What Veni does

Veni AS is a Norwegian technology and consulting company founded in 2018 in Stavanger by three entrepreneurs in partnership with Smedvig, a 100+ year-old Norwegian group. The firm delivers integrated services across four divisions: Digital Arbeidsplass (digital workplace, Microsoft 365, Copilot, security), IT-Drift (cloud, network, and end-user support), Smarte Bygg (smart buildings, IoT sensors, building automation, Byggnett proprietary network), and Bærekraft og Energi (sustainability, BREEAM/WELL/Miljøfyrtårn certification, EU Taxonomy verification). It also runs an Agile Management practice and the Veni Bygge Smart unit, which combines building expertise with sustainability consulting for construction projects.

The company's technology stack is built around Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, and Copilot, augmented by proprietary assets including Veni Central (an Azure-hosted cloud operations platform for building management), Life@Work/Life@site (tenant-facing applications for access control, meeting room booking, and incident reporting), Byggnett (proprietary building network infrastructure), and the Stanford CIFE-certified VDC (Virtual Design and Construction) methodology. Building automation is delivered through Tridium Niagara, HPE Aruba, and Nexans Digital Ceiling. Veni holds Microsoft Solutions Partner status and Miljøfyrtårn certification.

Veni generates revenue through a mix of professional services (consulting, sustainability certification advisory, Copilot readiness assessments, Digital Coach training) and managed services (cloud, network, building operations, IT support), with pricing on a custom project or annual subscription basis. The go-to-market is consultative and proactive, led by a Sales Leader and Account Managers targeting mid-market and enterprise clients across Norway. The customer base spans aviation (Aero Norway), steel manufacturing (Nordic Steel), retail/construction (Coop Økonom), property management (Ocab), regulated industries (Option AS for outsourced CISO and ISO 27001), and the parent group's real estate portfolio (Smedvig Eiendom, the flagship anchor across award-winning projects such as Innoasis and Site 4016 ARK). The firm is headquartered in Stavanger with a secondary office in Oslo, operating entirely within Norway.
