Klintra

What Klintra does

Klintra (legal name Klintra Sp/f) is a Faroese IT consulting and custom software development firm headquartered in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands. Founded in 2016, the company designs, builds, and operates tailor-made government-grade digital systems for Faroese public and private sector clients where standard commercial software is insufficient. With approximately 23 named staff spanning consultants, developers, coordinators, and administration, Klintra functions as the de facto in-country systems integrator for Faroese national digital infrastructure and positions itself as a long-term core-systems partner rather than a project-by-project outsourcer.

The company's core product portfolio consists of five mission-critical systems: Samleikin, a national digital identity platform built on PKI, SAML2 Identity Provider, and Registration Authority architecture, enabling citizens to access banking, tax, and health services and produce legally binding digital signatures via smartphones; the Land Registration Act System, a web-based central administrative system for the Faroese cadastre managing ownership, mortgages, restrictions, and movable-asset registration; the Welfare Administration System, a shared platform for social services aligned with Faroese legislation and used daily by social workers and case handlers; the National Budget System, built on Oracle E-Business Suite for budget preparation, management, and approval with SSO across government financial systems; and the Municipal Citizen Registry (LFOLK), a municipality-level citizen data platform integrated with national registries. Underlying technology spans Microsoft (.NET, ASP.NET, SQL Server, Entity Framework, Web Forms, ADO.NET), Oracle (Database, SOA Suite, ADF, WebLogic, E-Business Suite), Java/Spring Boot, and open-source components, with strategic vendor alliances with Oracle (Gold Partner) and Thales (Luna HSM), plus Onfido for cloud-based identity verification.

Klintra operates a sales-led, professional-services and managed-services model with project-based quoting, multi-year contracts, and no publicly disclosed pricing. Revenue is generated from custom development engagements and ongoing operations/maintenance of deployed systems. Go-to-market is direct, with no channel partners, resellers, or self-serve product offering. The customer base is heavily concentrated in the Faroese public sector—including central government bodies (Fíggjarmálaráðið, Almannaverkid, Umhvørvisstovan), municipal organizations (Kommunufelagið), and government-linked entities—supplemented by selected Faroese enterprises in telecommunications (Føroya Tele), shipping (Skansi), aquaculture (Bakkafrost), and banking (Bank Nordik). The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, investors, parent entity, or revenue figures, and operates exclusively within a single-country market.

Direct peers

• Netcompany: Nordic-headquartered IT services and software firm that builds and operates digital government platforms (welfare, taxation, land registry, citizen identity). Directly comparable in product set and customer type to Klintra, only at much larger Nordic scale.
• CSC (Finland) / TietoEVRY: Major Nordic provider of public-sector digital services, including citizen identity, social welfare administration and government finance solutions; directly comparable in offering and customer type to Klintra.
• KMD (Nexus): Danish vendor of national-scale IT systems for welfare, taxation and citizen services. Closely comparable to Klintra in operating critical national-government digital infrastructure, albeit for Denmark rather than the Faroe Islands.
• Netlife (Visma): Visma's public-sector arm delivers eGovernment and ERP solutions to Nordic municipalities and central agencies, including citizen registries and welfare administration, mirroring Klintra's product portfolio.
• Civica: UK-based vendor of public-sector software spanning regulatory, revenues & benefits, land and citizen services. Strong analog to Klintra's mix of welfare, land registry and citizen-facing platforms.

Emerging players

• ID.me: Digital identity provider for government and healthcare services. Comparable to Klintra's Samleikin product in offering citizen identity used to access public services, though at a US/global scale.
• Signicat: Nordic-headquartered digital identity and e-signature platform used by banks and public agencies across Europe. Comparable to the digital-signature and identity-verification components of Klintra's Samleikin stack.

Others

• Onfido: Cloud identity-verification vendor already integrated into Klintra's Samleikin RA system. An enabling technology layer that Klintra depends on for online citizen onboarding, rather than a direct competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Hughes (Egencia / Sopra Steria): Large European IT services and public-sector software group with broad offerings in government digitalization. Comparable to Klintra as a buyer of custom and packaged gov-tech solutions at much larger scale.
• Accenture Public Service: Global consulting and systems integrator running large-scale government transformation programs. Comparable to Klintra in target customer (national/regional government agencies) and core delivery model (consulting plus custom software).
