The Old Way is Broken
While others still debate their cloud strategy, Fortytwo builds for the way work actually happens. For real: Fortytwo is already there: building, automating, and delivering technology entirely in the cloud.
No legacy systems, no manual setups, no waiting.
Just infrastructure as code, automation, and clarity.
Fortytwo helps everyone from municipalities and defense organizations to Altibox and IKEA simplify IT with standardized, cloud-native modules for identity, security, and platform automation.
The goal: remove friction from how technology is delivered.
Code First. Cloud-Native. Always.
The Fortytwo mindset is simple: everything can be coded. Traditionally, IT means clicking through portals, ordering servers, or configuring by hand. We automate all of it, from infrastructure and access to security and compliance, as code.
That means fewer errors, faster delivery, and effortless scaling. If a customer in Norway wants to expand to the U.S., it’s a few lines of code, not a migration project.
“We don’t just use the cloud. We build in it, with it, and for it.”
Robert Darre-Nilsen, CEO, Fortytwo
The 20% That Changes Everything
Microsoft Azure covers most of what organizations need. Fortytwo covers what it doesn’t: the last 20%.
That’s where real value lies: in the specialized layers of identity, access, and automation that make technology faster, safer, and more efficient.
“Most consultancies are generalists. We’re specialists.”
Robert Darre-Nilsen, CEO Fortytwo
Each Fortytwo module is precise, lightweight, and purpose-built. They extend Microsoft’s ecosystem and are distributed through Microsoft Marketplace, used by IKEA, Deutsche Telekom, and the UK Ministry of Defence. No bloat. No overengineering. Just results.
Built Different. On Purpose.
Fortytwo isn’t structured like a typical consultancy. There are no pyramids, no bureaucracy, no dead ends.
The team operates with full transparency, and everyone contributes to decisions about hiring, investment, and direction directly in Teams. When people have ownership, they care more. When decision paths are short, innovation accelerates.
This model has scaled beyond 30 employees without losing focus or energy. Fortytwo’s culture of trust and autonomy has become one of its biggest competitive advantages.
Chat. Code. Done.
Working with Fortytwo should feel different. There are no ticketing systems, no account-manager bottlenecks.
Clients talk directly to the specialists who build their solutions, through Slack or Teams.
Need a sandbox? Ping the team. Want to test an update? Done before lunch.
Fortytwo’s flexible pricing includes time for iteration, so customers can ask questions without worrying about hourly fees.
The result: open communication, faster results, and solutions that keep improving.
We don’t do bureaucracy. We do delivery.
From Norway to the World
In just a few years, Fortytwo has grown from a Norwegian startup to a global player with more than 100 customers. Our solutions help organizations scale, secure, and automate faster, from Nordic enterprises to global brands.
New modules for identity and security are launching through the Microsoft Marketplace, giving companies more control over the tools they already pay for, without adding complexity.
The Future of IT Delivery
Fortytwo isn’t trying to be the biggest. We’re focused on being the smartest.
Code-first. Cloud-native. Zero bureaucracy. Full accountability. We believe the future of IT belongs to the ones who build differently. In the open, in the cloud, and at speed.
“We don’t just build technology. We change how it’s delivered.”
