One of our latest projects was to help Mastercard develop flexible and secure solutions to handle both brand sites and B2B core solutions with all their integrations
An engagement for Mastercard Payment Solutions (MPS).
The solutions are integrated with third-party products, internal core systems, stakeholders and partners, secure logins, e-signing and more.
The solutions are fully based on best practices from Microsoft Azure DevOps and other frameworks.
The partnership with Mastercard is based in Denmark with several expansions across borders during 2021
All solutions have to live up to Mastercard's Golden Standards – which are some of the highest compliance standards in the market

The result is flexible and secure business systems, rapid access to new functionality, and accelerated delivery of innovative solutions and time to market
Denmark's best known real estate agency had to make a smooth migration to the cloud without disturbing day-today business.
Home is Denmark's most well-known real estate chain, 100% owned by Realkredit Danmark.
The chain consists of approximately 120 franchisees with a total of 180 offices throughout Denmark and more than 900 employees nationwide.
The challenge was not to only lift and shift but handle all third-party products and core solutions, and move them according to a controlled and aligned roadmap.
Itera performed a Cloud Readiness Assessment, developed a business case and evaluated the complexity of the system portfolio.
The result is that time to market for new services has improved.
After more than 20 years as a provider of on-premise managed services for Home, Itera challenged Home two years ago to migrate to the cloud.
Through cloud migration, Home was able to continuously meet customer expectations of new and improved services. By the end of 2021, Home had finally moved from a traditional operating model to 95% of their systems in the cloud.
DNV is modernising its digital solutions in the cloud for managing risk, improving safety and asset performance.
DNV is modernising its digital solutions to support customers around the world towards the future of Industry 4.0
The solutions have been continuously developed, but for many of them there was a need to upgrade the technology platform to a modern architecture.
A full fledged Digital Factory at Scale and Cloud Centre of Excellence are used to create new SaaS solutions in Azure with new event driven architecture and new technology stack.
Azure DevOps is applied for efficiency, quality and lice cycle management.
DNV Digital Solutions team up with Itera to accelerate digital transformation by combining deep industry knowledge and digitalisation at scale
leading companies.
he speed of DNV's cloud transformation has increased significantly and the share of applications operated in the cloud is increasing
After five successful years in the Icelandic market, partnering with ambitious customers like Össur, Landsbankinn and Íslandsbanki, Itera opened a branch office in Reykjavik in the fourth quarter.
The office opening represents a natural next step due to increased market demand for Itera's services in the Icelandic market.
With a 22% growth in employees the last 12 months, well-functioning and efficient onboarding processes across all locations are important.
A practical day to get to know different systems and processes.
Insight into the organisation, our delivery model, the business strategy and a deep dive into how it is to be a consultant.
Professional onboarding in the various organisation units, capabilities and practices, including online training and certification programs
Despite growing tensions in and around Ukraine, we have a normal operation and activity level at our office in Kyiv.
We have updated our business continuity plans for our personnel and operations in case of further escalations.
Itera office in Kiev is located more than 600 kilometres from the centre of the unrest in the country's eastern regions. We have also increased our office space in Lviv close to the Polish border.
Indeed, our distributed delivery model and high mobility of consultants enable us to work from anywhere as needed, including home as the new hybrid work normal after the pandemic, as well as from other Itera offices in the western part of Ukraine, Slovakia and the Nordics.
