Amedia
Amedia is one of Norway’s largest media groups. Amedia has 66 local newspapers, as well as some other media activities, such as printing companies and distribution companies. The group operates in Norway as well as in Russia and is at the forefront of succeeding in digital subscription solutions. Amedia was established in 2012 after the A-press acquisition of Edda Media (former Orkla Media).
The start of the cooperation dates back to 1991, when Tønsberg Blad was using Infosft’s former systems. The agreements with Orkla Media and A-Press group both came in 1997.
All of Amedia´s 66 local newspapers use Infosft’s applications. In addition, there are also some other newspapers that Amedia operates and performs various services for. Along the way the newspaper industry and the market have changed enormously. This has led to great need for changes in process and system support, not least to meet digitization and the need for streamlining operations in all areas.
«Infosoft is a key provider of mission critical software. They provide a wide range of different solutions that are used on the edition figures of the Group. The main application is the subscription system that manages all the finance associated with our over 500,000 active subscriptions. Infosoft is a supplier that is responsive to our needs, is flexible and has delivered over time.»
Since the merger in 2012, Amedia has been a leading player for the further development of the publishing and subscription segment of the industry.

After a thorough process, where Stampen had over 300 requirements for a new system, Infosoft was chosen as a new supplier.
«Infosoft is a reliable, competent and reliable supplier that understands our needs. For example, they have solved our need for extended support to enable us to streamline our own IT resources. We also notice this in our conversations about INFO-Subscription, which they now have and further develop, where we have a common picture of future needs.»
All of Stampengruppen`s subscription magazines use Infosoft’s applications. Stampengruppen has got a system of modern technology, lower costs, and a system that provides good support for a large and complex subscription business.
