I started as a web designer at Ericsson in 1998: early web work inside the company, including the first time Ericsson streamed its press conference live over the internet.

  • Built the website, interface and slide synchronization when CEO Sven-Christer Nilsson’s press conference was streamed live, Ericsson’s first webcast (1998)
  • Web editor for Ericsson’s global guidelines for web-based information (1998)
  • Ran Eriweb, an intranet magazine and knowledge center for web developers: commissioned, edited and translated articles and wrote columns (1999). Columns from that time are still on my blog, among them “What's the Deal with WAP?”, written for an Ericsson e-zine
  • Interface for an office ordering system, Click-to-buy, adapted to the existing order flow (1999)
  • Content and interface for the WAP campaign on the web, with the agency Cappucino (1999)
  • Internal communication support when Ericsson Consumer Services introduced new support processes (1999)
  • Evaluating publishing tools (1999) – the start of a long interest in how much they differ, not just in license costs
  • HR (2000): a web-based recruitment tool from an outside supplier failed badly in the tests we set up, mainly on performance, and the project was terminated. After three months working closely with the recruiters, I reinvented the solution in Microsoft Outlook in a matter of weeks – everyone already had it open all day, most applications already arrived there, and there was no costly migration. I wrote the instructions, designed the interface and tested it.
