“The only thing we knew at the start of this process was that we didn’t want to do things in the classic sense of documents in Word or Visio. We needed a tool that was SaaS, web-based and flexible. We found these criteria in Ardoq.”

Enterprise Architect at Schibsted

About

Schibsted

Schibsted needed to transform their organization, merging their many entities into one. This meant complex IT consolidation for several departments. These teams had different approaches to work but needed to align as a single department overseeing several portfolios.

To make this transformation, they needed a complete overview of their entire architecture and a way to track and maintain their many applications.
