How do you know your development partner has the expertise needed to use AI well? For Cefalo, it comes down to combining certified knowledge with experience from real client projects.

Artificial intelligence is changing the way software is developed. New tools make it possible to work faster and tackle more complex challenges. At the same time, making the most of these opportunities requires both technical understanding and sound judgement. Software engineers need to know the technology’s limitations and understand how to ensure the quality of what they deliver.

Over the past two years, Cefalo has invested systematically in preparing our software engineers for this shift. We have tested different tools, established our own training programmes, and actively use Claude in our work with clients.

Expertise that benefits our clients That investment has now been recognised by Anthropic. Cefalo has reached Select level in the Claude Partner Network Services Track. We continue to build expertise, share experience across development teams, and adopt new tools where they add real value. For our clients, this means access to experienced software engineers who understand the possibilities in modern AI technology — and who also have the judgement to assess when and how it should be used. That combination is what we believe matters when companies are choosing a development partner for the years

Most publishers license their analytics tools from a third party. DN Media Group decided to build their own, and gave themselves four months to do it. With Cefalo's developers and Claude as an engineering partner, they delivered a first-party tracking platform that cut latency from one hour to less than a second – and has already lifted click-through rates by 27%.

A news publisher lives by knowing what its readers are doing right now. An hour's delay in the data makes the insight lose its relevance.

Almost everything DN Media Group knew about reader behaviour came from a licensed third-party platform that delivered one-hour-old data at best, and priced to match someone else's margins. Third-party scripts were increasingly blocked by browsers and ad blockers, making personalization, modelling and recommendations unnecessarily difficult. DN Media Group wanted full control of their own data, and ideally to save money on licence costs in the process.

With the new in-house solution, DN Media Group can now see consent respected, and all their data stored within Europe. The new platform is owned and operated by DN Media Group and staffed by the Cefalo-team, in close collaboration with DN's product, editorial and infrastructure teams.

– Results like this paints a picture of a workplace with a strong culture – something we work purposefully toward every single day, says CEO of Cefalo, Petter Gustafson.

In January 2026, Great Place to Work conducted its recognized survey among the employees of our subsidiary in Dhaka, Cefalo Bangladesh. The results confirm what last year's certification also showed: Cefalo is a workplace characterized by high trust, pride, and a strong team spirit. This is something one of our lead software engineers, Supankar Banik, also highlights. He has been with the company since 2011.

So says Partha Guha Roy, Customer Solutions Architect at Cefalo. He plays a central role in the collaboration with the Norwegian news agency NTB, and has been with us since 2012.

Partha’s story is not just about technology and architecture. It is also about trust, relationships, and long-term development, both professionally and personally.

From familiar colleagues to a familiar client – Several of the people who started Cefalo were former colleagues of mine, so joining felt natural. I knew what kind of people they were. Back then, it was all about relationships, and it still is. That is how Partha describes his decision to join Cefalo. More than a decade later, he is still motivated and clear on why.
