A small town of just 24,000 inhabitants, Kristiansund has big aspirations for its citizens and believes in using technology to empower future change. Over the past few years, this has meant migrating to the cloud and using it to develop ground-breaking solutions specifically designed for its community.  From a COVID-19 platform to an AI solution tackling mental illness, these projects have been crucial in helping Kristiansund Kommune to tackle the pandemic, improve its operations and support its citizens. “Everything we do aims to help our neighbours, our community and our families. Through digitalization, we’re delivering services that drive meaningful, immediate change – change that is saving lives and empowering our people for the better.” Erik Ingebrigtsen, Head of Development and Digital Innovation at Kristiansund Kommune, is talking about the inspirational work the municipality does for its community and how technology is making it possible. “We may be a small municipality, but we have big aspirations when it comes to doing right by our citizens” says Ingebrigtsen. “And we believe that technology is the best way to do it.” As part of this vision, the organization has spent the past few years embracing the cloud to become more efficient and develop solutions designed to benefit the municipality and its inhabitants. Powered by Microsoft, the move is helping Kristiansund Kommune to quickly and easily develop solutions even in the most critical circumstances. “The past few years have been incredibly challenging for our community, who were significantly impacted by the pandemic,” says Ingebrigtsen. “Thankfully, we’ve been able to weather this by being on the cloud and having such an important digital backbone to support us.” Kristiansund Kommune is a small municipality in Norway with around 24,000 inhabitants and 2,000 employees. Based in the north-west of the country, the organization has long been dealing with various challenges, including a growing elderly population with increased health needs, climate change and declining mental health amongst young people during the height of COVID-19. According to Arild Ovesen, Head of IT at Kristiansund Kommune, addressing these challenges has been particularly tough over the past few years – particularly due to the municipality’s long tradition of manual, paper-based processes and its reliance on an outdated IT infrastructure.  “We have bold plans when it comes to finding solutions for the citizens of Kristiansund,” says Ovesen, the Head of IT at Kristiansund Kommune. “But for a long time, our IT Infrastructure was slowing us down, standing in the way of innovation.” Things have changed significantly since 2018. Under new leadership, the Norwegian municipality has embraced a huge change, making a remarkable transition from outdated infrastructure to impactful technology driven by Microsoft. “In recent years, we’ve felt the ever-increasing need to adopt and embrace a more hands-on model that would allow us to take greater ownership of our own services,” Ovesen continues. “Our goal has since been to find solutions that would make us feel more flexible and connected – and that would help give us a solid digital backbone. “In 2018, we found the answer to all these needs in Microsoft Azure.” Like the rest of the country, Kristiansund Kommune plunged into lockdown in March 2020, which suddenly created urgent need to protect those at risk and to prepare its healthcare services for a peak in cases. “Those initial days were so chaotic,” says Ingebrigtsen. “We had people needing to book tests, a shortage of various personal protective equipment (PPE) and so much more. We needed to figure out a way to stay on-top of it all.” Using Azure App Services, the organization managed to do just that. In a matter of weeks, the municipality was able to create ‘C19’, a cloud-based platform giving the organization greater control of everything happening within its healthcare services.    From bookings tests for citizens to keeping track of oxygen levels within patients and overviewing vaccination status, the platform has proved crucial for Kristiansund Kommune – helping it to save  multiple lives and avoid more than ten respiratory treatments. “These may sound like small numbers compared to other cities,” says Ingebrigtsen. “But considering that our population size is 24,000 people, the results were actually outstanding for us.” Now more than a year since the end of lockdown, the platform continues to play a crucial role – with Kristiansund Kommune using it to both schedule vaccinations and provide citizens with an optimized patient journey. “When the pandemic first hit us, we didn’t anticipate how many people would actually order a vaccine,” says Ovesen. “Thankfully, being on the cloud allowed us to be much more scalable and flexible – adjusting demand in an easy, quick way. “And to make the experience even easier, we’re using a national identification gateway that allows our citizens to connect to our network no matter where they are or what device they use.” Erik Ingebrigtsen, Head of Development and Digital Innovation, Kristiansund Kommune Beyond the pandemic, Kristiansund Kommune has been using the cloud to improve lives for all its citizens, young and old alike. In the education sector, it has been working to deliver a mental health service that encourages students to seek help from the school nurse even when remote. “When the pandemic hit, there