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.
Global Information Technology Report 2013 has a nice map that visualizes the network readiness of different countries.

The industry’s digital revolution requires a customer-oriented approach
Finnish industrial production revolution requires a new kind of customer orientation, estimates VTT’s Research Scientist Heidi Korhonen his doctoral dissertation. Customer orientation is seen in his view, in particular, industry service innovation and co-development perspective.
Industrial production structures have changed dramatically, and the share and role of the services continue to grow even though they are still firmly attached to the devices and systems.
Industrial innovation is expanded, however, more and more toward services, product-service systems and customer solutions, which emphasizes Heidi Korhonen says that the importance of customer orientation.
Based on the results of industrial digital service companies in transition must be taken into activity by a stronger customer-supplier interaction. Service innovation is seen as a multi-layered system.

The first Finnish operator to start the Internet of Things with Sigfox
In September, Finland opens specially designed for the Internet of Things Sigfox wireless network. Soon, half of the population are behind a comprehensive network operator business
Startup headquarters is a large room on the upper floor of the building Innopoli, The Ring’s arm in Espoo, Finland.
“There is a lot of talk about the fact that everything that can be connected to the Internet also connected. But it does not happen, if it costs a lot. We need technologies to the switching of billions of devices performing simple things done on the cheap, ”
This funding will allow the company has built a long-range radio network based on the French Sigfoxin technology, which already covers 40 per cent of the Finnish population. Commercial use Finnish Sigfox network is scheduled to open in the second half of September.
“We have ourselves witnessed in rural areas more than 200 kilometers of range. Radio modulation itself does not set limits, but the range is dependent on the height of the antenna and on how the built environment,”
Initially, the coverage area covers the largest concentrations in Southern Finland: Helsinki Metropolitan Area, Tampere, Turku, Lahti, Hämeenlinna, Porvoo, Kotka and Jyväskylä. The spring of next year the target is 85 per cent population coverage and the proliferation of many new city, such as Oulu and Kuopio.
Prices are still on the drawing board
Ten-year battery life
Sigfox equipped with a radio sensor device stacks up easily with just a battery for ten years.
The network operates license-free 868 MHz frequency range.
Sigfox suitable for transmitting small amounts of data. A single message to a maximum size of 12 bytes, and can be sent at intervals of no more than once in ten minutes.
suitable for different sensors, which you want to receive regular information, for example, temperature, humidity, or the meter reading
The world’s largest Sigfox client is Veri Sure Securitas Direct. It has over a million intrusion protection, where the network connection is Sigfoxin 3g and the combination of. The alarm is triggered through the Sigfox network, even if the intruder would use the mobile network jamming device.
Connected Finland now expect that the Finnish developers and companies to take up a new network opportunities.

Elisa’s new service hook: calls abroad, the domestic prices
Elisa introduced a Wi-Fi and 4G telephony for commercial use on the first telecom operator in Finland.
Telecom operator Elisa provides telephone access to Wi-Fi calls. passing through a wireless broadband telephony in particular, should improve coverage indoors.
The service also allows calls to Finland from abroad call prices when the phone is connected to a Wi-Fi network.

In practice, this means that when in Finland a Wi-Fi calls to foreign countries go further foreign prices, as well as for calls from abroad to abroad. Instead of calling from abroad to Finland generated savings.
When making a call or receiving, however, should check whether the telephone remains a Wi-Fi network. If not, the call is done in accordance with the roaming pricing.
Does not work on all phones
Technology will initially use the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge Samsung Galaxy phones, and it has to be activated to EUR 3.90 as paying an additional service.
Virkki, the service requires phone-specific testing and approval, as well as service support enabling the phone software update from the manufacturer. The service is connected to the customer on top of other additional services the same way.
- Later will be like a faster rollout, says Virkki.
Introduction of the service will also join 4g-ie VoLTE calls. Until now, 4g has a passed only the data and voice calls are forwarded to a 2G or 3G network.

Digitalization is not a silver bullet
Silver bullet is a simple and effective solution to the complex problem.
The term also includes all the irrational expectations, which are loaded into the weapon when the horror stories you want to let the werewolf to death. after a cross from vintage solution is not left to be other than cleaning up after.
Digitalisation offered a silver bullet national problems, among other things Sipilä government program. around the issue has been assembled half a dozen leading projects, promising to digitize public services and streamline regulations. Progress has undoubtedly taken place, as more and more of the tax returns submitted online, and apply for a passport is sufficient simplest for a quick visit to a photo shop.
The software addresses the growing number of manual process, but when the May survey interviewed thousand of Finnish IT and business decision-makers from the private and the public sector, 51 per cent felt that the digitalisation impact on their business is small or non-existent.
Gartner analyst Toni Nygren According to Finland is not fully understood the impact of the rate and extent. It is no wonder that Finnish e-services stack up, when the bosses digitalization is similar to the Internet, passing fad.
In the business world silver digitalisaatioluodin hype is at least the order of the government program. The only not excited about the digitalization is an IT service company Tieto, which in January 2015 launched a co-operation negotiations with end customers ‘digitalization’
The corporate side, things go completely awry when digitalization mean only copying the existing analogue processes into digital form. The net is rife, for example, forms which immediately notice that the paper version is accurately copied in digital format. The user experience is so quite as bad as might expect – spooky.
If a company wants to digitalisation silver bullet business, the need to use time and resources at least as much as when the analog world was built. Even more
If the cash register singing is entirely dependent on the digital customer experience, it is bound to succeed or else in front of the operation slow but sure decline. In the analog world, the competition could be only limited and localized, the digitalization has become fierce and international.

The degree of automation rises gradually
So far, have experimented with automatism news production big players such as the US news agency AP (Associated Press), for example, to write the balance sheet analysis. Economic the news, but also the sports news is already automatically around the world.
“It is expected that other news types can be automated to a certain extent, depending on the availability of certain data stricter journalism”
