Cloudberries

What Cloudberries does

Cloudberries AS is a Norwegian employee-owned IT consulting firm founded in 2018 in Oslo by Øyvind Thoresen, operating through four regional departments (Oslo, Tønsberg/Sør-Øst, Lillestrøm/Romerike, and Stavanger/Rogaland) and serving private and public sector clients exclusively within Norway. The firm does not sell software products; instead, it places senior IT consultants — averaging more than 15 years of specialist experience — at client engagements across four service lines: Development and Architecture (fullstack/backend, microservices, cloud-native on Azure/AWS/GCP, .NET/Kotlin/Java/React), Data-Driven Insights and Platforms (Databricks, Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, dbt, Spark, Kafka), Leadership and Quality (project/program management, agile delivery, enterprise architecture), and Security (ISMS, GDPR/NIS2/ISO 27000, IAM/PAM).

The business model is professional services delivery: consultants are engaged on quote-based, multi-year contracts with pricing tied to seniority and scope. Revenue is generated by billable consultant time at client sites, supported by a referral-and-network-driven sales motion led by department heads (notably Anders Larsson in Oslo). Customer segmentation is horizontal — 'companies of various sizes and industries' — with named enterprise accounts including Nortura (food/agriculture data platform) and Sporveien (transportation, cloud migration). The firm is privately held under the Norwegian Aksjeselskap structure with no external funding rounds disclosed; it explicitly markets itself as 'eies, drives og utvikles av de ansatte' (owned, driven, and developed by employees).

Operationally, Cloudberries differentiates through a flat organization (approximately 1 manager per 10 consultants), an internal 'Technology Barometer' for capability investment, and a September 2025 dual-variant salary model ('Forutsigbar' / 'Selvstyrt') that lets senior consultants choose between predictable and self-directed compensation. Commercial operations rely on a sales-led GTM with regional offices enabling localized client coverage, supported by content marketing (Multebloggen) and organic social (LinkedIn, Facebook). No revenue figures, certifications, patents, awards, partnerships, or M&A activity are disclosed in the source material.
