Our Business 25
profitable growth and progressing
the quality improvement measures
• We are building one of the most modern data centres
in the Nordic region
Through the Future Proof program, we are updating our
entire operating services organisation. This includes con-
solidating 18 data centres in Norway to industry solutions
with standard platforms and greater use of cloud compu-
ting. Future Proof is a program of fundamental improve-
ment which will reduce costs and increase the quality of
deliveries. The new delivery structure has already demon-
strated that it is very competitive. Customers including
Gjensidige, Storebrand and Posten will now migrate to this
new structure.
• EVRY Norway will establish new industry verticals
The second major priority is a sharper focus on industry
verticals. EVRY operates with a number of verticals that
offer major growth potential in both the Norwegian and
Nordic context. The industry-specific expertise this in-
volves is an important differentiating factor in the mar-
ket. Among other industry verticals that offer significant
potential for development are Healthcare, Municipalities,
Retail and Oil & Gas.
• EVRY will continue to attack the Swedish market
We now have a presence in 26 Swedish towns and cities
offering significant local expertise and delivery capacity.
We will continue to develop our unique position. We also
intend to increase our focus on industry verticals that have
potential in Sweden as well as on a Nordic perspective.
Healthcare is an example of this kind of industry vertical.
• Financial Services will continue its Nordic expansion
• We will reinforce and develop our position in Norway
– we attracted many important customers in 2012.
• We will continue to build our activities in Sweden
step-by-step – we are now better known in Sweden
than ever before, and have the references to demonstrate
that we offer an attractive concept.
• We will continue to expand in selected market areas in
Finland and Denmark, as well as ensuring the continuing
growth of our activities in the United Kingdom.
Implementing our strategy and achieving our profitability targets can be
summarised as four main priorities:
Over the two years that have passed since the merger, the company has prioritised
customers and employees as well as realising synergies. EVRY is now at the start
of the second step of the strategic plan, where the focus is on profitable growth
and progressing the quality improvement measures already in operation.
