Tietoviikko reports that Finland (my home country) is the world’s best IT country according to World Economic Forum study The Global Information Technology Report 2013. According to the study, Finland is the world’s number one country when it comes to the economy’s ability to use information technology to competitiveness and prosperity. Finland has toppled Sweden from the top spot in a ranking of economies that are best placed to benefit from new information and communication technologies (ICTs). The question still remains how this result was got because there are many things in Finland ICT that are are far from very good, so are other countries just much lousier on those aspects?

At the core of the report, the Networked Readiness Index (NRI) measures the preparedness of an economy to use ICT to boost competitiveness and well-being. In this edition, Finland (1st), Singapore (2nd) and Sweden (3rd) continue to lead the NRI, with the Netherlands (4th), Norway (5th), Switzerland (6th), the United Kingdom (7th), Denmark (8th), the United States (9th) and Taiwan, China (10th) completing the top 10.

    If the project is implemented agile methods be built in a multi-vendor model, smaller modules could be tested faster. Then do not be made in time to prepare the overall architecture of the system.

    Project Director Välimäki told reporters that the social and health care costs have risen by five per cent each year over the past decade. An aging population increases the need for treatment.

    The increased costs may curb Välimäki’s by introducing better management and more efficient operations. Recognition measures, the system consumes 20-40 percent of the staff working hours. The abbot is to harmonize and clarify the recording methods.

    Initially, a gigantic effort

    Apotissa is not Välimäki’s that it is not only the IT system but to change, and improving the efficiency of the whole approach. The ideas have been applied in Europe and North America taken from large patient information system projects.

    The first introduction of the abbot is to take place in mid-year 2017. Project Director Välimäki admitted that the first version has been appointed as a pilot, which may have been misled. It is rather the first step in the rollout.

    “Resources must invest a lot in the beginning. If it does not cost much at the beginning, so it costs a lot at the end,” said the Espoo ICT Director Matti Franck.

    Espoo Abbot withdrew from the project, among other things, that the city estimated that the project would bind too much of its information technology resources.

    Finnish ICN TETRA based on the TETRA technology, which is not designed for transmission of broadband data, such as video. Thus, it is clear that one of the TETRA schedule changes to the LTE network traffic authorities. However, the timetable for the change is completely transparent.

    Two from hundred software company to be successful growing rapidly

    Only a small part of Finnish software companies are willing to take the risk properly to get the big market.

    There are three types of growth companies. Those who do not have higher growth desires, for example, a few people consulting companies or local companies. Second is growth-oriented companies that do not succeed in its objectives, and the third is a growth-oriented companies that succeed in its objectives. You can see this for software companies have done this year inquiry which replies are currently being analyzed for the report.

    “Growth entrepreneurship is important because companies willing to grow experimenting with new technologies, business practices and the market regardless of whether they manage”, the report assesses the corresponding analysis section of Computer Science Department of the University of Jyväskylä, the deputy head of Eetu Luoma.

    “Finland will remain in international competition in ICT industry with the only growth-seeking and risk by unscrupulous companies.”

    Of all the software companies, therefore, only two hundred to succeed very strong growth, that is, access to the so-called gaselle companies ranks.

    Finland’s net sales in IT software services industry is around EUR 7.5 billion, an increase of almost ten per cent over the previous year. This chapter has been removed from the game company supercel effect, because it alone raised the pot almost 10 per cent more.

    One of these is a software company F-Secure, the aim of which is a growth of over ten percent of turnover.

    “The biggest barrier to growth is getting us the top experts when pursuing cyber security leadership in Europe,” says Managing Director Christian Fredriksson.

    Apart from its own recruitment of F-Secure increasingly seeking new acquisition targets.

    Growth Money is not self-evident

    “Novice software and game companies get venture capitalists early-stage finance, but have grown into larger businesses has been more difficult to get funding, for example, to reach the US market. Banks are not just the software industry value.”

    Finnish software companies employ about 60 000 people, but tens of thousands of people working in public administration, services and industry software development tasks.

