How Magnus is building a better working world

Companies, organizations and even countries can create great values through digitalization. Scarce resources can be released and make better use elsewhere.

At EY we work with these issues daily. But I have also had the privilege of founding and leading two pioneer companies. For example, as early as 1999 I founded Proceedo – one of the world's first SaaS companies with a subscription-based pricing. The company was also Sweden's first supplier of business applications, which of course was challenging. The business idea was to provide an electronic marketplace that mediate commercial transactions between organizations.

Every year, millions of digitized purchasing processes are carried out, transactions that previously required countless hours of administration. In the public sector alone, the SaaS solution saves at least SEK1 billion per year. That is money that hopefully makes better use elsewhere.
