&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mehiläisessä vastikään käyttöön otettu Hertta-riskitesti mittaa sydänkohtauksen ja siihen liittyvän kuoleman riskiä tarkemmin kuin mikään muu yleisesti käytössä olevista riskiarviointimenetelmistä.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sydän- ja verisuonitaudit ovat suomalaisten yleisin kuolinsyy, ja aiheuttavat 30 % kaikista kuolemista.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;– Lähes puolet sydänkohtauksista ilmaantuu ihmisille, joiden kolesteroliarvot ovat normaalit ja jopa 20 %:ssa tapauksista ihmisille, joilla ei ole mitään tunnettua riskitekijää, kardiologian erikoislääkäri &lt;strong&gt;Joachim Stjernvall&lt;/strong&gt; Töölön Mehiläisestä taustoittaa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kolesterolitutkimusta&amp;nbsp;tarkempi testausmenetelmä&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Aiemmin sydänkohtausriskiä on selvitetty erityisesti kolesterolitutkimuksen avulla. Uusimman tutkimustiedon mukaan tämä ei enää riitä.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;– LDL-kolesterolitason tiedetään olevan väestötasolla hyvä riskimittari, mutta yksilötasolla se ei kuitenkaan kerro koko totuutta, sillä jopa puolella potilaista, jotka päätyvät sairaalahoitoon sydän- ja verisuonitapahtumien johdosta, tämä ns. huono kolesteroli saattaakin olla tavoitetasolla. Tutkimusten mukaan Hertta-riskitesti mittaa sydänkohtauksen ja siihen liittyvän kuoleman riskiä tarkemmin. Verinäytteet analysoidaan samassa laboratoriossa, mikä myös minimoi menetelmien eroista johtuvat häiriöt. Testitulos on aina tasalaatuinen ja seurantamittaukset vertailukelpoisia, kertoo Mehiläisen laboratoriosektorin johtaja &lt;strong&gt;Kristina Hotakainen&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sydänriskiluku motivoi&amp;nbsp;elämäntapamuutoksiin&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Testituloksena saatu sydänriskiluku auttaa Hotakaisen mukaan potilasta kiinnittämään huomiota riskin pienentämiseen ja lääkäriä mahdollisten jatkotutkimusten suunnittelemiseen. Riskiluku on jaettu neljään luokkaan: mitä korkeammat pisteet, sitä suurempi todennäköisyys on saada sydäntapahtuma.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;– Kyse ei ole kuitenkaan lopullisesta tuomiosta, sillä riskeihin voi aina vaikuttaa. Potilaalla on myös mahdollisuus keskustella Mehiläisen sydänpuhelimen asiantuntijoiden kanssa elintapamuutoksista tai jatkotutkimuksista.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Oikean tiedon avulla&amp;nbsp;riskiä voi madaltaa&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sydänkohtauksen riskiin voi ja kannattaa vaikuttaa omilla toimilla: elämäntavoilla, lääkitykseen tehtävillä muutoksilla, tiiviillä seurannalla ja muilla toimenpiteillä.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;– Tavoitteemme on Hertta-testin avulla löytää ajoissa se ryhmä henkilöitä, joilla on tavanomaista suurempi riski saada seuraavan 10 vuoden aikana merkittävä negatiivinen sydäntapahtuma, jolloin heihin voidaan kohdistaa toimenpiteitä ja motivoida heitä tekemään ajoissa elämäntapamuutoksia, Stjernvall toteaa.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;– Yksilön on helpompi tehdä päätöksiä, kun taustalla on faktaa, ja elämäntapamuutosten tai lääkehoidon myönteinen vaikutus näkyykin riskitestissä jo muutamassa kuukaudessa, Hotakainen lisää. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MITEN HERTTA-RISKITUTKIMUKSEEN PÄÄSEE?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hertta-riskitutkimusta voi suositella työterveyslääkäri tai muu hoitava lääkäri. Riskitutkimukseen voi tulla myös omatoimisesti ilman lääkärin lähetettä.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Voit varata ajan mihin tahansa Mehiläisen toimipisteeseen tai tulla laboratorioon ilman ajanvarausta aukioloajan puitteissa.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Uusi testi ennustaa sydänkohtausriskin entistä tarkemmin

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In the future, all payments will be made regardless of time and place using a multitude of physical and virtual identification methods. Seitatech helps companies optimize their payment solutions and provide right tools and technology for the diversified payment landscape.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although disruption is inevitable, compliancy is necessity for payment systems. The ecosystem of payments should provide high availability, cost-effectiveness and high security for every user and the users should be able to make their payments fast and cross-borders. Not only should the payment solutions be universal and flexible but also scalable for the business requirements of the future.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It can be challenging to ensure the security in online payments, as secure payments require reliable ways to identify the customer. Often, the customer has to enter a considerable amount of accurate information prior to the purchase, making the payment process slow and arduous. This becomes problematic, as the market keeps demanding faster and easier ways to pay online.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“It´s a social challenge to make consumers aware about the importance of security, as part of the user experience of online payments. Before downloading a payment application, the user needs to be able to trust the authenticity of the service provider,” &lt;strong&gt;Sakari Parre&lt;/strong&gt;, the CEO at Seitatech, explains.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Payment is user experience. Combining user experience with security is what makes it fascinating,” &lt;strong&gt;Mikko Laaksonen&lt;/strong&gt;, the CTO at Seitatech, adds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Creating Evolution&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Seitatech is a payment technology pioneer which continuously evaluates the future megatrends in close cooperation with their partners. The role of payment systems can be seen as one of the most crucial elements of the human evolution.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Sooner or later every system gets old and their ability to be secure weakens. Whether the payments are done via mobile phones, cars or fridges, the technology is already available and has made it possible for us to do things that weren´t previously considered to be profitable. What makes it challenging is inventing how to use it the right way and to make the best possible user experience for the consumers,” Laaksonen discusses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At a traditional brick and mortar store, it is still easy to keep the payments integrated with the user experience by using physical cards. Even though the electronic payments are evolving, credit cards are still one of the most universal payment methods out there. Even though cards are not necessary the safest or fastest form of payments when shopping online, they currently serve as a compromise between security and user experience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The consumers might not even know what would be a better option or the most suitable and secure payment solution for them. That´s why companies should be prepared to invest in their payment infrastructure and make sure they have a good understanding of the needs of their customers. After all, consumers should be able to make payments when the time is most suitable for them,” Parre reminds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The future identification and verification methods will vary from location sharing to biometrics and social media footprint.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The ideology of money being anonymous is an interesting one. How anonymous should money be if sharing your personal data concludes to more fast and secure payments?” Parre asks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Payment is user experience

