  • Attractive Earnings Growth Profile Offset by 21E P/E of ~20.5X for Now

Indeed, while core digital services gross profit grew 14% (12.1% YTD) from among other access to the worlds 4th largest IT pool with # of employees end-of period up 13 QoQ (63 YoY), this revenue stream make up ~80% of revenues. Data center transformation (~20% of revenues) continue to weight on EBIT margins (2.9% margin YTD vs. blended EBIT margin of 10.1%), meaning gradual margin improvement with transformation to cloud that will accelerate next 6-12 months (99% of revenues will come from core digital business as of 4Q21). Coupled with trailing 12m FCFE per share of ~NOK0.8, consistent high distribution is also sustainable (NOK0.75 this year). However, when peers with similar 2021 EBIT margins and just slightly lower 2020-2022 revenue CAGR trades at ’21e P/E of 19x, we argue ITE at 20.5x reflect the abovementioned investment case for now.

  • Global Outsourcing Av IT-Prosjekter: Veien Til Suksess?
    FORORD Denne masteroppgaven markerer slutten på mitt masterstudium i Økonomi og Administrasjon ved Handelshøyskolen ved Universitetet for miljø- og biovitenskap (UMB). Arbeidet med oppgaven har vært en lang, til tider krevende, men ikke minst spennende og lærerik prosess. Masteroppgaven tar for seg styring og organisering av norske outsourcingsprosesser av IT-prosjekter til Ukraina. Jeg vil takke alle som har bidratt til å gjøre denne oppgaven mulig. For det første vil jeg takke alle mine informanter som satte av sin tid til å dele sine erfaringer i en ellers travel hverdag. Takk for at dere fant tid til å stille opp til intervjuer og på den måten har vært en viktig ressurs for oppgaven. Videre vil jeg takke min veileder, dosent i foretaksøkonomi Kjell Gunnar Hoff for god veiledning, oppfølging og tilbakemeldinger gjennom hele prosessen. Til slutt er det en stor takk til mine venner og familie for all støtte, tålmodighet og motivasjon under oppgaveskrivningen. Oslo, 15/12-2013 Natalia Vorobieva I SAMMENDRAG Global outsourcing, eller relokasjon av forretningsprosesser til utlandet, til områder med lavere lønnskostnader og kvalifiserte menneskelige ressurser, har vært en økende trend i Europa og resten av verden. Et av landene i Europa som er en populær destinasjon for IT-outsourcing er Ukraina. I Norge er det fire norske IT-bedrifter som driver outsourcing til landet: Evry ASA, Itera ASA, Scandinavian House AS og City Media Digital AS. For å kunne lykkes med global IT-outsourcing trenger en å lære hvordan denne prosessen kan styres og hvordan man kan unngå typiske fallgruver i outsourcingsprosessen. Det har derfor vært interessant å studere erfaringene til de fire bedriftene, som har oppnådd suksess med sine outsourcingsprosesser til Ukraina.
