The Russian invasion of Ukraine

On February 24, when Russia invaded Ukraine, Itera's Business Continuity Plans (BCP) were immediately put into action, with an imperative focus on securing the safety of all employees.

The lives and security of our Ukrainian people and the fulfilment of obligations to our customers have been the highest priority.

As many of these employees fled to safer locations elsewhere in Ukraine and abroad, there was some business disruption in the first few days after the war broke out.

After this initial impact, almost all projects have been running close to normal during the war.

My visit to Ukraine as CEO

– As CEO, I visited our offices in Lviv and Kyiv and went by car through the Western part of Ukraine on 7-9 April 2022.

This visit was driven by the desire to demonstrate support to Ukraine, to all Ukrainian employees, to meet with Ukrainian government officials and discuss how to help Ukraine in the best way.

Itera people are really making a difference and we are all very proud of being part of the beautiful Ukraine. I really feel we stand with Ukraine in our hearts and everyday work life as ONE Itera.

Itera stands with Ukraine

The energy transition, digitalisation and Ukraine

Norway, the second-biggest supplier of gas to Europe behind Russia, is urged by President Zelenskyy to deliver more energy to stop Russian supply of gas that is financing Putins' war.

Norway as an advanced and reliable producer of energy

As an advanced and reliable producer of energy, Norway can make Europe greener while at the same time contributing to urope's energy security.
Norway is at the forefront when it comes to offshore wind, clean hydrogen, carbon capture & storage and batteries.
Renewable electricity is also the key lever for reducing emissions in the main industries such as transport, industry, and oil & gas.
Digital technology is available for the new energy system and is estimated to contribute to one third of the required carbon reduction within 2030.

Ukraine can meet Norway's need for IT specialists

To succeed with making Europe greener, Norway is facing a shortfall of 40,000 – 80,000 IT specialists by 2030.
The IT industry in Ukraine has 285,000 specialists, increased by 40,000 in 2021, and 53% of high school students say they will study IT.
IT services can be provided from Ukraine so that we do not brain drain the country of highly educated people.
In return, Norway will provide export revenues of NOK 15-20 billion to Ukraine.

According to Mckinsey, the green transition could in 2030 create 210,000 new jobs and generate about NOK 310 billion in increased Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Norway. This represents 70% of the GDP contribution from oil and gas in 2020.

DN Studio: How to accelerate the green energy transition

Itera is committed to participating in the global effort to create a sustainable world.

As an element of our contribution, we took, together with the Norwegian newspaper DN and NHO (Confederation of Norwegian Enterprises), the initiative for an important TV broadcast called on this topic.

Sunsetting of own data centre operation completed

The remaining part of our data centre operation that had not already been migrated to the cloud was sold to a new data centre vendor by the end of the quarter.

Q1 2022 represents a milestone for the company, as we have both launched our new capability Cloud and Application Services and closed our own data centres.

Hence, our financial figures are reported as fully core digital business in 2022.

We now have a state-of-the-art delivery model for developing new, innovative solutions in the cloud, moving old solutions from on-premise data centres to the cloud and developing new solutions in the cloud. We can do it fast and scale quickly when needed. This is what we call Digital Factory at Scale.

Delivery model for DNV created an electric atmosphere

Itera has helped DNV to transform an application that makes it easier for some of the largest electric utilities in the USA and Canada to improve reliability in the electrical grid.

s the world's largest quality assurance and risk management company, there are few companies that know as much about local regulations and infrastructure requirements as DNV.

After having provided consulting services for some six months, Itera was awarded the task of creating a solution from scratch involving new tech and a focus on the user experience.

A full fledged Digital Factory at Scale and Cloud Centre of Excellence working from Ukraine and other locations are used to create the new solution in Azure by combining deep industry knowledge and digitalisation at scale.

Between 2026 and 2030 alone, NOK 7 billion needs to be invested in electrical grids globally to achieve the zero emissions targets by 2050.

The successful collaboration between DNV and Itera was one of the most important reasons for which it was possible to speed up the process.

Itera is helping DNV as a digitalisation and delivery partner. The electrical grid project is one of a number that have been launched across industry areas and national borders.

How an app can improve quality of life

Itera has assisted Össur in developing an app that gives amputees a better patient journey, and prosthetic providers a better basis for decisionmaking.

The solution consists of an app and a web interface used to create a statistical overview. The app, called Pro App is used to administer outcome tests with patients and gathers all the information in one place. This spares the prosthetic provider much paperwork.

From our offices in Kyiv, we worked with the customer's team in Iceland. The solution needed development - both the front and back end of the web interface - and it had to be designed for the American market.

Since Itera started working with Össur, the team has helped with continuous improvements to enhance the experience for end-users. The app is currently being used by clinics across the USA

In 2017, an estimated 57 million people worldwide were living with limb amputation due to traumatic causes.

MedTech is a highly regulated industry with strict guidelines and requirements regarding the quality and safety of the solutions and how personal data is stored and processed.

The result is flexible and secure business systems, rapid access to new functionality, and accelerated delivery of innovative solutions and time to market.