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Behind every innovation and breakthrough is a proper funding. In Finland, Tekes is the most important publicly funded expert organization for financing research, development and innovation. Now, on the upswing are especially software and game industry.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Artificial intelligence, virtual reality, robotics, autonomous vehicles, advanced analytics, big data, 5G – these are the ecosystems that big international enterprises, SME companies and the public operators are building collaboration on. Nowadays, Finland is best known for its world-class technological competence especially in the sectors of health, wellbeing, 5G, autonomous marine transport and virtual technologies. Tekes finances innovation and research companies by almost 500 million euros per year but the notorious Finnish digital competence is luring also foreign investors to join the buzz.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The question is, how this expertise is produced further to services and exported to the world – with a good price tag.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Artificial intelligence is already being used to support the decision-making of the physicians and the results have been promising. Finland has all the opportunities and expertise to create extremely disruptive digital architecture of health and well-being sector that has global significance. But we need all the Nordic and Baltic countries to join us, to get the sufficient critical mass. Our ecosystem aims to increase the turnover of SMEs of the health industry from the current 750 million to 6 billion by 2025,” &lt;strong&gt;Pekka Sivonen&lt;/strong&gt;, the head of digitalization at Tekes, says.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Finland has all the opportunities and expertise to create extremely disruptive digital architecture of health and well-being sector that has global significance.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to decision-making, robotics and automatization can be used for example in customer services or when processing damage reports in insurance companies. Robots are capable of doing both the monotonic and dangerous tasks as well as humane duties like keeping company for senior citizens. Even though some jobs will vanish, there will be more meaningful work to replace the old ones. Also, the supervising of robots is still in the hands of humans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Robotics and automatization are already here and tomorrow they will be here even stronger. Everything that can be digitalized will be digitalized. A small country like Finland that has intensity of knowledge in certain fields of business has to invest specifically in the development of high-value-adding products and services but also sales expertise so that the innovations can be brought to the global market.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Boosting Innovation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Every year, Tekes finances some 1,500 business research and development projects, and almost 600 public research projects at universities, research institutes and universities of applied sciences. Tekes is also part of the Team Finland network, that offers funding and internationalization services for Finnish companies and shares the risks of research and development among those involved.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The development of technology is faster than ever. Regardless of the size of the company, no one thrives alone. For Finland, the only way to succeed is to collaborate with both small and big organizations and public operators. This is how we can build ecosystems that generate success to different fields of business that in turn bate foreign investments and specialists. We have various kinds of expertise here that there is a lack of in the other parts of the world.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tekes organizes also free of charge Reboot Finland D.Day serial events covering Finland´s most significant export industries. D.Day is organized together with CGI, Nokia, Finpro, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd and the Technology Industries of Finland.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;”D.Day is a new kind of concept, where we offer workshops and presentations about new technologies and solutions. Not only do we offer Finnish companies funding and internationalization services but give the possibility to get advantage of the technology and marketing channels that the big companies organizing the event provide. The spirit of working together and cooperating is increasing fast among Finnish companies.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sivonen sees that the tightening competition in the international markets shows that it´s time to start building new, next-generation products that will play by the business rules of the digital era, where sensor technology, big data, artificial intelligence and advanced analytics are intertwined with one another.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of the Finnish funding agency’s newly launched collaborations is with Rolls-Royce, which recently announced establishing a remote-control, autonomous vessels and artificial intelligence research center in Turku, the activities beginning as early as this year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Tekes provides funding for the development of autonomous marine ecosystems. The automatization of marine transport is inevitable and Finland must be the one to pop first in mind when wondering where skills of competence for the marine sector can be found. This case is yet another proof that we have the know-how. And this is just the beginning,” Sivonen states.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Rebooting Finland with collabos

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kairest Ltd overturns the myth that a company that offers services around Finland should be located in growth centres in order to succeed.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The home of Kairest Ltd, which is running a business worth millions, is Pielavesi in the heartlands of Savonia, the birthplace of Urho Kekkonen, Finland’s longest-serving President. The company concentrates on personnel hiring, financial administration and training services, and catering, restaurant and accommodation services.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Roots deep in Savonia,&amp;nbsp;customers all around the country&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kairest Ltd, which has operated in the field for more than 25 years, is one of Finland’s oldest personnel hiring companies. “There has been a lot of turbulence in the field, but dependability, speed, reliability of delivery and a precise understanding of the needs of customers have helped our company to better and better results in terms of both the expansion of the customer base and the company’s own financial results,” says the CEO, &lt;strong&gt;Jorma Härkönen&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Personnel hiring covers all professions and offers services all the way from Southern Finland to Lapland. As for financial administration services, the company gives its customers the possibility to concentrate on their own core business. “Our customers transfer billing and payroll administration to us to take care of. We use modern, efficient and fast electronic methods, meaning that our customer can be located anywhere in Finland.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;An internationally award-winning master chef and customised training packages&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The founder of the company and Chairman of the Board, &lt;strong&gt;Seppo Ruotsalainen&lt;/strong&gt;, is a hardened professional in the restaurant and cooking field from Pielavesi itself. Ruotsalainen is an internationally award-winning master chef and exercises influence in a diverse way in organisations in the field. “Over the years, I’ve built up a lot of experience, so I know what a great party is, or good service and excellent food, whether it’s a case of a gala evening or family party, international delicacies or domestic local food,” says Ruotsalainen.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the reservation restaurant Juhlaranta run by Ruotsalainen, situated in the surroundings of an old dairy, the best produce of the season is on offer, with a respect for the raw ingredients. In addition, service and cooking training courses, for both amateurs and professionals too, are held in Juhlaranta. Meanwhile, Kairest customises training packages on occupational well-being, changes relating to managerial work and leadership of know-how at both Juhlaranta and elsewhere in Finland.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A significant employer&amp;nbsp;and inspiring example&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jorma Härkönen sees the location of Kairest in a small municipality as a resource, not as an obstacle. “Modern technology makes all information transferral possible easily and quickly. An effective training course and conference are easy to arrange in a peaceful, naturally beautiful place, far away from the commotion and disturbances of towns. Accommodation services keep the group together in events that last for several days too. Catering and tableware renting services can be arranged for up to 2,000 people,” says Härkönen.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kairest is a good example of how a successful company is a shot in the arm for a small municipality. “These days, location is an obstacle to growth for most companies only in their own minds,” Härkönen reminds us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

