In 1993 Fujitsu took control over my current employer ICL, and started a reorganizing of the whole business. In this process I got the opportunity to acquire the company's Branch Office in Bergen, and became a Valued Partner of Fujitsu/Siemens. During this period I and my Business Partner shared the roles as CEO and Executive Chairman. In 1998 I established a separate development company Core Tech AS, a Company that was acquired by Proact AS as a basis for establishing their Regional Office. The Acquisition required that I took Employment as their Regional Manager - and I then ended my commitment to Ergo Team AS. Today Ergo Team AS is part of the Company Norsk Datasenter AS. Success Stories:We developed the company to become a Nationwide IT Provider with Offices in Bergen, Haugesund, Stavanger, Oslo and Trondheim. In 1997 Ergo Team AS acquire the larger Company Unique AS, and became UNITEAM AS. The consolidated Company had a Turnover of around 250 Million NOK and had more than 50 employees. In 1998 the Company changed its Name back to Ergo Team AS. The company was listed on the OTC list in 1997.

In 1986 I was "head hunted" for the Post of Sales Director at Ericsson Information System AS, however before I got started, the Company was acquired by the Finnish Company Nokia and became Nokia Data AS. During this period, Nokia Data had a dominant position in the market including all Banking, Financial and Insurance Companies as Customers, to whom we delivered Infrastructure, "Back Office" Solutions, Point of sales equipment and ATMs. In 1998, the Parent Company Nokia Data Oy was acquired by British ICL, and in Norway we got the name ICL Data AS. The consolidated Company maintained its position within the Financial and Insurance market and developed a strong position within Production and Industry and won many of the major Industrial Companies along the West Coast.Success Stories:During this period, the company had a substantial increase in market share and revenue and I personally exceeded all Objectives and Goals every year. Among my customers I will mention Vesta Hygea (Tryg), Sparebanken Vest, Rieber and Søn, CPN, Norges Bank, Vital, Nevi, Ekornes, Frank Mohn, Western Bank and many Local Bankers.

Having studied the US IT market, and how IBM PC revolutionized and changed the Market, Me and four colleagues from Vestdata AS/Computer Systemer AS established the Company Datacom AS in 1982. This was probably the very first PC dealer and PC Specialist Company in Norway. My role at the Startup was to care of Sales and Marketing. Datacom AS grew rapidly, and within three Years we passed 100 Million NOK in revenue and had Branch Offices in several Cities. During this Period, the IT industry developed and changed rapidly and new Opportunities arose virtually everyday. We embraced several of these Opportunities and soon had several Subsidiaries, all of which exist to this day. In 1986 we sold Datacom AS to the Swedish Company Kontorsutvekling AB and we changed name to Kontorutvikling AS.Success Stories:In 1986, I went from being the Manager of the subsidiary NetCom AS to the role as Manager of the Parent Company Kontorsutvikling AS. In 1984, we gained access to the Scandinavian Agency for 3Com's Products, the leading Manufacturer of Networking Solutions. The company was in 1986 acquired by Esselte, and is today a part of 3Com. Already in 1983 we saw a great potential in the deployment of Software for PC’S, and training of PC-users and formed the Company SoftCom As. We soon became the Distributor for several Market Leaders and signed a cooperation Agreement with the US Company SoftTeach. When we sold DataCom AS this Company was the beginning of Scribona Norway AS , who became a major Distributor in the Norwegian market (Techdata AS).

In 1981 I left my studies after being offered a, in my opinion a very well paid position. My intention was to just work for a few Years, however, there has never been an opportunity to resume my studies. My Career started initially as Finance Employee in the Micro Computer Department of Vest Data AS. I quickly realized that it was Sales that got my interest, and soon I was transferred to the Sales Department. Vest Data AS was a large Data Center for Banks and large Businesses in and around Bergen. As a supplier of Mainframe Services was Vest Data AS a major Customer of IBM. In late 1981, IBM recruited personnel from their Data Center Customers to build the Team being responsible for the introduction of their new Super High Priority Product, - the IBM PC. I was elected to the Team and got the pleasure of working for IBM, First in the USA for some months and later in Norway during the IBM PC launch in Norway, - 1th April 1982.I quickly realized that the IBM PC was not a suitable Product to be sold through a Data Center, in fact it was a threat to their own Services, - this was the start of my entrepreneurial Career.
