Finnish technology magazine Tivi reports on our newly established Data & AI business unit in Finland,
headed by Ergin Tuganay, who has long held leadership roles at both Nortal Finland and our international operations. The growing need for organizations to leverage data and integrate artificial intelligence into daily business creates pressure to renew both operating models and technology architectures. This new unit responds to this demand by providing more comprehensive solutions to a broad range of clients and industries. By bringing together our expertise in consulting, modern platforms, data engineering, AI/ML, and analytics, it will strengthen our ability to deliver end-to-end solutions that improve efficiency, competitiveness, and innovation.
“Many organizations in both the private and public sectors have vast amounts of data, but often lack the processes, platforms, and practices needed to turn that data into real business value. At the same time, the pressure to adopt artificial intelligence is increasing. Yet, effective use of AI requires high-quality data, clear governance models, and the capability to build AI-ready solutions. We are now addressing this need by providing our clients with a comprehensive service that covers strategic planning, implementation, and continuous development,” says Tuganay.
The most pressing AI-related challenge for organizations today is how to harness data and artificial intelligence effectively to support their business. In practice, this can mean improving production quality, optimizing energy use, refining customer segmentation, enhancing sales monitoring, or developing new service models.
In manufacturing, rising raw material costs, tariffs, and trade tensions are driving companies to find new ways to control expenses and remain competitive. Real-time data and AI can help anticipate failures, optimize processes, save energy, and improve worker safety, enabling solutions such as minimizing material waste, predictive maintenance, energy optimization, automated quality control, and predictive analytics for occupational safety.
In addition to the private sector, data and artificial intelligence also offer significant opportunities in the public sector, both for improving citizen services and increasing the efficiency of administration.
In Finland, Nortal has traditionally been known as a digital partner for the industrial, energy, and public sectors. With the establishment of the new Data & AI business unit, we will now serve a broader range of clients and industries.
“For a long time, we have been building solutions around data and IoT and helping our customers leverage artificial intelligence as part of their digitalization strategies. The newly established business unit further strengthens this expertise and provides our customers with a broader service model,” says Harri Vepsäläinen, CEO of Nortal Finland.
The new business unit brings together our expertise across five core areas: data and AI consulting and governance models, modern technology platforms, data engineering, artificial intelligence and machine learning, as well as business intelligence and analytics.
