- if you Set up this correctly and personaliserer a part of the front page based on each user’s lesermønster, you will get the traffic by several tens of percentages. There are some ad impressions, and if we, through personalization, also can make on VG nett’s gratislesere to VG Plus subscribers, so is it good? I’m not saying that the VG makes it bad, but with our solution they can do it much better, ” said Bjørnstad to the Campaign yesterday.

Ready with a private test version
At Tuesday’s investor day it came out that Schibsted succeed well in the market for the payment digitally.

Expensive technology-race
But at the same time with the Cxense now offers the Norwegian media group, with a market capitalisation of over 50 billion, the ability to tailor the news to your users, continues Schibsted to burn off large sums of money to develop their new digital ecosystem.

Analysts Campaign spoke with at capital markets day, estimated konsernkostnadene to around 350 million in the year, so that the pure tekonologiutvikling in the form of people, licenses, software, servers, and locations including London and Barcelona thus located at a hefty 300-350 million a year.

- it Is easier to build yourself than to buy the various components on the market?

It goes on about a “build or buy” and there is ongoing discussion and when the question is what is it that is the absolute core of what you do and what is less core. Where we have ongoing discussions. The stock exchanges of AppNexus, we have realized that we are going to build, while publiseringsplattformen Schibsted Media Platform we believe we are a part of the core area our and something we should do yourself, ” says Ryssdal.

- does not rule out cooperation
Without commenting on the numbers, ” says Ryssdal that the personalization is located inside the total utviklingsløpet to Schibsted.

- do you Have a clear plan on what to do or is it trial and error?

we get a little bit back to, but it is clear that there will be some experimentation here.

And then it can be an opportunity to use the Cxense?

and we come back to, but we should not rule out a few things, ” says Schibsted-boss.
