Strategic Partnership Focused on Scaling Automation and AI Impact in Norway

SmartBPA and Differ announce a strategic partnership in Norway, combining deep, transformative business advisory with technology to maximize the impact, scale, and value of automation and AI across enterprises.

From Automation Initiatives to Enterprise Impact

As automation and AI adoption accelerates, many organizations face a common challenge: moving beyond isolated use cases to achieve scalable, enterprise-wide impact.

Differ is a leading Nordic management consulting firm with a strong presence in Norway and Sweden, supporting organizations with strategy, transformation, and digital initiatives. As a technology-agnostic partner, Differ ensures that clients adopt the right solutions based on business needs — not vendor constraints.

Despite significant investments in RPA, AI, and workflow technologies, many organizations still operate fragmented in automation landscapes. This limits visibility, control, and ultimately the ability to scale and realize full business value.

SmartBPA Catalyst addresses this by enabling organizations to unify, monitor, and manage automation across technologies — creating the foundation for scalable, governed, and value-driven automation.

A Differentiated Approach to Automation

What differentiates the SmartBPA and Differ partnership is the combination of:

• Strategic advisory with hands-on execution

• Technology-agnostic guidance with a unifying control and management layer

• Business-driven transformation with measurable operational impact

  
  

This enables organizations to accelerate automation ambitions and maximize their value and impact.

Through this partnership, Differ becomes SmartBPA’s partner in Norway, integrating Catalyst into its portfolio to help clients move from fragmented initiatives to structured, enterprise-wide automation programs, while maintaining its independent advisory role and offering solutions from multiple vendors, including SmartBPA.
