Winston Score History

The full picture

Webstep ASA is a Norwegian IT consulting firm that helps businesses solve technology problems by providing skilled software developers and IT specialists on a project basis. Its main customers are large companies and public sector organizations in Norway and Sweden that need outside tech expertise for things like software development, cloud migration, and digital transformation. The company operates in the competitive Scandinavian IT services market, where it competes with larger global consultancies as well as local rivals.

Webstep makes money by billing clients for the hours or days its consultants work, meaning revenue is closely tied to how many consultants it has and how fully they are utilized. The company operates primarily in Norway, with a smaller presence in Sweden, and generates roughly 400 million NOK in annual revenue. Its main competitive advantage is its network of experienced, senior-level consultants and its strong local reputation, but its thin margins and reliance on individual consultants mean that losing key staff or a slowdown in client spending could quickly hurt profitability.
