“We are very excited about this contract” says Rickard Lönneborg, CEO for CodeMill AB. Johanna Björklund, Deputy CEO and head of Research and Development, continues: “many of our current clients are located in London and the UK, and it’s a region we would like to continue growing in”.

Codemill is a Swedish IT development company with expertise in systems and analysis for a wide range of media. Codemill will customize the media management system Cantemo Portal™ to suit the workflows at GNM.  It will focus on making the system more efficient, secure and speedier for the management of video content for journalists and editors, so that video can reach the web at a faster rate. For this project, CodeMill will be working closely with the London-based company NMR who will be in charge of the installation of Cantemo Portal™.

For CodeMill, this project is a confirmation of their position as a meaningful partner in tailored systems for video production and other media. It also means a growth for the company as Rickard Lönneborg, CEO confirms they will take on extra staff during this year.
