Together Sitowise and Ficonic strengthen their position as a Finnish pioneer in digital solutions for the built environment and mobility.

“The demand for digital solutions for the construction and mobility industries is growing strongly. Our  competencies  complement  each  other  wonderfully  -  and  Ficonic  has  valuable  expertise,  especially  in  mobility  and  transport  infrastructure  IT  solutions.  The  merger  will  give  us  more  strength to  grow  our  highly  competitive  digital  expertise,  which  is  at  the  heart  of  the  industry's  future”, says director Teemu Virtanen from Sitowise Digital Solutions business area.   

”Smart City solutions and digital mobility services are a very familiar operating environment to us. It is a pleasure to be part of the great Sitowise story where the expertise of the built environment and mobility, combined with the excellence of the IT industry, create unique synergies for our customers”, says Timo Salminen, CEO of Ficonic Solutions. 

Sitowise develops digital solutions for, for example, the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency, Traficom, Metsähallitus, Fingrid, telecom operators, the City of Helsinki and several Finnish municipalities. 

“We are involved in major Finnish built environment and mobility information system projects, such as the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency (Väylävirasto) Velho alliance project and the RAID-e project focusing on railroad data management. The industry is now experiencing a major digital revolution, and our unique IT solutions have been in high demand despite this exceptional year”, says Milla Lötjönen, Director of Mobility and Transport Infrastructure Digital Services at Sitowise. 

“It feels smooth and easy to start a journey together with a company that shares similar values ​​and a way of doing software development. We also have a common technology expertise and an agile methodology in IT projects. With the acquisition, we will now be able to recruit IT experts in the Central Finland area as well. This will help improve our position in the competitive IT market”, Lötjönen continues. 

Sitowise acquires the entire share capital of Ficonic in the transaction. The 15 experts working at Ficonic will continue in their current positions.
