Company history

Artisan Global Media was founded in 1988. The owners had connections at Växjö University and hence the opportunity to follow the developments of the Internet early on.

In the beginning...
As one of the first customers, the Swedish School Board gives Artisan the task of creating a web site to match schools that are to work together in European projects. This was the start of the project and application PartBase. An important component of this project was to link a database to a website and this competence has been an important asset for the company ever since. Currently the European Commission owns and operates PartBase. The current version is from 1997 and over 30 000 European schools have used this service to find partners for their EU projects. PartBase is still being used and has thousands of visitors each month.  

1990s
Artisan Global Media move to Videum Science Park which is located next to Växjö University. Artisan develop several projects and products for the School Board, among other things a search system for ten audiovisual centres. By the end of the year there are about 30 customers of Artisan's web hosting services.