A business of millions from the heart of Savonia

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Smart cities are almost here. Telia Company already has the vision.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In some ways the driving forces are the same for the IoT as the early internet,” says Telia Company’s Vice President of Global IoT Solutions &lt;strong&gt;Hans Dahlberg&lt;/strong&gt;. “A new technology is used to increase efficiency and create new business. For instance, the internet allowed banking to move from a physical branch to your home computer, cutting costs. It also allowed banks to offer more services, adding value. The same thing is happening with the IoT.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Telia is one of Europe’s leading providers of IoT solutions. They see this communication between people, things and processes as the next great opportunity for both businesses and individuals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Sensors collect data, that data is analysed, and then you can act and automate appropriately,” Dahlberg continues. “The foundation of the IoT is connectivity and what is important is using and acting upon that data.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Intelligent ecosystems&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As an example Dahlberg cites Telia Sense, a service which connects a consumer’s car. It provides WiFi to the vehicle’s occupants, but it also collects useful data.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Telia Sense monitors the engine and lets you know if it is working properly,” he says. “It gives you your travel history. It warns you if someone bumps into it in the parking lot or if you need to move it for snow clearance. If it is stolen, GPS tracks your car.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While this sounds impressive enough, Dahlberg points out that this is only a tiny part of Telia Sense.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The big revolution is building an ecosystem around the data which the consumer controls,” says Dahlberg. “Insurance companies can see you are a careful driver so lower your rates. A buyer for your car can see you took care of it so offers you a higher price. If there is a problem different mechanics could bid for your business.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The next phase is not sensors and data, he stresses, but building entire ecosystems. If consumers allow the ecosystem to use their data we can build many wonderful things, like smart cities or revolutionary new health care.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The driving force of the IoT is connectivity

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;One no longer needs to do massive investments in servers and machines to be able to store vast amounts of data and create new solutions. Solita and its partners help companies realize their IoT and AI dreams.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What would a data platform of dreams be like? It would utilize artificial intelligence in data processing, be specially designed to meet the needs of customers and enable developing truly unified and personalized customer experiences across all channels – at least from digital business consultancy and digital service company Solita’s and telecommunications operator DNA´s point of view. The Finnish companies’ newly launched Data Platform of Dreams is also in the running to become the best Grand One 2017 digital media work in the usage of data category.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“DNA´s area of business is extremely data intensive. Various channels are generating customer data from actual storefront and web page visits to the usage history of mobile phones. What makes our solution so fantastic, is that it combines data cross-cuttingly over different customer touch points and enables accurate predictions about customer’s needs. The results are unique both in a Finnish scale but also in a Nordic scale,” explains &lt;strong&gt;Jonne Heikkinen&lt;/strong&gt;, Manager of Data Science at Solita.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to improved customer experience, DNA´s data analytics platform provides tools for better business management and marketing. DNA has now automatized 80 % of its tactical marketing operations and operational marketing can be done up to 300 times faster than before. The results of marketing activities have more than tripled and artificial intelligence is estimated to have brought 200 % sales growth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AI Hype&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Solita works with leading companies and public sector organizations, providing services from strategies and service design to digital service development and eCommerce, analytics, business intelligence, IoT, integrations, cloud services and continuous development.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“There are certainly interesting things happening in the field of AI at the moment, from chatbots to self-driving cars. However, it is still important to note that the artificial intelligence these days is weak. Artificial intelligence does not possess human-like skills, but rather is engineered against a use case,” Heikkinen explains.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The main reasons why utilizing artificial intelligence and machine learning have risen from the research labs are open-source tools, cloud services and advances in deep learning. “Data will have an even bigger role in the future and decisions will be done more and more with the help of advanced analytics in every area of business. The gap between big technology enterprises and smaller players is now significantly smaller than what it used to be. The things they do become mainstream faster and faster,” Heikkinen says.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IoT Pilots&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, the dreams about the revolutionary Internet of Things are in the running of becoming tangible and real. A recent example is Solita’s cooperation with Haltian, a Finnish company providing IoT devices and platforms. The mission of the collaboration is to offer customers a unified whole consisting of combining measurement devices, sensors, and an IoT platform with software, data analytics, and cloud services.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The technologies and devices are now ready, and service providers have gained experience in making effective use of existing technologies and the business opportunities they provide,” says Janne Siltari, Head of IoT at Solita.With Haltian’s agile multipurpose sensors, it is possible to measure, for instance, temperature, air pressure and humidity, vibrations, and illuminance. Solita’s solution, for its part, collects and analyses data into a form that facilitates decision-making and development of new business operations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Through cooperation with Haltian, we want to make the building of solutions for our customers easier than ever,” Siltari adds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Start Experimenting&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Solita urges businesses of all ranges and areas to start experimenting with artificial intelligence and IoT as early as they can. “The sooner you start, the quicker you will learn how to leverage machine learning, artificial intelligence and IoT in your business,” Heikkinen states.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Forrester Research Group estimates that by 2025 about 16% of the workforce of U.S. will be replaced by artificial intelligence, which is somewhat of a sign that artificial intelligence is probably going to have an impact on various businesses in the near future. “One of the most interesting projects in the Finnish public sector is the digitalization of the public services across Ministries,” Heikkinen says.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, applying artificial intelligence is not concerning only the tasks where humans are incapable of reaching the same processing speed as machines. There are also number of complex concepts that man is unable to efficiently perceive that can be replaced with new technology.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“As an example, Google dropped the data center energy consumption by 15% by controlling the consumption intelligently from 120 different factors such as fans, pumps and windows – which is impressive when the reference was built by world-class engineers,” Heikkinen adds.&lt;/p&gt;

