CEO’s comment
Comment regarding the interim report by Kimmo Alkio, President and CEO:
“We had a strong start to the year with sales growth of 7% for the Group and
improved profitability – all of our businesses performed solidly. During the
first quarter, we were also able to increase our growth rate in Sweden to 10%.
Our recent customer wins are encouraging as we have been able to expand our
operations with new services across the Nordics.
Our investments, in terms of both new services and competencies, play a
fundamental role in our long-term renewal. Given the global nature of our
business, continued attention on innovation, competitiveness and efficiency
remain important to our future success. During the first quarter, we continued
to increase investments in Industry Solutions and started the next phase of our
automation programme which is a key element in efficiency improvement. One of
the highlights in our investment portfolio is the recently launched OneCloud, a
highly competitive solution that allows customers to efficiently manage both
private and public cloud services.
In 2017 Tieto is taking part in Finland's centennial celebration. We honour our
Finnish heritage by activating a discussion on the impacts of technology on the
future of work. As digitalization accelerates, learning as a lifestyle is
increasingly important for both our employees and Tieto’s competitiveness.”
