Case Study: NorgesGruppen achieves COVID-19 resilience and lower TCO with ION Cloud

NorgesGruppen Harnessing the power of the ION Cloud to mitigate the impact of COVID-19

NorgesGruppen, a leading grocer and food retailer in Norway, faced the dual challenge of protecting employees during COVID-19 while keeping operations running smoothly and margins under pressure from new competitors. To meet these demands they turned to ION, deploying the ION Cloud to support digitalization efforts and maintain the productivity gains they had achieved through broader transformation.

ION implemented its ION Cloud platform to host infrastructure, improve liquidity visibility for cash management and forecasting, and scale system performance to handle VPN and application spikes from remote work. The ION solution reduced total cost of ownership (ION clients see 10–30% average TCO savings), helped free internal teams for higher-value work, and supported NorgesGruppen’s continued efficiency improvements (about 15.5% optimization over five years).