    “The software industry companies estimate that they would hire more and more people”

    Thus the Indians win negotiations – will take over the Finnish IT market in a quick pace

    Indian service providers have conquered mightily Finnish IT services market.

    Finnish IT services market have been around for nearly decades of established, mainly in the big IT houses in the playground. No longer is not the case. The pace of change has been rapid.

    Tata Consultancy Services, HCL and other Indians have succeeded in grabbing the country for almost eight per cent stake in Finnish IT service market in a few years.

    The reasons for the success of Indians are many, says research firm Gartner principal analyst Mika Rajamäki.

    First of all, Indian IT houses consider the entire European market in Scandinavia in his eyes. Market northernmost in Europe look attractive in the eyes of Indians and that is why companies expand here.

    Nordic countries know how very English, as opposed to, for example, southern European countries. Also, technological expertise is strong in Scandinavia.

    It also seems that the Indians work quite vigorously in front of it, what they decide to do.

    “They are able to make decisions faster than others in negotiation situations and are willing to put more money in the game,”

    In practice, the speed means that the Indians are able to meet a particular customer’s desire faster than traditional IT houses.

    Indians are also willing to share the customer’s risk.

    Finnish customers now have a maximum of 2-3 years experience of Indian IT service stores. Rajamäki customer satisfaction has been very high.

    “Sure, it’s a different thing an ordinary employee and business management experience,”

    The Indians certainly are made tougher competition in the Finnish market, but the money and the price of trampling is not the case. Companies have had to set up offices in Finland in order to be close to our customers. Wage levels is the same as in established companies.

    Typically, almost half of Indian companies working in offices in Finland are Finnish.

    On the other hand, many for a long time worked in Finland companies such as Accenture, Tieto and are labor-intensive in India where the headquarters countries like actors.

    “Still, the Indians themselves have wondered how slowly they have reached the Finnish market”

    Docventures to set up business incubators in reception centers and makes entrants start-up entrepreneurs

    This year, Finland arrives in a record number of asylum seekers, the most recent estimates, the Interior Ministry, a total of 25 000-30 000.

    Under Finnish law, the asylum seeker can not work after three months in the country, if only to an identity is proven. Because of the large number of people of asylum applications processing times stretched in any stretch, and people have to wait for the decision of inactivity centers up to a year.

    “There’s a lot of untapped potential, people who have been able to act in the past, for example, small-scale entrepreneurs, such as dealers, repairers, service and sales sector. Quite a few also thinks that wants to give back, after we have received protection and security.”

    Therefore, Rantala and Milonoff founded Startup Refugees project in which they challenge the ordinary Finns, entrepreneurs and organizations that support the remaining settling in Finland.

    Startup Refugees, inter alia, sharing start-up as well as organizing mentoring and training to those who want it in reception centers.

    The aim is to encourage people exercised their profession in a reception center: someone could provide interpretation services, the other to sell barber or a bakery service in the nearby area businesses and pensioners.

    Everything would be paid, of course, the wage and salary taxes

    Siili tripled its value, now seeks stock exchange to League

    Hedgehog Solutions’ CEO Seppo Kuula has asked a man to advise on how the company runs a technology road Stock Exchange. The reason is clear: In 2012, the self-urchin newly listed stock market has been a success story.

    “The main driver in pursuing the main list is the fact that the First North -list has been a bit murky small investors’ eyes. It does not bring the daily visibility of the shares, which is why the volume of shares traded and thus value creation suffers. This remedy the Main List”

    “In Sweden, ten times the number of companies listed on all the time First North. From there, even small companies to apply for funding and rising later in the main list. We want to be in Finland this particular route pioneer, ”

    How to instruct listing on reflective technology companies?

    “The first thing is to note that the process is not exactly cheap. It costs hundreds of thousands of euros. It must be able to afford without that it cripples the business, ”

    “Operating must be well managed so as to be able to see the forward and the 6-12 months to communicate. If this is not capable, investors are difficult to trust shares. ”

    “We actually get some shares publicly traded value, we created a currency for acquisitions. Public valuation is demonstrably worked”

    One considering the fact that the listed company receives customers in the direction of a healthy new kind of credibility dose through transparent processes weighed. It has been an advantage, since the Hedgehog competes with the long-established giants. Higher status also makes it easier to recruit good employees.

