At
7Mountains, we are using a product management methodology inspired by Silicon Valley Product Group and Marty Cagan. We believe in empowering people and development teams. We focus more on the difficult problems to solve than roadmaps and longterm future planning.
7Mountains was founded in 2018 by a team of broadcast engineers and software developers in Norway. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fonn Group.
In
7Mountains, we believe that the key to success as a news publisher lies in great storytelling. Broadcasters and media houses are undergoing a massive technology shift. The need for multi-platform publishing, the emergence of IP technology, cloud computing and automated workflows means the old systems for content creation and publishing need a re-think. Cost-effective news production solutions can be the key to survival for traditional news organisations in the race to win viewers and new audiences. It’s all about using more efficient tools and harnessing the power of AI and machine learning to simplify complex and time-consuming tasks, fight fake news and reach the right audiences. It’s time to leave the old legacy systems behind. They were not built for modern media workflows, and embrace the future of content creation and publishing. Collaborate across departments, embrace transparency, use AI technology, move to the cloud, work with integrated platforms, and give journalists and editors a user-friendly tool so they can spend more time on quality storytelling.
