How can technology help you and your business reach their strategic goals?
To help you succeed digitally, it is important for us to work closely with you and your business
We have long experience - and have gained valuable lessons - linked to how technology can help companies reach their strategic goals. Our clients experience that we work closely together with them to realise the digital potential. We help them establish or customise IT features to become one central, comprehensive and strategically important part of the business.
PwC is vendor independent. This means that we can offer technical expertise across strategy, business architecture and solution design, organisation, process and project management, without favouring solution or predetermined choice of technology.
This helps us provide independent services, solely the business' strategic goals at the center.

- Focus on fast customer/user-oriented innovation
- Comprehensive digital customer experience with digitised end-to-end processes
- Digitised products and services as part of an ecosystem with partners and suppliers
- Digital operationalisation through providing the organisation with expertise and technology

Automation of processes
Digital interaction is a term that answers many of the new requirements for companies that follow the wake of digitalisation. For example, we are thinking of increased international competition in more and more markets, more demanding customers, more mobile employees and a sustained demand for increased efficiency.
The application areas for digital interaction are endless. Including everything from collecting data in a joint area, accessible to all involved when needed, to advanced real-time collaboration, where sharing of text, audio and video are key elements.
Typical assistance from us could be:
- Review of interaction internally and externally
- Identify and map processes that may be relevant to automation
- Simplify and standardise processes
- Implement software robots
- Digital employees
- Technology trends and how they can affect interaction and automation
Effective IT function
A professional and business-oriented management of the IT business is necessary to ensure the realisation of business value.
A common problem in Norwegian as well as international IT departments is that administration and maintenance of previous investments shed a disproportionate share of resources. This at the expense of improving IT operations, as well as business development and innovation. Both parts are important, but the magic lies in finding the right balance, and an efficient flow of services that meet the business needs.
PwC offers the knowledge and tools that enable both IT management and other business management to shorten lead times and increase output from IT services, so that focus can be more pointed to measures that can realise additional business value.
We can assist with professional expertise and global experience in:
- IT management models included:
- Organization
- Process
- Governance
- Design and establishment of management models

Our customers have often experienced challenges related to the establishment phase of projects, but also in the implementation and profit identification of these. These are among the findings in surveys we have conducted over the last ten years. In the implementation itself, the challenges are related to changes in the scope of projects, risk management and lack of anchoring in management, the line and resource challenges.