were a lot of children sitting at home and wanting to speak to their school nurse,” says Ingebrigtsen. “Demand grew so immensely that at one point some students had a seven-week waiting time, which ended up heavily impacting their mental health. “To facilitate these meetings, we decided to create a Microsoft Teams app for students for private talks with their school nurse.” Created using Azure App Services, Azure SQL DB and Logic Apps, the app was an immediate success, and was used by students within the first two days of its release. “We made sure that the app was easy to use for both our students and the medical professionals they spoke to,” says Ingebrigtsen. “We did this by allowing nurses to use Teams to automatically input notes, thus saving them time on their patient journal system.” Beyond education, Kristiansund Kommune has found uses for its cloud platform that are having huge cost-saving benefits for healthcare and leading to better patient experiences. “In Norway, it is the municipality’s responsibility to provide some mobility aids for citizens,” explains Ingebrigtsen. “However, although this service is used every day, it’s very technologically primitive. “Normally, at the end of a patient’s stay in a hospital, a doctor assigns mobility aids to them,” he continues. “However, sometimes the aid is not in stock and so the patient might have to wait, sometimes even resulting in a longer hospital stay. This is very costly for the healthcare sector and a bad experience for the patient.” Moreover, if the municipality is unable to provide an aid for a patient, they can incur financial penalties in the form of fines. So, Kristiansund Kommune created a portal using Microsoft Azure to digitalize the process and improve the service. By using symptoms and other factors to predict what aids patients might need before they are ready to leave, and checking that the correct stock is available, the organization can either reserve aids in stock or order new ones. This reduces patients’ time spent in hospital and allows the municipality to make considerable cost savings. It is something that is attracting the attention of other municipalities keen to reduce costs across Norway. “We’re now expanding this service using AI and Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services to predict what mobility aids are needed,” says Ingebrigtsen. “This is attracting attention even beyond our city; we have mounting interest all over Norwegian municipalities for it.” Looking to the future, Kristiansund Kommune has big and inspiring ideas for the potential of AI to help its citizens. “We believe that the future of our municipality lies in combining data with transformative technologies like AI,” says Ovesen. “This allows us to make much more informed decisions on priorities and services – all while keeping a peace of mind thanks to our zero-trust approach and the security that Azure comes with.” Kristiansund Kommune plans to expand these technologies beyond Kristiansund’s boundaries and offer them to other municipalities both within Norway and abroad. “We’ve seen a lot of admiration for the work we do for our citizens from other government bodies,” Says Ingebrigtsen. “So, we have a lot of hope for the future of this software.” Though the organization is only at the beginning of its digital transformation, it has high hopes and expectations for the future of its projects. More so than that, the municipality believes that this new technology will truly improve the lives of its citizens. “Our citizens are beyond satisfied with our services, particularly because we go the extra mile in helping them and supporting them,” concludes Ingebrigtsen. “All of this is helping us to drive cultural change in our society. “This is really what’s making us so proud about this project: using technology, we’re able to drive meaningful change that allows our community to thrive.”  We are Microsoft Empowering others Our mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.

Walk into any shop, cafe or bar and ask about Kristiansund's most famous son and you'll get a sincere, gushing response about the local boy done good. His sister is a neighbour to one, his kids go to school with another. During his time with Norwegian club Molde, the Baby-Faced Assassin would make a two-hour round trip to train the pros there in the morning. In the afternoon, he would return to boyhood club Clausenengen and help out in training sessions at the club, where two of his three kids still play. When Solskjaer was named interim boss, the Hollywood sign on a hill in Kristiansund had the famous banner: '2OLegend' Although he has gone on to fame and riches in Manchester, Solskjaer has never really left the city. He owns a number of properties around the four islands and most of his immediate and extended family are here, active members in the local community. Whenever he's back in town, Ole Gunnar - as everyone calls him - is the kindest, most down to earth person they have met. He always has time for people, will smile and wave as he walks past, or will share a quick chat at the supermarket. Younger people will stop him for selfies for autographs and he never says no. The 46-year-old is a point of pride for locals, who are still amazed someone from their small corner of the world not only became one ofootball's biggest stars during his playing days at Old Trafford, but is now leading the players so well since taking the job.

