History
Enonic AS were founded in 2000 by Morten Øien Eriksen and Thomas Sigdestad. The software company specialized in building services with Java, including a content management system called “Enonic CMS.” After observing different teams for application development, databases and websites working in silos toward a common goal, Enonic chose to combine the different elements to one single software. The resulting application platform Enonic XP surfaced in 2015, and included as CMS as an optional component.
The company has also been featured several times on
Deloitte's Fast 50 and Fast 500 awards, which ranks the fastest growing technology companies in Norway and globally, respectively. In 2020, 2021, and 2022, the Enonic platform was ranked as "Leader" in the SoftwareReviews Digital Experience Platform category.
