Accelerating the Nordics digital revolution
February 10, 2022
By Jussi Jalasjoki, Chief Operating Officer, Manufacturing Benelux & Nordics
It is a mistake to believe that digital and society are not intertwined. There are no longer any boundaries between the way we live, work, and play and the digital environment that surrounds us. This is perhaps why the Nordics are leaders in many indicators on digital: they focus on using digital to create policies and environments that work for and support their populations.

February 10, 2022
By Claus Larsen, Country Manager – Denmark, Atos

February 10, 2022
By Timo Tiainen, Head of Operations – Nordics, Atos

Improving the adoption and strategic use of cloud across the Nordics
February 10, 2022
By Michael Luther, Head of Cloud Enterprise Services – Nordics, Atos
The Nordic region is, overall, mature when it comes to cloud adoption with recent research from a variety of sources suggesting a footprint of around 50%. However, barriers remain for some businesses with the journey to cloud not always easy and the benefits of moving to cloud could still be articulated more clearly. Because the conversation has not yet evolved sufficiently, strategic use of cloud still lags in the rest of Europe.

Jaakko Hartikainen CEO, IDEAL GRP, an Atos company
The Nordic region has a proud history in manufacturing. Both historically and today, they have had an aggressive sector with manufacturers who have punched above their weight globally. In recent decades, they have had to increasingly up their game through smart factories and digitalization to compete against its competitors and the other large global powerhouses. SME manufacturers within the Nordics have often led the way in terms of innovation, particularly within their production lines, but the larger global manufacturers have further work to do, since the maturity on digitalization differs from region to region.

February 10, 2022
By Sami Kuorilehto, Client Executive Partner, Public Sector & Defense, Finland, Sweden & Baltics, Atos
The Nordics countries have long been leaders in progressive societies and policies that focus on citizen services and wellbeing. Digitalization has created an incredible framework from which to improve and update services. It has challenged us to question existing norms and practices and re-create them, to make them work more flexibly for individuals and communities. In practice, digitalization brings citizens, companies, and public services together and this is well demonstrated by the smart city agenda.

February 10, 2022
By Harri Saikkonen, Managing Director – Nordics, Atos
The World Economic Forum believed that the Nordics societal model would stand it in good stead to recover quickly from COVID-19. They highlighted their generous social safety nets, relatively low dependence on tourism and mature and widespread digitalization. They have been proved correct. Several indicators have shown that the Nordics have recovered from the social and economic impacts of COVID-19 faster than the rest of Europe, this despite regional differences in managing the health crisis.

February 10, 2022
By Marianne Hewlett, Chief Marketing Officer, Northern Europe, Atos
Although there are significant differences across the separate countries, the Nordics share an ambitious social policy agenda with a strong focus on happiness and wellbeing. This ambition stretches to workplace and labour policy and practices with the Nordics being front runners in flexible working both pre and post pandemic.