A dream come true

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Enfo provides entire end-to-end IoT solutions to help their customers disrupt their own businesses.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No industry is going to avoid disruption,” says &lt;strong&gt;Juha Kukka&lt;/strong&gt;, Strategic Architect and Digital Evangelist at Enfo. “If you used to sell products you need to start providing services. If you used to provide one-off services you need to move to a subscription model, and vice-versa. In many industries, IoT enables business disruption.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Enfo specialises in enabling digitalisation, from cloud adoption to business intelligence. In the Internet of Things they provide full stack end-to-end solutions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Many players only provide a portion of a company’s needs, such as the platform or analytics,” Kukka says. “We can do it all. Enfo can provide all the sensors, installation, data management and analytics.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Enfo can gather all the relevant data from a production line, but the key is to properly manage the data and use it to make good business decisions. The data can be visualised and enriched to better understand the system and how to create something better.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“We can identify bottlenecks and how to optimise production,” explains Kukka. “We can determine which shifts are efficient and which are not. Alerts can be set up, such as warnings about problems or potential downtimes.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kukka terms this “digital manufacturing” and points out that the IoT is not about technology, but about as an enabler for new business.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“We sensor the environment and understand usage patterns, locations, wear and tear and other metrics,” he says. “The data is analysed and visualised, and if done correctly you will create new services. Also, remember to keep your solutions open for everyone. By bringing openness into the picture you also bring more innovation and partners to the ecosystem.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This philosophy isn’t about squeezing a bit more efficiency out of an old process. It is about complete disruption.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Disrupt yourself,” Kukka confirms. “Enfo is doing it to ourselves as well. For instance, hosting data centres used to be one of our biggest businesses but now we are taking data to the cloud. We host events about disrupting your own company. You need to do it before your competitors do.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Disrupt Yourself

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IFS IoT Business Connector enables to turn the data gathered from IoT devices to actual business profits and savings. Time based maintenance routines and precautions are no longer needed, when actions can be done when necessary.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;IFS™ is a globally recognized leader in developing and delivering enterprise software for enterprise resource planning (ERP), enterprise asset management (EAM) and enterprise service management (ESM). IFS offers applications that enable companies to respond quickly to market changes and use resources in a more agile way to achieve better business performance and competitive advantages.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;IFS’s newly launched IoT Business Connector provides companies with the means to capture and analyze sensor data; translate events into actionable observations and initiate actions in IFS enterprise software. Connected business will be able to lower costs, raise revenue and free up working capital. Maintenance, service and production processes will improve thanks to the real-time insights that are generated. Service will be enhanced because facilities and equipment can issue alerts before actions are required, greatly reducing the need for—and costs related to—manual inspections.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Internet of Things is already a concrete part of our everyday lives and businesses. IFS IoT Business Connector helps us to get more accurate data faster from the machines that run our businesses. It helps us to intensify our operations and release time from making precautions and calendar-based routines. It´s sort of the same thing as nursing a mute by holding their hand and drawing care instructions from that rather than using machines that can communicate better and make smarter decisions by analyzing accurate data,” &lt;strong&gt;Hannu Hynninen&lt;/strong&gt;, the consulting manager of IFS Finland, visualizes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pilot in extreme environment&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of IFS IoT Business Connector’s pilot users is an oil platform. IFS’s interface helps the oil company to determine what actions to take when IoT data analysis reveals observations relevant to the operations. Everything concludes to extracting the data and using it to make machines work better, for longer and with less downtime. Bringing together operational and informational technology highlights also security.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“An oil platform is an extremely complicated facility which is exposed to varying weather conditions from storms to cold and heat. Before, a single machine maintenance was done calendar-based, but now IoT provides inexpensive and user-friendly sensors that can make accurate measurements on how the equipment is being used and about the condition factors affecting the usage such as the heat of the machinery. The maintenance actions can be done to the precise machine in the precise conditions when necessary, not just in case. It increases also security when possible flaws or problems can be predicted,” Hynninen explains.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to enhancing business, IoT brings new, yet unknown, possibilities. Through service innovation, IoT connectivity and data analytics can be turned into new revenues.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Imagination is the only limit. For example, consumers can get extensive benefits when properties get smart and need-based maintenance services. Complex and expensive communications equipment can be simplified and maintenance requests can be send automatically without the need of middlemen.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Better for longer with less downtime

