    40 Years of Pioneering Software Development

    2000s. Enea secures its position as a world-leading supplier of solutions for communications-intensive products. Consultant portion grows sharply and a
    major acquisition in Romania increases outsourcing capacity. Focus on telecoms intensifies and the product portfolio is strengthened through intensive development and acquisitions. The software offering is particularly suited for the telecom industry’s stringent demands for availability and reliability. Geographic expansion to three continents. Number of employees about 750.

    1990s. Ericsson launches its GSM project, which includes the operating system Enea OSE. The Ericsson Group becomes Enea’s biggest customer. Hard work with Enea OSE drives the company forward and upward. International establishment initiated. Number of employees goes from 153 to 493.

    1980s. Enea OSE was launched in 1985. Today it is one of the world’s most commonly used operating systems. ASEA is the biggest customer. Enea lands multi-year assignments to develop software and hardware for the police’s dispatch system. Enea becomes the base node in Swedish USENET, predecessor to today’s Internet. Sweden’s first e-mail is sent over the Internet to Enea in 1983. The number of employees goes from 75 to 153.

    We focus on our Customers's Success. It's in our genes; everything we do from high quality product development to test and training, we always do our outmost to keep the best of our customers at the heart.

    Passion for the Art of Engineering. The passion for reliable and state-of-the-art engineering is our soul and DNA. Our zest for innovation becomes a competitive advantage for our customers as we continuously develop products and services that excel.

    Team Players. To achieve the best results it takes collaboration and transfer of know-how; over geographical and organizational boundries, and between us and our customers.

    Enea Ties its Corporate Social Resonsibility to Employee Volunteer Activities

    Enea CSR-work is guided by, and focused on, employee volunteer activities. Employees are encouraged to request aid for specific humanitarian projects that they are committed to as a volunteer. Enea selects one project to support each year. The project is then followed by means of stories, updates and photos.

    The new strategy allows the company to show appreciation for volunteer efforts as well as achieving a closer tie to aid-projects.

    “By basing our CSR on the volunteer work of our employees we have found a new way to show our gratitude for their hard work. As an added bonus we also achieve a closer relationship with the projects and can follow the investment pay off”, said Per Åkerberg, President and CEO, Enea.

    The new CSR-initiative was launched in 2008. The first project to get picked out was a project helping hearing impaired in Moldova, Europe’s poorest nation. Tanja Solovej, who works in the accounting department at Enea, is a volunteer for the society for the hearing impaired in Stockholm. Over the past ten years she has been involved in a project that aims to improve the care for the hearing impaired in Moldova. Read more
