“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

When Schibsted needed to transform their organization, merging their many entities into one, their several IT departments, which had different approaches to work, needed to become a single department with 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.
