Overview
Delivered Norwegian-to-English translation and QA review of SpareBank 1 Markets' website content, covering their research, corporate finance and capital markets service lines.
Who This Is For
Industry associations, export promotion bodies, global NGOs, or international organisations producing high volumes of content for distribution across 10-30+ countries and languages. Typically managing reports, infographics, video, presentations, and web content across multiple CMS platforms simultaneously.
The Challenge
SpareBank 1 Markets, a leading Norwegian investment bank, needed its site content, covering sales, research, corporate finance, corporate access, and debt and equity capital markets, professionally translated and QA'd for an English-speaking audience.
Our Approach
Under a signed offer prepared for named contact Caroline B. Støtvig by the team now behind ECM.DEV, we translated the bank's core service pages, then reviewed and revised every translated page in a dedicated QA pass before delivery.
Impact
The work gave an English-speaking audience an accurate, professionally reviewed account of a top-ranked Norwegian investment bank's services, not a raw machine-style translation.
Delivered while employed at Making Waves (later NoA Ignite); personally authored the offer and reviewed the translated deliverables for SpareBank 1 Markets. Any public information referenced here is used for identification and does not imply endorsement.

Dries Buytaert: The cost of running multiple CMS platforms
Dries Buytaert argues that running multiple CMS platforms creates hidden operational costs through duplicated integrations, security policies, expertise, and governance. He proposes standardizing on Drupal while using different operating models—SaaS (Acquia Source) for speed and PaaS (Acquia Cloud) for control—to preserve flexibility while reducing fragmentation.
