Advania Norge AS is the Norwegian operating company of Advania, a pan-Nordic IT services group with operations in Sweden, Norway, the United Kingdom, Iceland, Finland and Denmark and a reported total headcount of more than 3,500 employees across the group. The Advania group traces its origins to a 1939 office-equipment business in Reykjavik and was consolidated under the Advania brand in 2012. As a Microsoft Solutions Partner, Advania Norge offers a broad portfolio of services that includes Microsoft Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Microsoft 365, contact-centre solutions, infrastructure, managed services, hardware and datacentre offerings, and consulting. In late 2023 the dedicated Dynamics-focused subsidiary 'Advania Business Solutions' in Norway, which employed 45 staff focused on Microsoft Dynamics AX and Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management out of Oslo and Sandefjord, was acquired by Columbus A/S for approximately NOK 40 million (around USD 4.5 million). The remaining Advania Norge entity continues to deliver Microsoft Dynamics 365 capability as part of a broader cross-stack offering, but the deepest AX / F&SCM bench was transferred to Columbus. The legacy ITM Ståren website referenced in the source data reflects an earlier Swedish brand that was rolled into Advania.
