New Alliance

Last summer, Basefarm announced that they are entering into an alliance with Accenture, Avanade Norway and Microsoft. The quartet aims to help the Minister of Modernization, Jan Tore Sanner, to move the public sector into the cloud and subsequently contribute to increased digitization and greater productivity in the sector.

“By being based in Norway, and so centrally located to Oslo, our clients and partners knows that all data and information will be safely stored in Norway.

“However, with our hybrid cloud service, Basefarm’s private, Norwegian cloud connects to global cloud services, providing full flexibility.

“We are obviously proud of the alliance and it’s a fascinating project,” Baumann says.

The hybrid cloud service provides both private and public players with a new, Norwegian cloud that will lower the threshold for utilizing the immense opportunities for industries and sectors depending on high-level security and regulations when storing data in Norway.
