About
Bertel O. Steen (BOS)
Headquartered in Norway, BOS is one of the country’s largest service and trading companies. In 2021, they had a turnover of approximately USD 2.23 billion and 2,773 full-time employees. The main group is divided into two core segments: Automotive operations and other business.
BOS previously had no dedicated EA tool. They needed a clearer understanding of how IT was supporting the business as well as how to scale to meet seismic shifts in the automobile industry towards more direct sales. Partnering with Accenture, they set out on their biggest Enterprise Architecture project yet.
