Impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine

Key topic for NHO Annual Conference in May was the new security situation in Europe after the Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the support for Ukraine.

Arne Mjøs of Itera was the first top executive to visit Ukraine after the invasion and shared his stories after meeting our people in Ukraine and the ministries in Kyiv.

Ukraine's fight is also our fight for our freedom and sovereignty. Therefore, buying more products and services from Ukraine is the biggest corporate social responsibility (CSR) contribution that the private and public sectors can make.

This conference is the de facto annual meet up where all key stakeholders of the government and businesses in Norway are attending.

Visiting Ukraine after the Russian invasion

– As CEO, I visited our offices in Lviv and Kyiv in April and June and went over 2000 km by car through the Western part of Ukraine

I am incredibly proud to witness the way our people of Itera in Ukraine have managed to keep the business running despite the war. Indeed, we achieved almost normal capacity utilisation about one week after the invasion. Today, most of the colleagues have returned to their homes.

Cyber security is not an obstacle since we have implemented advanced security services in the cloud that are basically removing the risks related to any end-user devices in Ukraine.

We also had several meetings in Kyiv with ministries of the Ukrainian government to discuss how Norway and the Nordics can accelerate the green shift in the energy sector as well as taking a leading position within industrial software and services.

Founder & CEO of Itera

A greeting from the Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine and Minister of Digital Transformation in Ukraine

– Of course, it's important to donate and help Ukrainian refugees. But my message will be the following: in order to quickly rebuild Ukraine's economy, world shouldn't be afraid of investing in Ukraine now. "

So, engage Ukrainian IT specialists, take a look at Ukrainian startups and IT companies. They are ready to help any business in any sector in Norway to increase the speed.

Nordic origin with an international approach

The Nordics is often positioned as digital and sustainable front-runner that show the way globally

We are growing together with international customers and partners based on our ONE Itera model across borders.

Our Digital Factory at Scale with cross-functional teams across border was recognised as best in the world by Global Sourcing Association in 2018.

Since the invasion, we have invested in three new offices to balance the new situation in Ukraine.

New locations

The 4th largest city of Slovakia with a population of approximately 80,000
2 hours drive from Itera office in Bratislava
Several Itera people working there already
Ramping up recruitment capacity
The second-largest city in the Czech Republic with high talent pool due to tech universities

Increasing supply capacity in Central and Eastern Europe

We are growing our capacity in Central Europe to accommodate new demand and transition out of Ukraine for a couple of customers.

After adapting the normal in Ukraine, we will continue to grow at full speed since more customers will buy more services to stand with Ukraine.

Once the new offices are running at full speed, our growth capacity will be even larger than before the invasion and less vulnerable to any situation in Ukraine.

Illustrative purposes

A typical cloud journey

Creating a sustainable digital business starts with a modern cloud platform. 95% of new digital workloads will be deployed on cloud-native platforms by 2025.

A new growth engine with increasing recurring revenue

There is a gradual shift taking place in the nature of the demand for managed services. Cloud Application Services is our economic investment case with gradually improving profitability during the next 3-12 months.

Increasing managed services and subscription revenue

Low Code at Itera

It's estimated that by 2030 there will be a shortage of about 85 million tech workers worldwide. Part of the solution is to democratise the creation of applications and access to data.

Low Code platforms, like Microsoft Power Platform, aim to empower every developer to do more.

For our customers, Low Code can be a great prototyping tool and a way of quickly validating project goals and business needs before big development projects. We see successful fusion teams where both low coders and pro coders work side-by-side on the same project.

A unique and preferred partner of Microsoft

In June 2022, Itera and Microsoft's global consultancy division Industry Solutions Delivery (ISD) in Norway entered a unique cooperation agreement to increase sales and deliveries to selected customers.

The agreement obliges both parties to cooperate on sales and deliveries to joint customers. The aim is to accelerate the development of digital strategies and transformations for strategically selected customers.

Through joint sales and delivery teams, Itera is tapping into Microsoft ISD worldwide team of 20,000+ experts and a full range of developed IP (intellectual property) based on best practices from digital transformation of leading companies in the world.

Developed sustainability dashboard for Storebrand

Itera has assisted Storebrand in developing a new sustainability dashboard. The tool visualises how the pension savings of business customers score on sustainability.

More and more companies have started to report on sustainability in terms of purchasing, operations and investments.

Storebrand has a rich data selection, but availability has been a challenge. In January 2022 Itera was engaged to develop a solution that visualises how pension savings score on various sustainability dimensions.

The solution was developed in close collaboration between Itera and Storebrand, and followed agile development principles. Itera was responsible for developing the solutions for both backend and frontend.

Sustainability is central to Storebrand, which is ranked at the very top in the Global 100 and Dow Jones Sustainability Index ratings.

The dashboard provides insight into how the pension savings deliver in four areas:

Carbon footprint
investments in sustainable solutions
exposure to fossil fuel companies
sustainability score

In June, the dashboard was launched, and is now available for companies with a defined contribution pension in Storebrand.

Modern digital registry services with IMDi

The Directorate of Integration and Diversity (IMDi) and Itera have entered into a 2+2 years framework agreement with an expected value of 40-60 MNOK.

The framework agreement entails that Itera will work with IMDi to develop and modernise digital registry services and ensure that IMDi has the necessary expertise and capacity to establish a modern, cloud-based platform.

The goal is to bring new digital services to IMDi's target groups and create better user experiences for the individual.

"The collaboration with Itera will play a key role in IMDi's digital transformation," says Christine Rabassa Stautland, who is Head of Digitisation at IMDi.

IMDi's vision is to ensure "equal opportunities, rights and responsibilities in a diverse society".

Itera will deliver according to our Digital Factory at Scale, using all our services as One Itera.
