Akureyrarbær
With a population of around 19,000 in the town of Akureyri, it has a dynamic higher education sector and is among the largest fishing and fish processing centers in Iceland. Managing a complex and aging technology landscape riddled with custom codes and complex interaction rules, the government agency needed to modernize its operations.
