The Norwegian software-as-a-service company, Kongsberg Digital, has achieved significant global success since it was established in 2016 by delivering innovative software and digital solutions to businesses in the maritime, energy and utilities industries.

Every day, the software company works with focus and dedication to realize its vision of making these industries more sustainable through digitization. This is achieved through artificial intelligence, maritime simulation and automation. However, achieving this vision will be challenging if Kongsberg Digital's own IT infrastructure doesn't meet its current requirements and needs.

Based on this, the company embarked on a quest for a senior Microsoft Dynamics 365 provider who could manage and maintain Kongsberg Digital's Dynamics 365 solutions. It was also a requirement that the provider should serve as a long-term IT partner, offering guidance and support to the SaaS company on its journey toward fulfilling the vision of a greener world.

Kongsberg Digital is one step closer to realizing its vision

The agreement between Kongsberg Digital and Cepheo includes Cepheo Managed Services for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Human Resources, and ISV solutions Exflow, Lasernet and AXtension Shipping Control. In addition, Cepheo also acts as a strategic advisor and IT partner for the software company.

"It was important to us that our new provider had competence in, and knowledge of, all the modules in Dynamics 365 Finance and Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. It was also crucial that the provider had a wealth of experience in implementing and maintaining Microsoft Dynamics 365 solutions," says Kongsberg Digital's Vice President IT, Lene Lergaard, adding:

"With Cepheo, all our needs and desires are met. They are the perfect match for us."

With Cepheo's services, Kongsberg Digital maximizes the value of its IT systems. This is achieved through Cepheo's commitment to managing, updating and evolving the systems according to the SaaS company's needs and wishes. It not only extends the lifecycle of the systems but also gives Kongsberg Digital more time and resources to invest in creating sustainable IT solutions for its customers.

More projects on the horizon

The collaboration between Kongsberg Digital and Cepheo has started successfully. The project went live as planned in early 2023.

Since then, both parties have agreed to add more projects to the agreement. This includes the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing and the further development of modules for Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.

"We look forward to continuing the excellent partnership with Cepheo for many years to come," concludes Kongsberg Digital's Vice President IT, Lene Lergaard.
