The Norwegian Cancer Society: The foremost source on cancer in Norway

The Norwegian Cancer Society works to reduce the number of people getting cancer, to increase the number of people surviving cancer and to improve the quality of life for patients and their families. In order for them to share their experience and knowledge, they need good tools. Through close collaboration, we have created a flexible and robust website that frees them to focus on their important educational work.

Who

The Norwegian Cancer Society is one of Norway's largest organizations working to improve the quality of life of people with cancer and their families. They also work actively to provide information, spread knowledge and promote research into the prevention and treatment of cancer.

The challenge

The Norwegian Cancer Society wanted a flexible and agile web solution that could be easily maintained, adapted to users and provide the ability to easily create subpages and campaign pages as needed. 

When Dekode took over the code, the goal was to develop a solution with an eye on performance. By using WordPress in a standardized way, we created a future-proof and stable website.

When we were looking for a new partner, Dekode was the natural choice. They were able to offer us a close collaboration as well as allowing us to own our own source code and not lock ourselves into systems that offer little flexibility.

Tor Mikael Kristensen, IT Manager at the Norwegian Cancer Society

Kreftforeningen.no has a very important role as an online information office for users who need quality-assured knowledge from someone they can trust. Through close collaboration with a long-term perspective, we built a robust and flexible tool so that the Norwegian Cancer Society can focus on the important job of creating good communication and information about cancer.

The result

Just months after the start of the project, the Norwegian Cancer Society got a website that is both fast and robust. The collaboration has a fixed sprint every month. This creates predictability, consistent investment from both parties and ensures continuous further development. The new website also includes the 16 subpages and the online store.

We have written a case study about the exciting collaboration between Dekode and the Norwegian Cancer Society. Click here to receive a digital version of "Kreftforeningen - fra leverandøravhengig til selvstendig".

"I don't think many people can offer the flexibility we've gained through Dekode . The fact that Dekode gives us freedom through the way we work together, by giving our developer access to the solution and by merging Dekode's team with ours, means that we have gained mutual trust.
