Solita, a technology, data, and design company, has been selected by Telenor Group, a leading telecommunications company, to spearhead its data transformation in Sweden and Denmark. The partnership builds on Solita’s 15-year collaboration with Finnish telco DNA, a part of Telenor Group, and marks a significant expansion of joint efforts to create a modern, data-driven organisation across the Nordics.

Solita will drive data governance and introduce agile ways of working to accelerate business impact. To support this transformation, Telenor Sweden and Telenor Denmark will implement new data platforms on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and BigQuery. The platforms will leverage Agile Data Engine as the DataOps tool for development and operations. The delivery program kicked off in early 2025 and will continue through the end of 2026. 

Driving business impact through data

Together with Solita, Telenor aims to accelerate the time to market for data-powered services, enhance customer insights for enterprise-wide activities in both B2C and B2B segments, and ensure regulatory compliance across its operations.

“We are excited to extend our collaboration with Solita as our strategic data partner. Their deep expertise in data and cloud technologies, combined with their existing understanding of our business to drive synergies in Telenor Nordics, makes them the right choice to drive this transformation for us,” said Tomi Eronen, VP, Data and Analytics at Telenor Nordics. 

Solita was selected for its leading Nordic expertise in data, strong Google Cloud competence, and nearshore delivery capabilities, as well as its long-standing relationship with DNA.

“Modern data capabilities are essential for our business transformation. With Solita, we are building a foundation that will allow us to leverage data more effectively and create new business opportunities,” commented Jacob Boesen Madsen, Head of Data Platforms for Telenor Denmark.

A foundation for the future 

The initiative is part of a broader strategy to establish a unified, scalable, and future-proof data foundation. While the focus is currently on Sweden and Denmark, the approach and learnings from this transformation have the potential to extend beyond these markets in the future.

“We aim to unlock significant business value and operational synergies by developing similar, yet locally tailored digital platforms for the two Telenor business units. Even though it’s still early days in the program, we’ve already seen some of this promise in action”, complements Asad Khan, Head of Data Analytics & AI at Telenor Sweden.

”We’re proud to continue supporting Telenor on their data journey. Together, we’re turning data into value by combining cutting-edge technology with agile methodologies, always with the goal of creating real, long-term impact,” says Ossi Lindroos, CEO at Solita.
