Knowit and Amazon Web Services (AWS) establish Nordic strategic collaboration

The demand for cloud services is increasing with changed consumption behaviors and in step with the possibilities opened up by the latest technologies. Increased demand is being driven by organizations in sectors such as e-commerce, insurance, banking, manufacturing, healthcare, and the public sector. Organizations in these sectors seek to modernize infrastructure and leverage next-generation cloud technologies to drive productivity, efficiency, new business models, and to transform the customer experience.

Valmet, a leading global developer and supplier of process technologies, automation, and services for the pulp, paper, and energy industries, has chosen Knowit as its AWS partner. Knowit helps take care of all things AWS-related, for Valmet.

”For us, it was important to find a partner who has strong expertise and technological knowledge of AWS services and knows how to utilize those. In addition to that, Knowit has vast experience of industrial services and knowledge of Industrial Internet and its possibilities. With AWS-services, we are boosting our clients’ performance for example by utilising data for preventive maintenance” says Juha-Pekka Helminen, Director, Valmet Digital Ecosystem & Platform.
