The Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise chooses Acando for new business critical platform

The Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise has chosen Acando as consulting partner to implement a new business solution for the management of relationships, structured information sharing, and collaboration, internally as well as externally.

The Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise (NHO) is the largest trade association in Norway, with about 20 000 member companies, representing 508 000 workplaces. "In the project, we will build a modern and future oriented collaboration platform for the whole of NHO, as well as for our members. The objective is to obtain better tools for daily communication, as well as areas for collaboration and management of relationships”, says Svein Olaussen, IT Manager at the Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise. Acando has worked in close cooperation with the Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise since the summer of 2009. A pilot and a pre-study have formed the foundation for the chosen solution, which is based on a number of standard applications from Microsoft: Dynamics CRM, SharePoint, BizTalk, and later also Dynamics AX. "We are very proud to be able to contribute to increased internal and external effectiveness”, says Björn Olofsson, Senior Engagement Manager at Acando. In the project, NHO will be able to use parts of the solution which the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise has developed in co-operation with Acando. This will give the project a fast and secure take-off. ”It is very positive that we have been able to achieve this Nordic co-operation for the benefit of both parties”, says Marie Rudberg, Administrative Director at the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise.
