Banyan Software Enters Norway by Welcoming Presight Solutions

Banyan Software, a leading acquirer and operator of mission-critical software businesses, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Presight Solutions AS, a Norway-based SaaS company delivering advanced software for safety, operational integrity, and regulatory compliance in high-risk industries. The acquisition marks a new chapter for Presight, strengthening its ability to scale while maintaining the product focus, industry depth, and customer trust that have defined the company since its founding in 2003.

Over more than two decades, Presight has evolved from solving practical, on-the-ground safety and compliance challenges into a specialized software platform embedded in customers’ daily operations. What began as a tool to replace fragmented and manual processes, has grown into a purpose-built platform supporting continuous oversight and regulatory compliance used across critical industrial operations. Today, Presight supports a growing international customer base and plays an integral role in daily operational oversight and regulatory compliance. Trusted by companies like Equinor, Stena Drilling, Vår Energi and Akofs.

Presight was built to solve real, operational problems for teams working in high-risk environments. As we looked for a long-term partner, Banyan stood out for their deep experience with mission-critical software and their thoughtful, long-term approach to growth. Just as important, they share our commitment to our people, our customers, and the integrity of the product we’ve built. That alignment gives us strong confidence in the next chapter for Presight.

Petter Holst Johnsen, CEO of Presight

As founders, preserving that legacy mattered deeply to us. Banyan understands what has made Presight successful and shares our view that the company’s future should be about building on that foundation – strengthening the platform, supporting the team, and ensuring continuity for customers as the business enters its next phase.

Jørgen Waaler, Chairman of Presight Solutions

What impressed us about Presight is the combination of deep industry understanding and a disciplined approach to product development. We are excited to support Petter and the whole Presight team as they continue to lead the business. With their expertise and our support, Presight is well positioned to grow into new markets while staying grounded in the values that have shaped its success.

Julie Koegenboeg, Head of Northern Europe at Banyan Software

With the acquisition of Presight, Banyan now operates two businesses in the Nordic region and has recently opened an office in Stockholm with a local team to better serve and expand its regional portfolio.
