Communicate more effectively
Few industries are as dependent on the continuous development of IT solutions as the entertainment and media industry. The need to communicate more effectively with users around the clock across various platforms requires close ties between content production and IT. The demand for renewal is increasing, which is why Schibsted utilizes NetNordic for the operation of IT infrastructure and IT support, as well as to streamline and better integrate its IT solutions.

NetNordic provides an integrated and highly efficient IT platform, enabling Schibsted to compete in an increasingly competitive market. As part of the agreement with IBM, NetNordic has delivered network, security, and communication solutions.
Both companies have a strong position in the service market that will benefit Schibsted; IBM with its global innovation power and extensive operational experience, and NetNordic with its local presence and unique expertise. The solution for Schibsted from NetNordic spans from data centers to remote offices, built on a network fabric at the core, with WAN and LAN/WiFi at the edge. All is supported 24/7/365 from NetNordic’s operations center.
