Our client was a Scandinavian media and digital service holding with extensive operations across Europe, and a leader in their industry. They currently employ over 1,000 employees across Europe, with a consistently growing revenue.
They’re continuously investing in their digital transformation, implementing new technologies into their day-to-day operations.
The company boasts numerous projects, all part of their digital transformation, as well as their implementation of cutting-edge technologies. The media industry is a highly competitive sector where companies need to be fast, agile, and creative enough to claim a better market share and maintain a leading position.
During their journey, the client faced a shortage of senior IT professionals who are skilled in cutting-edge technologies. They had outdated and resource-intensive legacy platforms, and lacked complete QA expertise. These factors amounted to project delays and quality setbacks. To resolve these challenges, the client initiated a partnership with us, requesting that we build several highly skilled IT teams, modernize their technology infrastructure, and impart best practices in quality assurance.