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Getting data is not enough. You have to do something with it.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The CEO of Aureolis, &lt;strong&gt;Katja Ahola&lt;/strong&gt;, believes that gathering information is only half of the problem. What is just as important is how that data is used.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“We work with companies to integrate the IoT into business intelligence,” she explains. “We give insight and concrete ways for our clients to improve their decision making.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Aureolis specialises in business intelligence services. Founded in 2001, they have 80 employees who have completed 1,000 projects in data warehousing, reporting, analytics and knowledge management.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“We connect internal data sources to an interface in order to access and analyse the data,” Ahola continues. “We often combine multiple sources of data – internal and external – to improve the decision making process.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Continuous business intelligence&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Markus Rautopuro&lt;/strong&gt;, Aureolis’ Director of New Business Development, cites their customer Alfapac as an example. Alfapac produces plastic films, but their manufacturing process is highly dependent upon correct temperatures to produce the best material.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Temperature sensors were placed at different heights in their factory, from floor level up to the top of the extruder,” says Rautopuro. “We gathered this information and combined it with open weather data. The data is analysed with weather forecasting and the solution is to alter the temperature in the process hall when necessary, so the quality comes out perfect.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Aureolis performs a lot of such business intelligence services for the financial industry, but they see similar applications for a variety of businesses. Manufacturing and construction are the new frontier, as these industries have traditionally been more process-oriented.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“This is continuous business intelligence,” Rautopuro explains. “Decision making projects used to be IT driven, but today it is an ongoing process. We give the ability to properly analyse problems and find solutions.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“If a company has challenges using their data they should contact us,” says Ahola. “We have people with experience in different sectors and we offer company-specific solutions. Consultants might give high-level strategies, but you need someone to execute. Aureolis makes it happen.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The data driven way to do business

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Even though FinTech solutions do not technically differ that much from any other cloud service, utilizing FinTech extensively may result in excessive monitoring.&amp;nbsp;While new EU legislation is lurking just around the block, companies are forced to dig into their piles of data and scan also their outdated business processes thoroughly. When developing new solutions for banking ecosystems, there are no chances for failure.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No more than a decade ago, the management of an IT platform was quite simple: software was self-made, placed into one location and behind a firewall. Now software is bought from various locations, most of which are cloud services that need to be reconciled with the old software. To get the best out of complicated information systems, banks need a solid integration partner.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Banks are facing many new challenges. One example is the new PSD2 legislation by the EU, which will obligate banks to open some of their customer information to third parties – with the customers’ permission of course.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Samlink helps their customers to manage their overall IT processes and provides banking platform as a service for almost one hundred banks. Even though Samlink’s expertise is in the financial sector, the company of 450 professionals sees great opportunities in developing functional electronic solutions and multi-channel services to match the needs of the trade industry and other service companies as well. Samlink´s skills of compliance are not limited solely to the finance industry.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“When&amp;nbsp;a CRM is bought from a certain place, advertising and billing from another and no one&amp;nbsp;even remembering the data gathering dust in the old systems, it can be quite troubling trying to keep up with the legislation and know for sure which party is allowed to use what data and in what scale. We follow the regulations both together with our customers and on behalf of them. We bear the responsibility so that our customers can let out a sigh of relief knowing that everything is up-to-date and taken care of securely, legally and also compliance-wise,” &lt;strong&gt;Markku Siikala&lt;/strong&gt;, Head of Sales at Samlink, discusses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sustainable data processing&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It´s not only the financial sector that has to be concerned about the EU’s Data Protection regulation. All companies dealing with customer data are obligated to demonstrate that they are compliant.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Accountability means promoting sustainable data processing and it concerns almost every area of business,” Siikala explains.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;“For an IT company the new legislation means more work and of course we are excited about it. There are plenty of new opportunities also for customers. In a way, this is also a redistribution of business,” he adds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For FinTech startups, Siikala gives a few additional words of advice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I´ve been co-founding several FinTech startups and I must say they demand a lot more work than for example game or online services. All financial businesses are obligated to audit themselves precisely and everything is audited by the authorities as well. When founding a startup in the financial sector fail fast is not an option. Everything must go right from the beginning and at once.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ecosystems and New Technologies Speed Up Service Development&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to Markku Siikala, Finnish banks are overall well-aware and prepared for the disruption of the financial industry. When enabling change the first step is to readjust the company’s ecosystem to match the requirements of open interfaces and information along with all the security aspects and compliance factors. At Samlink compliance doesn´t concern just security, compliance means that all the business processes are in accordance with the requirements.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The good news is that technology always bends. Old technology is slower at it but it´s still transformable. Almost all the banks are now working to renew their core banking systems. Finnish banks have not just stayed around to wait and see what happens. They’ve done huge investments in digitalization and started to prepare themselves for the future.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are multiple new things helping to digitalize IT systems. Siikala is looking forward towards blockchain’s opportunities as well. Blockchain is a distributed ledger of any kind of event, that once recorded can´t be altered anymore.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“This year we’ll get our first solutions in production that are utilizing blockchain. At first the transactions will be done with contracts rather than money.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

When fail fast is not an option

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IoT devices connected to Digita’s LoRa network have numerous opportunities in making daily business run conveniently, cost-effectively and securely. The new innovations vary from smart rat-traps and traffic signs to locating devices.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last fall Finland’s national terrestrial television and radio network operator Digita expanded its competence to meet the needs of internet of things. LoRa technology enables its users to monitor and control different kinds of devices simply and cost-effectively via sensors size of a pack of cigarettes. The LoRa terminals are both low in price and power consumption. They have an excellent range which makes the technology compatible with various types of wireless data gathering and monitoring solutions. Digita´s comprehensive IoT services are based on Digita’s nation-wide infrastructure and network.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to &lt;strong&gt;Ari Kuukka&lt;/strong&gt;, Director of IoT Services at Digita, it brings great amounts of added value, if customer can do certain operations only when necessary and release time from calendar based duties to other business processes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“For example, in some countries rats are a big problem in food industry companies and employees must circle the factories to find out if rats have gotten trapped. Another example is from Sweden, where the law requires that traffic signs are checked in regular bases in case they have toppled down. With LoRa technology the sensor sends the wanted information and company can release workforce to make the needed operations only when necessary. With the help of this kind of IoT solutions companies can replace their calendar based business model where something is done at regular intervals to a need based business model,” Kuukka explains.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Geolocating service&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another illustrative example of LoRa technology is locating devices for example in big building sites, where tools or heavy equipment might remain in the terrain after construction work is finished.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Traditional GPS trackers are expensive to use compared to LoRa sensors that run with a battery that lasts for years. Cost of the technology is coming down fast, making even disposable LoRa devices possible. The LoRa network geolocation precision is about hundred meters, but often even when the equipment only costs few hundred euros it’s useful to know approximately where to look for it. Before, it wasn’t cost-effective to track medium-prized assets. The LoRa technology can for example ease the logistic hassle of locating equipment between various subcontractors,” Kuukka says.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;LoRa evades also the risk of denial of service attacks that insecure IoT devices are provoking.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Security-wise radio technology is safe, because it’s not connected to internet. It’s not even possible to do denial of service attacks using LoRa terminals,” Kuukka reminds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Digita´s core competence is in building comprehensive networks and making connections work. Digita has been&amp;nbsp;transmitting radio and TV programs reliably to all Finland for decades. Depending on the needs of their customers, Digita provides also business applications and cloud services together with their comprehensive partner network.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“LoRa is an open technology and anyone can set up a similar network, meaning companies are not locking themselves to one provider only. IoT connectivity is only one of our services. We build connections for new businesses and help them to make operations, that weren’t previously smart to do, feasible.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