He said: "While his father was more effective the closer he came to the box, Noah is more the one who sets up the attacks. "He has lots of skills and football understanding - Noah has gone to a good school. "He and several of these youngsters have been with us for a while. "We knew they were good football players, but what is fun is that we see that they are taking the level more and more. "It's great for them and fun for us to see them grow well." Noah started out playing up front, but as he grew older he moved further back into the midfield. He is now regarded as a deep lying midfielder bringing others into the game with his passing and creativity. And the youngster admits the player he tried to base his game on is someone close to his dad - United coach Michael Carrick. He said: "I have a small role model in Michael Carrick. but the longer it has gone on I have gone further back in the side "I'm now more of a number six in midfield than a number 10 United will travel to Norway on the back of an impressive tour of Australia and the Far East which saw them win all four matches including a fiery 2-1 victory over Spurs on Thursday • Former Manchester United striker to assist at hometown club• Striker Torbjorn Agdestein: ‘We’re feeling star-struck’• Solskjaer left Cardiff last year over ‘difference in philosophy’ Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who left his job at Cardiff City last September has agreed a deal to assist the coach of his hometown club The former Manchester United striker has reportedly agreed to become the side’s “guest coach” once a week Dagbladet quoted Solskjaer saying: “It’s just fun to be able to contribute a little,” while Olsen explained: “He was famous throughout his career The Kristiansund BK striker Torbjorn Agdestein admitted the players were feeling “star-struck” by the prospect of working with Solskjaer and started his career with the local team Clausenengen FK a club created in 2003 by a merger between Kristiansund FK and Clausenengen The helicopters are type Sikorsky S92 (photo) Statoil needs to have four transport service helicopters in Kristiansund one search and rescue helicopter on Heidrun as well as a replacement helicopter for the rescue helicopter The Kristiansund contract has a duration of five years and seven months The duration of the contracts for Brønnøysund and Heidrun are five years All three contracts have extension options for up to three years Jannicke Hilland, head of Joint operations in Statoil "Our activity level in the Norwegian Sea is high These contracts will help make us more robust in meeting the needs for helicopter services in the area in the years to come," says Jannicke Hilland, head of Joint operations in Statoil "Statoil opted to split the helicopter activity in the Norwegian Sea among three contracts to ensure full competition won the competitions for all three contracts This allows us to achieve economies of scale in the form of reduced costs and future flexibility," says Jon Arnt Jacobsen, head of procurement in Statoil Statoil has reserved the right to adjust the number of helicopters during the contract period Statoil and CHC Helikopter Service have also agreed that Statoil will have the flexibility of moving helicopters between the bases Jon Arnt Jacobsen, head of procurement in Statoil The estimated total value of the contracts is approximately NOK 5 billion including options for extensions and contract expansions The expansion option ensures helicopter resources for potential new platforms in the region The contract award is one of the largest civil sector helicopter awards ever made Four of the helicopters are type Sikorsky S92 three are Eurocopter EC225 and one is a Eurocopter L1 The latter is a search and rescue helicopter and is the same type as the one currently used on Heidrun All of the helicopters will be upgraded to comply with the latest standards before the contracts commence Statoil has helicopter flights from six bases in Norway: Sola There are search and rescue helicopters stationed offshore at Oseberg The flights from Kristiansund will run to facilities including Heidrun Flights from Brønnøysund will include destinations such as Norne Flights to the drilling rigs in the area at any given time will come in addition to this Sport | Football | Manchester United Manchester United sealed a late 1-0 victory over Kristiansund in Norway as the Solskjaer family added another super-sub to their ranks Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's son Noah has risen through the Kristiansund youth ranks and the 19-year-old came on in the last few minutes of the match to face his father's side The Red Devils had dominated the contest in Oslo, and got a deserved winner as Juan Mata won and scored an injury-time penalty to ensure the club maintained their 100 per cent pre-season record United enjoyed 73 per cent of possession and had 32 shots to Kristiansund's five with some wayward finishing perhaps the only negative for Solskjaer in the Norwegian capital Tahith Chong and Fred all went close for United as Sondre Sorli missed a golden chance at the other end but Mata was felled by Andreas Vaikla before stepping up to net from 12 yards in injury time Can't see the blog?