    Is there a list of olossa anything negative?

    The Finnish economy is in trouble: productivity has fallen and the cost of labor increased. Companies are doing poorly and the state into debt.

Or put the other way around: if the government will stick to five percent cost reduction for companies to think about the means to the Board of Directors and the planned funding is insufficient to target.

    Either, therefore, lacking funding or else the effects will be short.

    The Board of Directors had left in its calculations the fact that because of the additional expense did not want to take credit, it will collect savings from the public sector or in practice in the public sector by shortening the holidays and public holidays, and by reducing overtime supplements.

    Now, this equation does not hold. If the government will have to reduce social security contributions more than planned, contribution to the state to compensate for increases in premium income. And if the government wishes to continue its debt rather than to finance the social security tax savings to keep the amount of savings to grow.

    How to find a hidden job

    Are you leaving your present position? Looking for a new location by browsing through your own work experience and your education jobs that match? The modern job seeker would be smarter to find interesting companies, which would like to go to work.

    “Just vacancies available is old-fashioned,” emphasizes Solita recruitment manager Kati Putty.

    According to him, the IT expert should follow closely the development of the industry and learn to recognize the signals that tell hidden jobs. For example, if a company has received a big trade and explains their brisk growth targets, it probably needs more experts, even though its pages have not yet been told vacancies.

    “If all signs point to the fact that its own know-how could be in demand, you should send the company an open application. The application is important to point out what kind of skills oneself is, and how could benefit an undertaking, “Kitti advises.

    According to him, the concrete arguments and the clear benefits of interest to companies: “I’ll help you out here. I will help you get here. ”

    “A smart candidate will create jobs for themselves”

    Kit according to the smart candidate can even give birth to company recruitment needs, which it did not know existed.

    Open application will be best company at the right moment.

    “The bigger the company, the longer the delay in recruitment seems to be necessary to understand a new expert input to the workplace.”

    Europe is facing a nervous breakdown because of the refugee crisis

    EU arrived in January-July, almost 340 000 immigrants, tells the news agency AFP

    The refugee crisis spread in Europe the fears, anxiety and frustration. German researcher explains.

    Europe is going through a kind of collective nervous breakdown, summarized the Carnegie Europe in Brussels -tutkimuskeskusta leader Jan Techau.

    It is in this context a political nervous breakdown, which is a different thing than the clinical version, but a genuinely distressing, however.

    Anxiety comes alongside the suffering and distress that the progress is very rapid and complex disaster, which is difficult to grasp. Such upheavals are today.

    Other researchers speak of “black swan”, ie the crisis, which is not prepared for and that will change everything.

    Except that this crisis did not come as a surprise, except maybe proportions. Techau of the complicated crisis was preceded by a complex failure.

    Europe has failed immigration, integration, security areas, border management, humanitarian assistance, the fight against organized crime, labor market policy, the construction of identity, trade, intra-EU solidarity, development cooperation, and finally also in foreign policy.

    The end result is the “complexity hell.”

    To provide simple solutions can be seen in this context as a political cashes people distress. It is, unfortunately, on the move in Europe.

    Want to digital business? Start by digitizing IT

    Although companies are increasingly dependent on applications, when the business submits to digitalis, most still develop and maintain applications just like in the last century had the habit. I think it is high time to industrialize the use of information technology.

    Each business is becoming digital, if not already. None of the industry has not been left aside, for example, enable mobility and cloud computing bring upheavals. I

    Companies must be able at all times providing its customers with innovative new products and services as quickly as possible. At the same time they are seeking applications help to automate manual work, streamlining operations and finding cost savings. Coping with these challenges requires that the company is able to effectively and timely to develop and maintain the correct applications.

    Yet, most companies increasingly rely on information technology business models that were used in the last century – in fact, those models with cars were produced in the early 1900s!

    The development of applications takes too much time and effort

    At that time, when the automobile industry was in its infancy, the cars were made one at a time.