From a calendar based business model to a need based one

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Siili sees digitalisation as true integration of data, design and technology.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Seppo Kuula&lt;/strong&gt;, CEO of Siili, taps his watch to illustrate his company’s philosophy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“A smart watch is a great idea, but what is important is the data, not the thing,” he says. “A watch is too small to have an effective touch screen, but what if it had a reliable voice interface? Now I can simply speak to my watch to access and organise my data, like setting an appointment. We already have the technology and data to do this, but now we need a proper design to make this happen.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The people at Siili see themselves as digital integrators, partnering with clients in software and digital services. While many IoT companies are excited about projects to connect devices and use the resulting data, Siili has a fundamentally different idea.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Digitalisation is a process of co-creation with customers,” Kuula explains. “Industrialisation was about products, pyramid-shaped organisations, R&amp;amp;D driving value and efficiency in scale. Digitalisation is about service, customer-oriented business models, customers driving value and global, inter-industry competition.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This process is resulting in new business models, like Uber or AirBnB, where access is more important than physical products. The business model is becoming iterative, continuous and data-driven.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Companies need a partner to go through the digitalisation phase,” Kuula continues. “Where can they optimise, such as robotics improving cost efficiency? Where is the transformation, like how media and telecom are converging? Then we have true disruption. Data drives design; design causes disruption; disruption powers development of the new.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“How we use cognitive computing and personalised services is drastically changing not only business logic but also our lives,” he says. “Soon we will see assisted driving standard in all cars, saving thousands of lives and making commuting more tolerable. We’ll have digital assistants at home making our daily activities more convenient, saving significant amounts of our time for more meaningful activities than shopping or searching for information. We are the trusted partner of leading companies in this digital transformation, and at the end of the day what is most important to Siili is people.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

In the IoT things are nothing; data is what matters

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Internet of Things brings us new solutions to make our daily lives run more smoothly. Among the new reliefs comes also new unprecedented threats. In a way, IoT has taken security backwards manufacturers making the same mistakes as computer software developers did years ago.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Centuries ago men use to build fortresses in places with spacious views: not that the walls itself would be unbreakable but to detect the conceivable enemy as early as possible and to prevent damages. According to Nixu, Nordic’s largest specialist company in cyber security consulting, cybersecurity should be seen the same way as they used to in the old days – as a continuous process where enemies are detected before they manage to cause any harm.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“It´s a big mistake to build a wall and not follow what’s happening outside and more importantly inside the organization. It takes approximately 200 days to detect a data breach,” says &lt;strong&gt;Antti Nuopponen&lt;/strong&gt;, Head of Cyber Defense at Nixu.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Generally, Nuopponen is enthusiastic about all the opportunities that IoT has and is looking forward to see new inventions. What worries him is the manufacturers not having the needed knowledge about the cyber threats they are invoking.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“There are already several warning examples where hackers have been able to do massive distributed denial of service attacks using trivial malware like Mirai. Especially for manufacturers, who are coming from totally different areas of business, it might be hard to understand all the dimensions of security.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cyber defence needed&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mirai is malware that turns IoT systems running Linux to remotely controllable bots. The bots can then be utilized as part of a botnet in heavy cyberattacks. Mirai has hit the headlines various times, whether it be a computer controlling property´s heat control crashing down or cyber criminals knocking a whole country’s internet offline like in Liberia last autumn. Same method has been used to shut off sites like Netlflix, eBay and Reddit in a mission to sabotage U.S.’s internet. Insecure IoT devices are intercept by Mirai which uses them to send vast amounts of traffic and cause service disruption.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The simplicity of the attacks using IoT devices is what makes them even more worrying. Imagine your smart toaster attacking a nation online. If a manufacturer is having regard to security already in the planning phase, it’s a lot easier to prevent cyberattacks like these happening.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Nixu’s point of view, security is a must in projects where any developing, implementing or assessing of information is done.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Manufacturers should be more careful building all these smart systems and ensure that their devices are secure and automatically updated.&amp;nbsp;It´s not the consumer´s fault if something happens, it’s the manufacturer who should bear the responsibility and design devices that are well secured and safe,” Nuopponen reminds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“And personally, I think it’s just wrong to sell trash,” he adds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to Industrial Internet, Nixu helps their clients to improve their cybersecurity also in solution areas of Corporate IT and Digital Business.

