, Brussels, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Ireland. The companies that do not like to see wasted time and money.
Your advantage
- Less 'need help' — notifications, because we see them coming.
- Lower IT costs — things do not break because we maintain them.
- Better overview — you always know where you stand.
That's it. No cloud missions, no buzzwords. Just IT that works so your business runs.
Diederik Maes
Managing Director
What we stand for
Charles Rooms flew routes where one mistake could change everything. Diederik learned as a line pilot: you cannot take shortcuts, no 'we'll see that tomorrow', no jokes.
That is what we do at Fly By Wire—not for aviation, but for your business.
We operate based on three principles:
- Protocol over convenience — Yes, we could have fixed it faster. But not neatly. We do it neatly.
- Involvement over distance — You don’t get 'we'll look into it', you get a staff member who calls you and tells you where it stands.
- Honesty over sales — Sometimes we say: you don’t need this. And yes, that saves us money. But you trust us more.
These are not nice words on a wall. This is how we make decisions every day.
Our Team
Dedicated professionals driving our success
Diederik
Chief Executive Officer
Diederik is related to Charles Rooms, test pilot at Sabena. That precision is in his DNA. Diederik himself trained as a line pilot at Sabena—so he knows from experience what it means to work precisely, down to the last detail. One mistake in the cockpit costs lives. One mistake in your network costs money and customers.
26 years in IT. No fuss, no procrastination. He calls back. He remembers your business. Ask him anything—he answers.
Diederik does not judge; he thinks along with you. Sometimes he says: 'That’s throwing money away.' Sometimes he says: 'This will save you a lot of trouble later.' Both times he is right.
When you work with Fly By Wire, you work with someone who treats IT like piloting: no compromises on safety, reliability, and attention.
Bjorn
Senior Technical Expert
20+ years of IT problems solved. Seriously: there are few things that Bjorn hasn't seen or can't fix. Not because he knows everything, but because he doesn't give up until it works.
Perfectionist with patience — a rare combination, but exactly what you need when your network crashes on a Monday morning at 9 o'clock and you have 50 guests waiting.
Bjorn is the quiet force behind most 'we've solved it' conversations.
