Bouvet ASA is a Norwegian IT consulting firm that helps businesses and government agencies use technology more effectively. The company provides services like software development, digital transformation, and IT advisory work. Its main customers are large organizations in Norway and Sweden, including public sector clients such as government ministries and state-owned enterprises.

Bouvet earns money by billing clients for the hours its consultants work, which is a straightforward professional services model. The company operates almost entirely in Scandinavia, with most revenue coming from Norway, and employs roughly 2,000 consultants. Its competitive strength comes from deep local relationships, a strong reputation in the Norwegian public sector, and a decentralized structure that helps it retain talent. The key risk is that demand for IT consulting can slow during economic downturns, and Bouvet faces ongoing competition from larger global firms like Accenture and Capgemini that are expanding in the Nordic region.