Insecure manufacturing of IoT devices cause severe cyber threats

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gofore has never done employee based adjustments during their 15 year path. According to Timur Kärki, the co-founder and CEO of Gofore, the might behind last year’s 50% growth in sales and 69% increase in operating profits is in the workplace which was recently awarded as the greatest in Finland.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Four digital designers and coders have gathered around and orange foosball table to stimulate their coffee break with some social athletics and laughter. A modern but cosy open-space office in the heart of Helsinki sends out a warm and welcoming feeling. Not only does it seem that the employees are truly thriving there, but also their expertise has gained praise from the research organization Great Place to Work, which annually lists the best Finnish workplaces. The study involved 151 organizations, which employ a total of about 49 000 employees. This year, Gofore was the winner of the medium-sized enterprise series. In addition to employees’ know-how, the study evaluated the expertise of companies’ management practices.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Our decision-making is decentralized, working is self-directed and hierarchy is squashed to the minimum. Our aim is to be highly transparent. Employees have the power to influence their own work which steers the whole company’s direction. The enthusiast attitude is experienced and shared together, which gives us the motivation to go forward and grow. Gofore would not be that great of an environment for those who must be dragged along, because the workplace develops itself,” Kärki explains.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;People at Gofore design and build electronic services engagingly with their customers. When a company senses the need for digitalization Finland´s best experts are there to give a hand. Even though digitalization has taken massive leaps within the years and even weeks, the values of Gofore have stayed the same during their decade of prosperity, the first value being a great place to work and the second being living from the success of customers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Our employees are also extremely aware and demanding when it comes to our values. If we are having a conversation about a new project they highlight how does it make Gofore a great place to work. The ways of communicating must evolve along the way: it’s a whole different mode of communicating when there’s 200 employees compared to 50. At the end of the year 2017 there’s going to be 300 of us in total working in Tampere, Helsinki and Jyväskylä.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Digital&amp;nbsp;Artisans&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even though big amount of crafts jobs are on the line to become extinct due to digitalization and machine learning, Kärki sees that a great place to work is created in the hands of artisans – also in the digital era.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Even a code can be seen as a handicraft, the product or service being created with detailed and accurate work and the artisan seeing the concrete results of his achievements,” Kärki says.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gofore helps its customers in their digital transformation process by building fascinating digital services and helping the managements of organizations to see and understand the whole picture of digitalization. For Gofore’s customers, it’s critical to see the possible new competition and to understand all the new opportunities that evolving technologies and service platforms bring. One of the most important factors is the way in which the service creation is managed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Smart people can’t be guided too much. The new model of leading means providing the best kind of working environment where it’s pleasing for the employees to develop their skills and knowledge. Increasingly, vocation and enthusiasm of the workers are the features that lead the way for both change and success.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kärki reminds that transparency is one of the cornerstones of the new awakening business culture. Luckily, it’s also the part that is fairly easy to put in order.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Many corporations tend to keep their knowledge in hidden silos. We are not afraid that someone else might get advantage of our know-how. Instead, transparency gives us the ability create new things and gain merit out of them,” he states.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The best place to work

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For 60 years Stera Technologies have been using the best methods to serve their customers. Now they are working with Aveso to connect their smart factories around the world.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stera is a global system supplier for electromechanical assemblies. They offer their clients solutions all the way from design and prototyping to mass production in their Finnish, Estonian and Indian factories. Today they are in the vanguard of the Internet of Things (IoT).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Stera started the Smart Factory development program in 2014 as part of Tekes’ IoT platform,” explains &lt;strong&gt;Vesa Ohlsson&lt;/strong&gt;, Unit Manager at Stera. “The first steps were the development of robot systems cooperation, the use of sensors in tools and jigs, as well as the use of machine vision to fulfil the target of a zero defect level.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The program soon expanded as Stera developed its own sensor portfolio to give operators more information about machine utilization and preventive maintenance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;//d3sdr36o18yw4x.cloudfront.net/w1200-h1200/editori.portal/uploads/_MG_15631_copy.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Stera has succeeded together with their customers. Productivity, quality and cost effectiveness are made with new automation systems, digitalization and motivated personnel.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Joined forces&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 2016 Stera began a partnership with Aveso, a specialist in data management and software development. Aveso’s expertise with Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform and Power BI business analytics tools were a perfect fit for Stera’s smart factories.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Nowadays Stera factories are equipped with wireless sensors, cloud service and visualisation,” Ohlsson continues. “Production management use this information in everyday decisions. The system is wireless, scalable, cost effective and easy to use.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“There are many concrete benefits of this solution,” says &lt;strong&gt;Sami Heino&lt;/strong&gt;, CEO of Aveso. “Traditionally the machine monitoring was based on reporting. Now we have immediate information on operations, such as running time and capacity utilization.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Heino points out that this system can even track inventory, create purchase orders and provide guidance for predictive maintenance. Additionally, with Microsoft Power BI the solution is automatically mobile.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Cooperation was very smooth and agile with Aveso,” concludes Ohlsson. “We at Stera know how factories should be run and Aveso knows how to handle the ERP and IT systems as well as data management. This is true digitalisation that is going on in manufacturing companies!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A balance between business benefits and information security is not a tango for two – dancing moves can be automatized and become routine, however. Instead of tango, basketball wizards Tomi Hautala and Sami Laaksonen prefer to talk about controlled teamwork, where trust between the players also becomes key to success.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When a Finnish professional athlete ends their career, within a couple of years of their quitting we usually get news of one of two types: they either have sunk to the bottom of the bottle or are on their way to a successful new career. Fortunately, this story is of the latter type.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many sports fans recognize &lt;strong&gt;Tomi Hautala&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Sami Laaksonen &lt;/strong&gt;as successful, national-level basketball players. Today, the two men are successful information security entrepreneurs working in a company called Propentus Oy. The next step is to rise from national level to the international top league. “Internationalization is a big issue for us, and we’ve already started operations in the Middle East,” says Laaksonen. He has experience in information security in things like product development, and is currently responsible for marketing and partner management.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tomi Hautala, who grew up in a family of entrepreneurs and has worked at companies like Nokia is one of the company’s founders. Early on, he recruited his fellow player Laaksonen, whom he knew very thoroughly. “In this line of business, it’s very important to know each person’s background, their values and operating practices,” Hautala explains. “We have followed the same principle in the hiring of each of the 40 employees in our company,” he adds.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Business of trust with a professional sporting mentality&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The duo has internalized not only the sporting-style operating model, but also the importance of trust in your fellow players. “We utilize this combination successfully in our business,” Hautala and Laaksonen sum up.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And they are right: this, if any, is a business of trust. Finding the three core values of the company was easy: skilled, productive and open. “One of our driving forces is the passion to solve problems, to do it well and in a way that is transparent for the client,” Hautala adds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Propentus’ selection of services is more than topical. The Information Security Act alone requires identity data to be stored properly at companies. At the same time, it is sensible to make sure that all collected identity data is stored in a way that best benefits the business.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For this and many other questions of identity and user rights management Propentus offers cost-efficient solutions. Besides the public sector and healthcare, the company’s clientele consists of top players in the fields of energy, industry, retail and finance – as well as airport security.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“This is purely a question of a proven and trustworthy partner automatizing a company’s identity and user rights management routines, i.e. the processes of granting, modifying or removing rights, and producing real-time information for supporting business. This improves information security and eliminates unnecessary licensing fees,” Hautala sums up the benefits for clients.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the end of our meeting at the Hotel Torni in Helsinki, I shake the hands of the two basketballer-entrepreneurs: the handshake is firm and the eye contact direct.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

