GEMA Selects EVRY
New Associate Member Becomes Exclusive MMS Partner for Nordics Region
STOCKHOLM, LONDON and ZURICH, xx 2014 – The Global Enterprise Mobility Alliance (GEMA), the
world’s leading independent joint venture providing enterprise mobility managed services (MMS) to
multinational organisations, today announced it has signed a new agreement with the leading Nordics IT
service provider EVRY ASA (Oslo Stock Exchange: EVRY) as the joint venture’s exclusive member for the
Nordic region. The partnership significantly boosts the alliance’s managed enterprise mobility service
capabilities and presence in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland.
Headquartered in Stockholm, EVRY is the second largest IT services company in the Nordics, with 10,000
employees, offices across 50 Nordic towns and cities and more than 14,000 public and private sector
customers. EVRY is the product of the largest-ever Nordic IT merger between Norway’s two largest IT
companies; EDB and ErgoGroup. The firm’s mobile division, employing over 50 people, has provided a
full lifecycle of managed mobile IT services to Nordic enterprises for over 15 years.
As a result of the agreement, EVRY will become GEMA’s exclusive member covering the Nordic region
for GEMA and the joint venture’s 13th member overall, including its sixth partner in Europe. EVRY’s entry
represents a growth of over 100% in new members in GEMA in under 12 months.
GEMA’s CEO Nicholas McQuire said: “The addition of EVRY in GEMA unquestionably enhances our
market-leading, locally-delivered, managed enterprise mobility service platform for multinationals. EVRY
are the clear local leaders in IT services across the mobile and traditional IT stacks and we are proud that
global organisations inside and outside of the Nordic region can now look to expand the support of their
mobility projects through the partnership of EVRY-GEMA.”
McQuire added: “As exclusive joint-venture partners, our members continue to deepen their strategic
and operational coordination within GEMA as customer and market demands grow in speed and
complexity. I am very excited by capabilities EVRY brings to the rapidly-growing GEMA member
community as well.”
