Our history

Basefarm was born and raised in the Nordics. Digital is in our genes and we were founded in the year 2000 to support internet enablement. The foundation of the company is very much the same since the beginning: a transparent, honest company with a flat organization.

During the past decade, we have scaled and continuously developed our organization to sell Enterprise Level, Managed Services and Solutions to businesses. We do this by making significant investments in operations systems and tools, data centers, networks, security and complex solutions. But maybe most importantly we do this by refining the process and quality framework as well as investing in employees.

Today we are more than 550 experts in Norway, Sweden, The Netherlands, Germany and Austria.

The Basefarm group consists of four companies; Basefarm AS (Norway), Basefarm BV (Netherlands), Basefarm AB (Sweden) and The unbelievable Machine Company Gmbh (Germany and Austria).

Basefarm was top ranked in Whitelanes IT Outsourcing study Nordics 2018 and was recognized by Gartner as a Cool Vendor in the European Cloud Computing Market 2015 for our unique methodology in application management. The unbelievable Machine Company *um, part of the Basefarm group, was named Innovator of The Year 2018 by German business magazine eins Wissen and Data Analytics Leader by ISG Provider Lens Germany 2018.
