The digital agency and two-time Gazelle winners, Mediaworkers, become aware of the increasing need for better and smarter solutions for internal communications in companies and public institutions. The increasing need for better and more modern intranets grows so much, hence the idea of Colibo’s Intranet was born.

Colibo delivers its first intranet solution to Silkeborg municipality. The software was developed in close cooperation with the municipality and adapted to the complexities that occur with this type of organization. 

The platform is developed along with the Umbraco CMS system. Version 1.0 is brought to the market and offered to both public and private customers.

The maturity of the platform and customer access increases. The future Colibo Team is now secluded on their own floor in Mediaworkers.

The first international customers now use the Colibo platform during their daily work day. That happens when Clipper Group succeed in unifying the organisation and forming the Colibo platform with valuable knowledge sharing.

On a trip to Silicon Valley, it becomes clear that Colibo truly has potential in the international market. Thus begins the hunt for an investor, which was eventually rewarded by the end of 2016.

Colibo is given a two-digit million sum and the funds are used to further development of the intranet solution.

Simple. Foreseeable. User-friendly. Three qualities that describe our intranet, so naturally we had to apply that to our website as well. Therefore a new Colibo.com is created and at the same time is Colibo A/S created, and the company is now standing alone with no helping hands from Mediaworkers. 

The ERFA-convention is a part of being a customer at Colibo, which is a development community that all municipalities can benefit from when they choose Colibo Intranet. Besides the convention, the members of the community share the costs for developing new features.

Colibo is chosen for several municipal mergers in Norway, to be their intranet solution. The social platform is selected because of the meeting point that the intranet creates for internal communication.

Colibo is relocated to a fresh new office and we are now happy to call the Scandinavian Center Aarhus our new home.

IT-forum is hosting their yearly conference, and Colibo is nominated for one of their two awards – the Danske Bank-specialprisen 2017.

The theme of this year’s conference is ‘uncertainties.’ It-forum wishes to reward the companies that manage to navigate through the fast-evolving world of IT – both in regards to leadership and technology.

Colibo intranet is constantly evolving and is now offered as an independent product separate from Umbraco.

On December 6th 2018 we opened the doors for the first time to our conference IntraNEXT. It quickly showed to grow into a crowd pulling event within internal communication and the digital workplace, and we can look back at a day with more than 170 registrations.

Colibo is popular among the Danish municipalities when it comes to choosing a new intranet. The way the Colibo platform supports the complexity of every employee in the municipality is an important key feature. And is one of the major reasons why Colibo is chosen.

The survey states that Intranets continue to be the centerpiece of most digital workplace strategies, but that some applications leaders are looking at packaged solutions for a more rapid deployment and rollout to reduce the time to market.

Colibo can now be found and purchased through both Microsoft AppSource and Azure Marketplace.

Since its foundation as an independent company in December 2016, Colibo has had its eyes fixed on sustainable growth.  Now Colibo can go against the tide, and say "no thanks" for more Venture Capital.
