Schibsted is huge and consists of a lot of companies running their own stack. I am not surprised to see some of that operated by IBM.

It is a good sign if it enables Schibsted to focus on becoming more like a Technology company. It is too early to tell of course.

Full disclosure: I am one of those ex-Googlers recently hired by Schibsted, and I am not working with IBM. I believe that what is happening is the most interesting thing happening in tech in Norway at the moment. Far better opportunity than the consulting companies Aqwis referred to.

I've always viewed Schibsted as a owner of media companies, VG, Blokket etc. Not a company that is producing software. That at least how I read your views. From the little I've viewed they don't do anything special on IT operations, quite boring. So it might make sense, and what I've heard is that the quality of the operations (at least in Norway) haven't been to good.
