Promoting digitalisation requires close cooperation with various stakeholders as well as the appropriate allocation and development of roles and competences', says Autio.
The NLS has several significant development and modernisation projects in progress, with the continued development of the Residential and Commercial Property Information System and the modernisation of the topographic data production system being strategically the most important. The programme for the modernisation of property data is also proceeding with business and data architecture in cooperation with municipalities.
At the same time, another development programme is underway, whose key goal is to modernise the NLS’s capacity and data centre services to better correspond to future needs and to support the transition to cloud technologies.
'We have a significant opportunity to show our skills and our adaptability in development work as well as to direct operations in cooperation with various parties. We will be promoting solutions and operational models for operational development that ensure greater user satisfaction, reliability and cost effectiveness', says Autio.
