Technia Conquers the Construction Industry with a Contract from Skanska in Finland
Technia has signed an agreement with Skanska in Finland, concerning a delivery of a PLM-solution based on the ENOVIA PLM Solutions from Dassault Systèmes. The delivery is comprised of software, Technia consulting services and components. This order expands Technia´s market into the construction industry; Technia and Skanska will deploy the next generation project support for the construction industry.
The solution will be comprised of a project-hub for more than 2,000 users and a cost-planning tool integrated into the project hub. The ability to collaborate in the entire Skanska value chain from customer, contractors and suppliers will help Skanska to shorten lead times and enforce practices leading to more industrialized business processes.
“I'm confident that Skanska will be able to provide better transparency leading to improved decision making and project control with the selected solution. By using concepts from other industries and with a Technia and Dassault Systèmes partnership, I expect to significantly improve our operations leading to increased value for Skanska's customers”, says Hannu Hakkarainen, CIO of Skanska in Finland.
“This is a key win in Finland and potentially also in the Nordics and globally since Skanska is one of the world’s leading construction groups. It represents a major growth opportunity for Technia with a new industry segment. I´m impressed with our Finnish team’s ability to take our PLM skills and technology to this new market segment”, says Jonas Gejer, VP at Technia.
“More and more challenges drive the construction industry to be more innovative and competitive on time and costs. With Dassault Systèmes ENOVIA PLM Solutions and Technia expertise we feel confident to reach those challenges and to contribute to the success of Skanska. This is a large scale project with a short implementation time, the passionate team with full motivation will secure the delivery of this solution”, says Denis Senpere, Senior Vice President of Dassault Systèmes and General Manager of ENOVIA Europe.
