Kantega is a Norwegian software corporation founded in 2003 with headquarters in Oslo. Kantega primarily develops bespoke software based on Java and lightweight application frameworks, identity management and digital signature solutions based on PKI and Web Services technology.
Kantega is a sponsor member of Liberty Alliance and WS-I.
Kantega was founded as an employee-owned company in 2003. However, the company can trace it roots back to Taskon—a Norwegian IT company founded in 1986. This company developed its own object orientation methodology (OORam) and OO design tools, which had some international success. Taskon contributed its object-oriented methodology to the Object Management Group during the standardization process of UML, as part of a joint standards proposal with IBM and Ptech.
Taskon merged with Numerica in 1998, and with Internet Aksess in 1999, which had launched the world's first public mobile web bank on 24. September 1999 using the emerging standard. In December 1999 the company was by the Nordic Internet Consultancy Mogul Group (publ.).
The company became the first Norwegian member of WS-I in 2002. The early focus on web services technology and standards laid the foundation for a strong position in the emerging market for solutions based on Service Oriented Architecture.
