About the company

Artisan Global Media is an IT company with extensive experience in working with clients in the manufacturing, education and public sectors. We currently have 16 employees at our two offices in Växjö and Oskarshamn.

Artisan

The company was founded in 1995 and ever since our focus has been web-based IT solutions. Today our main work is on the Artologik series which consists of a range of products that have been developed in-house. We also carry out advanced projects with web technology as a basis. In addition to this we offer high quality web and ASP hosting services.  

Our goal is to help make our customers' businesses more profitable by simplifying information flows. The hallmark of our solutions and applications is ease of use, functionality and efficiency. 

We believe in an absolute commitment to each client and project, from the first meeting to the final delivery and support.

Unlike many others in the industry, we have chosen to grow organically by our own merit, guided by our Småland wisdom and entrepreneurship. With hindsight, we see that the path we have taken might not be the easy way, but definitely the right way. Our development is both healthy and stable. That provides security for both my team and for our customers.

Business idea

Our overall mission is to create functional information solutions for global media.

At Artisan we develop our own software and provide consulting services in Internet technology. Our goal is to provide functional information solutions that simplify and streamline business processes for both private businesses and the public sector.

With Internet technology we create programmes which can be used by anyone, without any technical knowledge, to gather information and interact with colleagues or customers on a website or an intranet. Turning our solutions into software that is available for a wider market through the brands Artologik and Astrakan is a key strategy to make use of Artisan's skills and our programming code that has been developed in-house.

The aim of the software series Artologik and Astrakan is to create web-based solutions that simplifies and streamlines business processes in a global market.

A vital part of the business concept is Artisan's web and ASP hosting services. These have been important services for our customers ever since we started out in 1995. The goal is still to offer computing power via the global media.

Company history

Artisan Global Media was founded in 1988. The owners had connections at Växjö University and hence the opportunity to follow the developments of the Internet early on.

The start
As one of the first customers, the Swedish School Board gives Artisan the task of creating a web site to match schools that are to work together in European projects. This was the start of the project and application PartBase. An important component of this project was to link a database to a website and this competence has been an important asset for the company ever since. Currently the European Commission owns and operates PartBase. The current version is from 1997 and over 30 000 European schools have used this service to find partners for their EU projects. PartBase is still being used and has thousands of visitors each month.  

1990s
Artisan Global Media move to Videum Science Park which is located next to Växjö University. Artisan develop several projects and products for the School Board, among other things a search system for ten audiovisual centres. By the end of the year there are about 30 customers of Artisan's web hosting services. 

Ericsson AB gives Artisan a mandate to develop a web-based requisition system.  

Artisan is a partner in the development of the first European school computer network, funded by the European Commission and Sweden.  

2000s
