Crayon is becoming SoftwareOne. Together as one.

No, there will be no immediate changes. At this point, the combination of Crayon and SoftwareOne means Business as Usual. Our future combined Services organisation will continue to deliver services to our partners with high quality as per existing agreements. Combining the Services organisations aims at growing the business by leveraging synergies and complementary items in the portfolios resulting in a stronger positioning as a company. SoftwareOne and Crayon share a common focus on their portfolios. We have a tremendous opportunity to learn from one another and the market – insights we intend to channel into meaningful improvements in the coming months.

Existing contracts and agreements will continue to apply. Any changes in the future will be communicated clearly and in a timely manner.

Not at this stage, as the Crayon legal entities will remain in place for now, meaning current contracts will continue to apply. Over time, if there are changes such as a merger of legal entities or a shift in how certain services are provided, some contract updates may be necessary, typically during renewals or when adopting new offerings. Partners will not be asked to sign a new agreement unless there's a specific reason to do so.

If changes become necessary, they will be clearly communicated.

We will maintain a partner-centric approach where channel partners have the final say on how they want to be managed moving forward. We will ensure prompt and proper communication with our partners regarding the next relevant steps.

The formal integration started on Day One (July 3, 2025).

While planning has been underway for some time, we are now moving into the execution phase. The channel integration is happening in stages over the coming months, the Crayon Channel brand is scheduled to take effect in October 2026.

The integration is being led jointly by teams from Crayon and SoftwareOne, with close collaboration across key functions.

Following a careful and collaborative evaluation by a joint team from both companies, the decision was made to move forward under the SoftwareOne name and logo for the unified organisation.

While the SoftwareOne name will serve as our shared brand, this is not a continuation of one company over the other. Crayon’s strong Scandinavian roots, values-driven culture, partner-first and customer-centric tone of voice, and refined visual identity have played a defining role in shaping the joint future. These attributes will be thoughtfully embedded into an evolved brand expression and will serve to elevate the way both companies represent themselves globally.

Throughout a transition period, the Crayon brand will remain in place. This is especially significant for our channel and partner ecosystem, ensuring consistency, continuity, and recognition across our trusted partner relationships.

There are no changes at this time. As for the future, it is too early to provide details. However, it is important to note that commitment to social issues and local communities is a key pillar of both companies.
