Customer Executive, Tietoevry Connect
The goal: to enable a more cost-effective solution as well as provide flexibility and an easier path to innovation. The project was also one of the first in which a state-owned company exploits the potential of public cloud technologies.
“Cloud is the anchor of our IT strategy. By taking these services into the cloud, we facilitate their more reliable and cost-effective operation,” said Ottar Sverre Bakken, Director of Digital joint solutions at DigDir.
He adds that the shift to the cloud enables DigDir to also improve security as well as lower the threshold for innovation.

Prioritizing cloud solutions
DigDir has a management principle that underpins its IT strategy: if requirements for cost, quality, security, and necessary integration are satisfied, cloud solutions should be prioritized. eInnsyn is an evolution of our previous solutions that provides residents and journalists with faster and more user-friendly access to public information.
“Inhabitants benefit from the fact that we are more cost-effective. We can deliver more services at low cost,” Bakken says.
Ottar Sverre Bakken, director of digital joint solutions at DigDir, has the clouds in sight.
From the beginning, and throughout the process, the collaboration afterwards has been successful. DigDir is so far satisfied.
“When we conduct a tender competition, award criteria are set according to which the bidders are assessed,” says Bakken. “After an assessment of quality, feasibility, and price, it was Tietoevry that received the highest score, and was therefore chosen.”
Bakken believes the collaboration with us has worked well and that we have delivered what we promised.
“Many suppliers will be able to provide a standard cloud service, but suppliers such as Tietoevry have the expertise to deliver additional value,” he says.
“When we enter the market, we look not only for a good operating partner but also a good competence partner who, in this case, can give the cloud service an added value. When it comes to eFormidling and eInnsyn as well as the other joint solutions from DigDir, we demand a high level of service. So far, we have had a good experience with cloud services as an important part of the operating platform for eInnsyn and eFormidling.”
"The choice to take the services to the cloud is rooted in our IT strategy and facilitates a stable and cost-effective operation. Tietoevry meets the requirements in an excellent way" says Frode Danielsen, Director at DigDir.
"With our focus on innovation and future-oriented technology, we look forward to delivering a scalable and flexible platform that supports Digdir's transition to a cloud-based architecture,” says Evi Seljevoll, Head of Tietoevry Connect Norway.
Going forward, DigDir wants to continue the journey by exploring new technological opportunities. It wants to challenge the supplier market and will therefore soon launch tenders to enter into agreements in the areas of operation, competence, and security. High competence in cloud services will be key terms in all these agreements.