    Approximately like this application takes place today. One application mobilization will take weeks or months, because the wheel is invented every time again, the servers will be erected and subcontractors led a project at a time. The process is slow and expensive, and includes a lot of error-prone manual work. If innovations are created, they are confined inside silos.

    Before the digital revolution, such an approach was good enough for most companies. Now the situation is different. Many would be willing to take a decisive step towards a new model, “Application Development Model T in a” where service development are made significantly faster and more efficiently.

    How IT industrialization is done? The amendment assumes that the company introduced a complete solution that covers the life cycle of application management from end to end. It includes maintenance and updates for automation and re-use of all components.

    Why has not this already been done?

    The company’s IT in the industrial automation is a major project. It explains why the model not yet been widely deployed. Another reason is the slowing caused by traditional core of the burden of information systems – are bound to ensure that a number of existing systems of production will remain stable and uninterrupted. They can be either in their own data centers or a service maintainable, and each of them requires its own processes, its procedures and tools in order to. On the other hand, many companies also have access to high-quality third-party applications, which is why my application would be pointless and unproductive.

    In any case, any application must be able to integrate with the company’s existing systems, and it must be supported by a multi-vendor environment, where the infrastructure, platforms and applications are many different partners and produced by the developer.

    What’s the good news? The fact that all of the above presenting it is theoretically possible to get service today, when the use of the new generation of cloud services and all the speed, flexibility and efficiency, which they offer.

    I am quite sure that it’s for the foreseeable future it’s industrialization has been more than just a pipe dream. It will be a pioneering companies the real way to jump to the top of the race.

    Either you’re ready to automate your applications lifecycle management, and to move in earnest digital business?

    Intelligent network nurse on duty at all times – would save 90 million per year for Finland

    Self-diagnosis of illness with Google, may lead to wrong conclusions. Also, social and health care sector is understood that the network era of the people must be offered opportunities to take care of their health network services.

    Self-Care in the network is calculated, for example, could save the Espoo annual health expenditure by EUR 17 per capita. Throughout Finland savings account for about 90 million a year.

    The current ODA project to develop services which could be widely available in 2018.

    Health care is desired network era

    “Hardly anyone of us longs to bank interaction, the selection of paper tax returns or travel agency catalog. A similar change is needed social and health services, “says ODA Project Manager Hanna Nordlund.

    “Nobody who is not taking out the possibility of the use of traditional services. Professionals will be way more time to serve those who need services and who need more intensive treatment. Resources can be allocated correctly and delivers significant savings. ”

    ODA sought to promote the Finance Ministry said the top project finance government program digitalization. Funding would ensure that the work is progressing quickly and that the services will be introduced nationally. The development of services could start turn of the year. Definition of work has been done soles nights, one and a half years.

    The municipality is already in use Self-Care, but now designed the next generation of intelligent services that seek user’s profile client and patient information systems, as well as self-stored information, and are able to provide individual advice. In some municipalities the ODA services will complement existing services and, in some replace them.

    Smart service will make recommendations on the basis of patient data

    “Healthcare Operations logic nowadays is based on phone calls or receive visits. Intelligent services to meet an individual’s concern that pärjätäänkö self-treatment, or if I need to go get some help, “Nordlund says.

    The web service information would be available around the clock. The aim is not only to guide people to treat but to help them to self-solve problems and handle situations.

    Planned three services.

    Prosperity Supervision allows you to get a comprehensive analysis of the situation and recommendations on what should pay attention to and what lifestyle should be changed.

    Another service would help to assess the individual symptom should be and whether you need to visit the doctor and how to manage the disease itself, if it is possible. Through the service, could get a referral laboratory or postgraduate studies or neuvn seek social side of the property.

    The service is based treatment guidelines and could retrieve patient information, but also, for example, activity bracelet the patient’s self-stored information. Self-collected data is becoming a national extension loyal service.

    The third service is targeted at those who need long-term treatment. It combines social and health care plans – customers no longer need to tell the same thing several times with different professionals. Being of their own can keep track of various indicators, for example, or diaries kept by the customer.
