When a series of volcanic eruptions and thousands of earthquakes struck near the town of Grindavík, Iceland, Natural Catastrophe Insurance of Iceland (NCII) faced an extraordinary challenge. As a public institution responsible for insuring all buildings in Iceland against natural disasters, NCII had to respond to widespread and evolving damage quickly and accurately under extreme pressure.

At the time, NCII had already begun implementing Salesforce to modernize its damage reporting and claims process. The goal was to eliminate paper-based workflows, streamline evaluations, and increase automation. But when the catastrophe hit, the system was not yet fully launched. NCII had a difficult decision to make: fall back on old systems or move forward with Salesforce despite having no prior hands-on experience with it.

They chose to move forward.

With support from Advania, Salesforce was deployed in the middle of the crisis. Advania’s team provided on-site, around-the-clock support, ensured the setup was correct, and made the system fully operational under pressure. The result was a working digital workflow that handled high volumes of complex claims with speed and accuracy.

This transition proved critical. By adopting the new platform during an unfolding emergency, and with Advania’s guidance, NCII increased capacity, reduced manual work, and maintained service quality when it mattered most.

In the Swedish municipality of Höganäs, sustainability moves beyond policy into practice. In partnership with Advania, the IT department has established a circular system that extends device lifecycles while reducing environmental impact and operational costs.

The approach is simple and effective. Employees order new or refurbished devices through an internal shop. Departments pay a deposit that is refunded twice a year when used devices are returned. The returned equipment is sent to Advania for secure processing—either refurbishment for second-hand use or responsible recycling.

Since launching the system, Höganäs has processed thousands of computers, mobile phones, and tablets. The program continues to grow, with volumes nearly doubling each year.

The results are measurable. Longer device lifespans reduce the need for new manufacturing, cutting energy use and the demand for finite resources. The climate savings are already equivalent to the municipality’s annual transport emissions.
Advania’s circular IT hub in Enköping manages the technical processing and supports the municipality with ongoing expertise. Together, they are exploring improved traceability and new opportunities for local reuse.

This case shows how public sector organizations can align environmental goals with practical IT management. With clear processes and the right partnerships, circular IT creates value across sustainability, operations, and public budgets.