READ MORE NewsInEnglish.no is a free and independent Oslo-based website offering news from Norway It’s run on a voluntary basis by veteran journalists keen to share insight into Norwegian politics ON the weekend he was appointed Manchester United's permanent manager, SunSport travelled to Kristiansund - a Norwegian city with a population a third of the size of Old Trafford - to learn how a small boy from this corner of the world won the biggest job in English football. Over three days we learnt how Solskjaer and his family are still a massive part of the community and how nobody here will stand to hear a bad word said against the local lad done good. NOBODY in Kristiansund wanted to miss this game - even the Liverpool fans begrudgingly admire Ole Gunnar Solskjaer round here. The streets and shops were empty by the time Manchester United kicked-off against Watford, with locals rushing home and packing into bars to watch the city's most famous son. His face is regularly on the front and back of the local newspaper and they even changed their version of the Hollywood sign to read '20 Legend'. And it's not just because the United boss put this town on the map - it's because everyone knows Ole Gunnar and the Solskjaers, most of whom still live here, like close friends. Although Solskjaer won six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, scored a famous winner in the Champions League final and is now manager of one of the biggest clubs in the world, he has never had any ego. Solskjaer was 19 when he decided he wanted to be one of the best footballers Norway has ever produced. Before then, the fair-haired and freckled teen was clearly the best player in his home town, the small fishing city of Kristiansund, scoring nine goals in one game and 14 in another for local club Clausenengen. But Kristiansund's total population is just 25,000, a third of the capacity of Old Trafford, where Solskjaer now finds himself permanent manager. As a youngster, the United boss helped Clausenengen reach the second division of Norwegian football before leaving for Molde at 21. A handful of players from this close-knit, wind-swept town have made the step to the top flight and won international caps. To score a winning goal in a Champions League final for one of the biggest clubs in world football, and then manage that same team, is a journey none are likely to make again. Jan Trygve Pedersen is a former team-mate who is now in charge of Clausenengen, a club that trains 400 local kids. Two of Solskjaer's three kids, his youngest son and daughter, play at the club, while his eldest has just left - to join Kristiansund BK, the relatively new professional club that finished fifth in the Norwegian top flight last season. Noah is expected to play in the reserves this season but will likely spend time training with the pros. Standing by an artificial pitch where a kids' tournament is being held, Pedersen tells SunSport: "Ole Gunnar was a late starter. "He was a small kid until he started to grow at 18. "When he was 19, something happened and he took a big step in our club. "He became focused to be the best, he trained a lot and on specific things. He had that [desire]." Solskjaer had always been an athletic child who excelled in all sports - except one. His father, Oivind, had been Norway's Greco-Roman wrestling champion for six years between 1966 and 1971 and had competed at European level and the World Wrestling Championships in 1970. Solskjaer Sr introduced Ole Gunnar to the sport when he was eight - but as Solskjaer would later admit, he wasn't very good and hated being "tossed around" by bigger boys. "His father took him to the wrestling arena and he tried the sport, but it didn't suit him. He was small for his age," Frank Olsen laughs as he recalls a young Ole's attempts at wrestling. Sat at a cafe where he and his friends meet to drink coffee and share news every Friday, Frank is a typical Kristiansund resident. Everyone has a connection to Ole Gunnar and the Solskjaers, everyone has a tale about the local boy done good and everyone adores the city's most famous son. Looking out of his kitchen window with a coffee and cigarette, Yngve Johansen recalls his time teaching Solskjaer at the Dalabrekka primary school. "I had him from 1980 to 1986, in gymnastics," the retired teacher says, "He was quiet. He was not the kind of person to say: 'Here I am.'" Solskjaer would always carry a ball under his arm and spent hours kicking it against a wall. Johansen says that even at that age he had to stack the odds against Solskjaer as he was clearly much better than his classmates. "We only had 13 boys in the class. Whenever we played, I had to regulate it because Ole was so good. "In one competition we had three teams, Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham. "I had Ole Gunnar playing for United. Guess who was the team's star..." Kristiansund has its very own Hollywood sign, sitting on a cliff overlooking the city. When Solskjaer was named interim boss in December, the sign was changed to that famous Old Trafford banner: '20 Legend'. The United boss is a massive part of the community. His sister lives in his childhood home and you can see the house he has bought his parents from the driveway. His wife, who met Solskjaer while she also played football at