Our work

We support higher education and research by developing, managing and operating operationally useful IT systems for universities and colleges in Sweden.

Our work involves studies, project management, IT security, development, management and server operation. In addition to this, we have a large number of services aimed solely at Umeå University that deal with everything from file space, backup services, virtual servers and operation, wireless and wired network, client management services and much more.

National assignments

The national systems for education administration, Ladok and NyA (antagning.se) are two of our biggest assignments. We also have collaborative assignments with other organizations within the public sector in Sweden and international partners.

• Antagning.se, which handles over 600,000 applications (from all over the world) to Swedish universities every year.
• Ladok, which is the study administrative system used by all universities in Sweden. During the month of January, the system was used by over 500,000 students plus 30,000 teachers and study administrators. In Ladok, merits are saved for over 4.5 million students.
• The grade database for high school qualifications. Here, grades from Sweden's high school students as well as from adult education are gathered.

Strategic assignment at Umeå University

We also have the strategic responsibility for the development of IT use at Umeå University. This means that we identify and anticipate needs in the business. We coordinate IT resources to create an efficient and uniform IT environment. We also control the IT security work so that a well-balanced and accessible security level is achieved.
