Platned launches Nordic operations with Claus Harder at the helm

Odense, Denmark – 1 July 2025

Platned is proud to announce the official launch of Platned Nordics. This strategic move marks an exciting step in Platned’s continued growth. This decision has been driven by increasing demand in the region for expert ERP services and delivery capabilities.

Claus Harder Johansen, a seasoned ERP expert and programme director of the highest regard with nearly 20 years at IFS, has been appointed as the Managing Director of Platned Nordics, to head up the new venture and brings his extensive experience in project delivery, PMO leadership, and global implementations. 

Chamara Arunoda, CEO and Co-Founder of Platned said “We’re thrilled to take this next step in our journey. Claus brings a wealth of experience, and with him leading Platned Nordics, we’re confident in delivering the same high-quality service we’re known for – now tailored for customers across Denmark and the broader Nordic region.”

Platned’s Nordic strategy focuses on growing its local presence while drawing on its skilled technical and industry consultants. While the initial focus is Denmark, the company is actively exploring opportunities to expand across the wider region.

With Platned’s proven track record of helping organisations realise more from their ERP systems, Platned Nordics is well-positioned to bring lasting value to customers through smart strategy, hands-on delivery, and real industry insight.

“Platned is the perfect match for my background and values,” said Claus. “The combination of their deep expertise and strong delivery culture gives us a fantastic platform to help Nordic customers get the most out of their ERP investments. I’m excited to get started and continue working with so many talented former IFS colleagues.”
