The NLS ensures a stable society and secures the future

Here at the National Land Survey of Finland (NLS), we updated our strategy and presented it recently to our key stakeholders.

Postpone conversion of share certificates to registrations of ownership

At the NLS, there is significant congestion in apartment ownership registrations, as customers have started to transfer their share certificates to electronic systems in abundance, and the NLS’s additional resources have not yet relieved the situation.

Only research enables us to lead the way

Laser scanning is a topical example of how long-term investments in research produce new information and methods that help achieve significant societal and financial benefits, even today.

“We should’ve applied for...” – A pro forma registration of title makes it easier

A pro forma registration of title is useful when the property owner changes when the previous owner dies, for example. In a pro forma registration of title, ownership information is updated in the register, enabling electronic transactions.

Shifting to the Residential and Commercial Property Information System

In July, Yle and various newspapers reacted to our announcement of the Residential and Commercial Property Information System: housing companies need to fulfil their obligations and transfer their lists of shares to the Residential and Commercial Property Information System before the end of this year.

Employees value progressiveness, stability and flexibility

Job satisfaction surveys give us plenty of valuable information, but targeted open questions allow us to ask about topics that cannot be reviewed with just quantitative questions.

What is the direction the Government Programme gives the NLS?

We read the Government Programme from our perspective in society: What kind of changes will the Programme” impose on the National Land Survey, and how will its policies guide the demand for our services?

Open source is everywhere – we should try to understand it

Open source components are used because they help reduce costs, accelerate software development and improve quality.

Research of geospatial data and positioning is first-rate in Finland

Geospatial know-how brings benefits for companies, society and science.

Strongly towards the new Government term

Until now, the NLS has developed and modernised its activities through available funding, but the changes in the public economy are also reflected in our income flows.
