The Enator Group was created in 1995 when Celsius AB, a Swedish listed company, merged its IT-related operations, which had been acquired during the years 1991-1994. Up until the autumn of 1994 IT operations in the present Enator were conducted in three separate subgroups within Celsius Industries: Telub, Enator and Dialog. During the autumn of 1994 the three subgroups were co-ordinated within Celsius Information System. Adedata was acquired at the beginning of 1996 and in March 1996 the name of the parent company was changed to Enator.
The merger of the three groups gave rise to a substantial restructuring program that was completed in 1997. In the spring of 1996 the group was spun off to Celsius' shareholders and listed on the "O" List of the Stockholm Stock Exchange under the Enator name.
Enator signed a co-operation agreement om 1997 with Sonera to outsource its nationwide network to Sonera which took over ownership and responsibility for operations and development of the network.
During 1998, acquisitions were made to strengthen Enator's Public Sector. In January 1998, Enator acquired 51 % of the shares of Programmera, a Stockholm-based consulting company. Enator also had an option to acquire the remaining 49 % of Programmera's shares before the year 2001. In June 1998, two small IT companies were acquired; Kvatro Telecom in Trondheim (Norway) and SoftProjekt in Hamburg (Germany). The operations in Enator Telemekanik were sold to Birka Services in August 1998. In April 1999 Enator acquired NetDesign in Denmark with offices in Copenhagen and Århus.