The importance of trust and security in the playing courts of the digital age

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wapice was born in the Internet of Things. In fact, when it was founded in 1999 what we today call the IoT didn’t even have a name. Instead people referred to a mobile internet for industry.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Headquartered in Vaasa, the company has over 300 specialists in eight locations across Finland. Wapice specialises in the industrial internet: they create tailored solutions for their clients but also have a unique offering, IoT-Ticket.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“IoT-Ticket is a complete platform covering data acquisition, analytics, dashboard and reporting,” explains CEO &lt;strong&gt;Pasi Tuominen&lt;/strong&gt;. “It is browser-based and is very easy to use. For instance, you can build a working dashboard in 30 minutes.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The IoT-Ticket platform can be thought of as a concept similar to a suite of office programs. You can create reports as easy as writing a document, analyse like with a spreadsheet, or build a dashboard as you would create a presentation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“The IoT-Ticket platform can be thought of as a concept similar to a suite of office programs.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The dashboard has over 30 widgets in order to visualise data, and functionality can be added simply by connecting blocks of data to logic and widget blocks. Real-time alarms and notifications can be created by user-defined events, while reports can be created using templates.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Some of the main uses for IoT Ticket are with mobile machines, buildings and production lines,” Tuominen continues. “For instance, you can track how and where a bus or truck is being used. A building can monitor its temperature and purchase energy for heating or cooling when the price is cheapest. Advanced condition monitoring can enable predictive maintenance in a pulp and paper factory.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another field Wapice has entered is 3D and augmented reality to deliver new service and support experiences for industry. A mobile device can be used to see the internal functioning of a motor, for instance, or where electric wires run in a building’s walls.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“You can even retrieve information from the cloud by imaging a barcode or logo,” Tuominen says. “In health care, you can get patient info from an image of the patient’s face. This is not theory; this is possible in practice.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Wapice delivers success with IoT-ticket

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;They seek for efficiency and are offering their field of business new models to evolve. However, Huhtamäki Brothers Attorneys is not a startup. It is the first Finnish law firm that specializes in competition law and dispute resolution.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Five university degrees, nearly two decades worth of experience in some of the most respected law firms, and two doctoral dissertations on the way. Behind all this expertise stands two determinant young men originally from Espoo, competitive siblings who decided to establish Huhtamäki Brothers, a new law firm in 2017. Even though the startup trend has reached its branches to the law sector as well, &lt;strong&gt;Matti&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Heikki&lt;/strong&gt;, who are both members of the Finnish Bar Association, see their entrepreneurial journey as a life-long deal, a lifestyle that helps companies to defend against infringements, and thus not as a startup.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The perspective and vision of our newly found business spans 20 years rather than a few years, as startups tend to have,” the elder brother Matti explains.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Despite valuing their previous employers, in 2016, Matti and Heikki felt their calling was to create a service that better resembles their ideals and enables them to encounter customers and give them personal service.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“We highly appreciate our profession and the ethics involved. By operating as a specialized smaller firm, we have more opportunities and capabilities to focus on efficiency and customer orientation than big organisations could offer to us and our clients,” Heikki discusses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When receiving legal advice, the customer needs to be able to trust their counsel and to be sure from whom the advice is coming from.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“In Big Law, it’s not always possible to sort out from whom the requested advice is coming from. With us it’s easy: our clients personally know who is advising them. In our experience, the chemistry between the attorney and the client is integral to successful representation,” Matti adds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From Competition to Cooperation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Like all partnerships, brotherhood grows in competitive circumstances.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“We’ve been competing literally in everything since we were kids. When Heikki got into law school, I knew I needed to hurry to graduate before him. He is a missile, both in terms of academic and working life. Even though we have just started working together, Heikki has professionally made a name for himself. Diligent and honest, the best possible background for a partner, even if he wasn´t my brother.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While Heikki has determined the speed, Matti has been the voice of wisdom along the way.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Voice of reason, that’s even his nickname in our group of friends. As a big brother, he has always been on my side and given the most reasonable advice also to me. Since we are friends and brothers, there is no such thing that we couldn´t discuss in depth as partners as well.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the beginning of his law studies Matti’s dream job was to become a sports agent.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“My intention was to represent ice hockey players, and it would not have been more than a couple of phone calls away, but after graduation I quickly realized that becoming an attorney was much more intriguing. Nevertheless, I have had the opportunity to represent athletes, clubs and federations in their legal matters.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After experiencing both global and local elite law firms, Matti wanted to do things differently.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I had had enough of certain routines that slow down the efficiency of providing the best possible legal advice. I knew there were plenty of more effective ways to get things done”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While Matti followed his calling, Heikki had the need to seek for righteousness. Even though outgoing and social are not the most common features of attorneys-in-law, he enjoyed his studies and noticed, first as a judge then counselling as an attorney, that his social qualities were crucial in solving difficult conflicts that others might see as frightening or burdensome.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I see conflict situations as positive challenges and enjoy solving them.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;……………&lt;/p&gt;
