What AVO Consulting does

AVO Consulting is a Norwegian technology consulting firm founded in 2016, headquartered in Oslo with a regional office in Bergen. The firm helps Norwegian enterprises and public-sector organizations adopt new technology through what it terms 'intelligent change' — a portfolio spanning AI implementation, robotic process automation, low-code application development, system integration, and digital competency building. AVO positions itself as technology-agnostic, selecting tools from across the Microsoft ecosystem (Power Platform, Azure Integration Services, Copilot, Fabric), Blue Prism for RPA, Appfarm and OutSystems for low-code, and integration platforms including Workato and n8n. Its proprietary methodologies include 'no/problem' workshops for opportunity identification, 'AI@Core' for prioritizing AI deployments in core business processes, and an AI-assisted legacy code analysis technique that uses machine reading of codebases to produce functional specifications in weeks rather than months.

AVO's customer base is anchored in two segments. The enterprise segment includes Aker BP (multi-project AI@Core engagement), Odfjell Drilling, Odfjell Technology, Beerenberg, Wilson ASA, Tide AS, Posten Bring, Sparebanken Sør, Volte, and Bertel O. Steen Power Solutions. The public-sector segment spans multiple Norwegian municipalities (Lørenskog, Trondheim, Bergen, Vestland), national agencies (UDI, Research Council of Norway, Nasjonalmuseet), cultural institutions (MUNCH), and educational bodies. Documented outcomes include 112,000 robotic cases processed at Vestland since July 2020 (over 10,000 hours freed), 1,074 kindergarten admission applications processed for Lørenskog, 2,000+ daily users on a redesigned app for Tide, and a 50% reduction in development time on AI-assisted modernization projects.

The firm operates a project-based professional services model with quote-based engagement pricing initiated through direct consultation and live demos. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the firm is privately held with no external funding rounds reported. Leadership is a partner-led structure with Managing Director Inger Lin Gleditsch Ekås, Chairman Sverre Gjessing, and a bench of six named partners and multiple directors across Oslo and Bergen. Recent strategic activity includes an Ayfie partnership announced December 10, 2025 to co-deliver enterprise AI solutions, an AI-agent practice emerging alongside Microsoft Copilot Studio deployments, and a leadership succession formalizing Ekås as Managing Director.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• AI@Core AVO's proprietary consulting program that translates a client's AI strategy into prioritized initiatives in core business processes. Delivered via framework, facilitation, and execution support in cross-functional teams, with documented application at Aker BP producing seven concrete AI initiatives spanning decision support, planning, operational efficiency, compliance, and information flow.
• AI-assisted Legacy Code Modernization AI-powered consulting engagement in which AI reads the client's legacy codebase, identifies business rules, dependencies, and data flows, and produces a draft functional specification for the new system. The method pairs AI analysis with workshops and user insights to compress modernization mapping from months to weeks and reportedly halve development time.
• AI Solutions Development Consulting engagement to design, build, and operationalize AI solutions and agentic workflows inside the client enterprise using tools such as ChatGPT, Codex, Claude Code, Cowork, Microsoft Copilot, and Azure Foundry, with secure and managed implementation.
• Microsoft Power Platform Solutions Custom digital solutions built on Microsoft Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI) covering app development, workflow automation, analytics, chatbot integrations, and governance implementation via the Center of Excellence Starter Kit, including training programs for client teams.
• Integration and Automation Services Consulting engagement to design and build system integrations, automations, and workflows using Workato, n8n, Azure Integration Services, and Blue Prism to connect business systems, automate manual tasks, and establish scalable processes.
• Low-Code Application Development Consulting engagement to build modern business applications using the Appfarm and OutSystems low-code platforms, focused on rapid value creation, user experience, and long-term maintenance, covering both new applications and modernization of existing systems.
• Blue Prism RPA Solutions Consulting engagement to design, build, and operationalize Robotic Process Automation solutions on the Blue Prism platform, automating rule-based processes through user interfaces — applied to municipal kindergarten admissions (Lørenskog kommune 'Pippi'), crew management integration (Wilson ASA), and government administration.
• no/problem Discovery Method AVO's entry-point engagement format in which consultants work shoulder-to-shoulder with the client to identify areas where new technology can create significant effects quickly, delivered as workshops in Oslo, Bergen, or digitally (bookable via 'Book en brainstorming' on the AVO website).