Clausenengen, and their three children still live in the city. Locals say that Solskjaer is "normal" and "relaxed" around town, he will chat at the supermarket and ask after friends. Younger fans will stop him for pictures and autographs and he always has time. He does not act like a superstar and no one treats him like one. While he was manager of Molde, Solskjaer lived in Kristiansund and commuted an hour each way for his day job. After returning from work, he would drop in on his kids to help with their football training sessions. "He is a big inspiration for them," says Stig Flemmen, another coach on Ole's impact on the youngsters. "He makes it possible, to come from a small place and go to the big stage." Flemmen, a Manchester United fan who played for Solskjaer's "big rivals" growing up, knows first hand how it feels to be put to the sword by the striker. Solskjaer was their "main man" who would "score all the goals" in matches between the two sides. "We mostly lost by one or two goals and it was always him," he says. But Solskjaer's success in the dugout isn't a surprise, he "always" had the characteristics to be a top manager. "He's always down to Earth - he's just a normal guy," says Flemmen. "He's a really fantastic person and he knows the United DNA. "It's unbelievable that he's come from Kristiansund to one of the toughest jobs in the world. It's fantastic for us who know him, we're very proud of it." He always respects every player and person he meets "That's probably why he can handle players like [Paul] Pogba." In the main reception at Clausenengen there is a large framed picture of a young boy next to a picture of Solskjaer's famous celebration from the Nou Camp in 1999 It reads: 'The dream can be real.'

even if it was against him Noah came on as a second-half substitute for Norwegian side Kristiansund in their 1-0 defeat to Manchester United And there was a tender moment on the sidelines as the 19-year-old prepared to enter the field of play who had his other son Elia in the dugout with him But the teen didn't have too much time to impress as he entered in the 85th minute In the end it was Juan Mata who proved the hero as he won, and then scored a penalty in the 90th minute. Speaking about his son's special night, Ole said: “Of course Noah makes his debut for them in front of 28,000, it’s not very often a Norwegian does. "And Elia next to me enjoyed it and that’s what it’s about when you come back here. "Their players have been in our dressing room, changed shirts, swapped shirts, taken pictures, they’ve been absolutely outstanding our boys, they’re a joy to see now. "The group, the camaraderie is good, atmosphere is really good so hopefully we’ll get that into results when the league starts.” Kristiansund manager Christian Michelsen seems to have high hopes for Solskjaer Jr. Speaking before the game, he said: "While his father was more effective the closer he came to the box, Noah is more the one who sets up the attacks. 31 Jul 2019MANCHESTER UNITED new boy Daniel James is "proud" to have become the world's most expensive mascot The £15million Wales winger posted a cheeky chap of himself joining the matchday kids in the front row - rather than his team-mates at the back - in a squad photo for the 1-0 friendly win at Kristiansund Some of the schoolboy mascots in the line-up can be seen gazing up at the colossus in their ranks And certainly James has made a giant leap in his career this summer after swapping mid-table Championship side Swansea for Premier League big boys United. The 21-year-old tweeted a four-picture compilation of his mascot antics with the words: "Proud moment to walk out with the team yesterday as the club mascot 😄😂" But that attracted some comments that would have made even Swansea's Cyril the Swan and United's Fred the Red cover their innocent eyes. James posing with the mascots instead of the players was an open goal to doubters of such a raw talent, still unproven at the highest level. One sceptic said: "Literally has nothing to his game but pace. Should’ve just given Usain Bolt the contract when he wanted it." And another urged James: "Improve your decision making. cheers." And one hit back by ridiculing those who are already writing James off can’t learn that’s why Vardy was a Premier league quality striker when he was playing for Halifax town Or how Ronaldo went from quick talented flashy kid to one of the best to ever play."

The 19-year-old is a midfielder, looking to make a name for himself in his own right. Unlike his forward legend father Ole, Noah is less about scoring goals and more about setting up attacks, with the youngster's manager Christian Michelsen claiming he is trying to base his game on Michael Carrick. The youngster is currently rising through the ranks at Kristiansund - the hometown club of his father. but could be set for a remarkable debut against his father's side Man Utd His coach Michelsen said ahead of Tuesday's match: "He has lots of skills and football understanding - Noah has gone to a good school "He and several of these youngsters have been with us for a while "We knew they were good football players but what is fun is that we see that they are taking the level more and more Noah began the game on the bench - but came on to face his father's team in the final minutes
