ABOUT US

AND THE GHOST JOURNEY

We are a Stockholm-based company with a branch in Gävle – because why not have a second home where the air is fresh and the coffee strong?

The founders and tech team behind Ghost Labs and Ghost Nodes go way back — so far back that our shared history could probably fill a decent-sized novel.

With over 120 years of combined experience in integration and change management, we can confidently say that few 6-year-old companies have this much wisdom packed into their team.

The result of all that experience?
Ghost Nodes — the platform that makes systems speak human, handling logic, automation, AI, and seamless flows across IT, OT, and beyond.

Making Systems Speak Human

Ghost Nodes is a Swedish‑built platform designed to simplify business connectivity — whether your systems are legacy or modern, on‑prem or in the cloud.

By automating integrations and orchestrating AI‑powered workflows, Ghost Nodes reduces manual work, cuts costs, and ensures real‑time data flows for smarter decisions.

Most integration tasks can be handled internally, by clients, through intuitive drag‑and‑drop functionality, requiring little to no coding. So simple even the HR manager could do it.

The result: faster projects, significantly lower costs, and a solution that scales flexibly as your business grows.

Experience Meets Curiosity

Behind Ghost Nodes stands Ghost Labs — we are a team of integration veterans with roots in BizTalk and C‑Talk. With over 120 years of combined experience in enterprise systems, change management, and innovation, we have faced every challenge and built solutions that last.

But experience alone isn’t enough: our culture of curiosity drives us to explore new technologies, rethink old assumptions, and design integrations that are as rigorous as they are playful.

The result: a team that blends wisdom with energy — building flows for the future.

The Ghost journey

Late 1990s

From C-Talk to Biztalk

In the late 1990s, several team members were involved in developing C-Talk, based on XML-RPC, later know as SOAP. This allowed C-Talk to send and receive complex data structures over HTTP, and would later become a huge inspiration for Microsoft when developing BizTalk.

Early 2000s

From BizTalk to iBridge

In the early 2000s, one of our Senior Advisors was elected to Microsoft Advisory Board and personally received an award from Bill Gates for the successes achieved with C-talk. However, by the following year, the tech team behind C-talk realised that a centralized architecture like BizTalk had its limitations. In response, they developed a distributed version of BizTalk, called iBridge, which earned them first prize in Microsoft .net Awards.

2013

Think tank – Duqtor

In 2013, the future founders of Ghost Labs launched the think tank Duqtor in collaboration with Stockholm University and KTH (Royal Institute of Technology), focusing on applied research in digital strategies. More than 30 Swedish CIOs from companies such as Vattenfall, Ericsson, SAAB, SSAB, SECO Tools, and Atlas Copco joined the think tank, where integration was identified as the most critical capability for improving IT and business.

2019

From BizTalk and iBridge to Ghost Nodes

Research and development were initiated, and in 2019, Ghost Labs was founded. Since then, intensive development and refinement of a decentralized solution have taken place, culminating in what we now call Ghost Nodes — maybe the smartest integration architecture in the world!

2021
