About Inmeta
Inmeta is one of the largest licence dealers in Norway, combined with a consultancy unit focusing on infrastructure, project management and various types of system development. Inmeta employs more than 130 people in Scandinavia, all whom have extensive experience in Inmeta’s business areas. Inmeta ASA is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange (Ticker: INM).
Inmeta Licensing
Since it was founded in 1993, Inmeta has been one of the leading volume licence partners for a range of software manufacturers. Inmeta Licensing AS supplies licences from Microsoft, Adobe, Symantec, Citrix, VMware, Oracle and others to large and medium-sized companies. The emphasis is thus on standard software that customers use consistently year after year.
Inmeta is a specialist in optimising contractual terms and conditions and licence procurements for its customers, and thus the company also handles the administrative functions that the associated contracts entail. Inmeta has been certified by the different software manufacturers to deal with the regulations that apply for the respective manufacturers. Principal focus in the area of licences is on Software Asset Management (SAM). With the leading tool on the market for the administration of licences, along with superior skills and extensive experience, we help companies to establish full control and coherence between user rights and patterns of use. We take care to protect the values that the organisation has acquired, and ensure the best possible starting point for further procurements so that companies can cut costs over time. We also offer to take over all aspects of licence administration. Inmeta Licensing has offices in Oslo and Bergen in Norway, and in Stockholm, Göteborg, and Örebro in Sweden.
