The Norwegian Armed Forces' selection of Ayfie's AI technology represents a watershed moment for the company's strategic partnership with Deloitte. This defense-grade validation, combined with transformative implementations at Save the Children Norway and Ruter, demonstrates how the partnership delivers secure, scalable AI solutions across Norway's most demanding organizations.
The Armed Forces, working with Deloitte, chose Ayfie to develop an AI-powered leadership support tool that analyzes employee surveys and provides strategic recommendations. The solution has generated 1 300 reports for line managers and increased leadership engagement with survey data from 50% to 75%.
"When the Norwegian Armed Forces selects your technology, it sends an unmistakable message to the market about your security and compliance standards," says Herman Sjøberg, CEO of Ayfie. "This validation, combined with our successful implementations across diverse sectors, proves that organizations don't have to choose between AI innovation and absolute data control."
The Armed Forces implementation required meeting defense-grade standards for data sovereignty, security protocols, and operational transparency – requirements that position Ayfie uniquely for organizations where data protection is non-negotiable.
The Deloitte-Ayfie partnership's ability to deliver at the highest security levels has enabled successful AI adoption across multiple sectors:
Save the Children Norway achieved remarkable adoption metrics in just three months: Weekly AI tool usage doubled from 36% to 71%, complex task automation quadrupled from 10% to 45%, and employee AI maturity nearly doubled on measurement scales.
"What excites me most is how we're moving from pilots to production at unprecedented speed," notes Sjøberg. "The same rigorous approach that earned the Armed Forces' trust is enabling Save the Children to transform their operations while maintaining complete data control."
For Ruter, Oslo and Akershus' public transportation coordinator, the partnership delivered an AI-powered strategic workforce planner that aligns hiring with their 2040 mobility vision. The solution combines global transport trends with Ruter's specific needs, demonstrating AI's evolution from operational tool to strategic advisor.
"The solution we have developed together with the Armed Forces and Ayfie provides managers with entirely new opportunities to make insight-based decisions," says Jarle Moss Hildrum, Director at Deloitte, in a recent case study. "This capability, delivered within defense-grade security requirements, is now being replicated across sectors."
The partnership has also delivered solutions for the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, Norwegian Retailers' Environment Fund, and the Norwegian Media Authority, each benefiting from the security-first approach validated by the Armed Forces selection.
"Our partnership with Deloitte has cracked the code for enterprise AI adoption," Sjøberg explains. "By meeting the Armed Forces' uncompromising standards, we've created a blueprint that works for any organization serious about AI – whether they're protecting national security or children's welfare. This is what responsible AI leadership looks like."
The strategic partnership continues to expand, with the Armed Forces validation opening doors in sectors where security and compliance have traditionally been barriers to AI adoption. The combination of Ayfie's secure technology platform and Deloitte's implementation expertise positions the partnership to lead Norway's transition to AI-powered operations across all critical sectors.
"The trajectory we're seeing with Deloitte is exceptional," adds Sjøberg. "Each successful implementation becomes a reference case that accelerates the next engagement. With the Armed Forces validation removing the last barriers to adoption in security-conscious sectors, we're looking at a fundamentally different growth curve. When organizations see that we're trusted by the Armed Forces, procurement cycles shorten, pilot phases convert to enterprise rollouts faster, and word-of-mouth becomes our strongest sales channel. This partnership model isn't just transforming how AI is delivered – it's transforming our business outlook."
