2 Tieto Integrated Paper Solution TIPS The leading manufacturing execution system for paper mills Tieto knows the special requirements in a specialty paper mill, knows how to deal with interfaces and is also familiar with those functions that precede and follow production planning. Ulrich Baus, Managing Director for Mitsubishi HiTech Paper Europe GmbH

3 Welcome Tieto aims to become customers first choice for business renewal as the leading Nordic software and Services Company. Digitalization is proceeding with accelerating progress in society and we can observe how the rapid pace of technological progress is influencing consumers, and how new behaviors and expectations are taking form. Technologies are affecting society and beginning to disrupt business models that don t live up to the new requirements and they are pushing companies to start looking for new business models that meet the increasing need for efficiency, competitiveness, and flexibility for both short and longterm growth. The effects are visible across industries including the forest and paper industry. Tieto s Production Excellence aims to help companies that are undergoing a disruption brought by digitalization with focus on agile production control and optimized operational excellence. Tieto s way of working is that we staff each assignment with a selection of best consultants with mutually complementary capabilities, we utilize industry best practices and approaches, and we bridge the gap between business and IT. In the forest and paper industries, we believe that our customer s success will be possible with active participation in open ecosystems and co-innovation. If you d like to learn more about what we can do to create value for your business, please feel free to contact me or any of the team. Carsten Henke Head of Production Excellence & MD Tieto Germany

4 IT as the business enabler The paper industry is facing several business challenges in the rapidly changing business environment. The rising energy and raw materials costs cut into the revenue. In addition, there is constant competition for the limited raw materials, making it essential to be able to make quick decisions and to optimise the use of the materials. Declining customer demand creates price competition and overcapacity in the production. On top of all this, new environmental requirements force you to adjust your production and purchase processes while digital media and new technology call for quick response times and new transparency. The winners in this game are the players who are best able to turn these challenges into opportunities and competitive edge. Optimized and intelligent plants, together with an integrated and transparent sales process, will guarantee your future success. Using real-time information and investing in R&D will build your capabilities for the future, addressing new business areas and specializing in high-tech products. Transnational cooperation will provide you with new revenue streams to make up for the declining markets in the traditional fields. IT gives you the tools to do exactly that. The right IT solutions will offer you reduced complexity and easy integration. You will be able to increase automation and standardization. You will have access to real-time information and be able to provide it to your customers as well. You will be able to access the necessary information on the go or on site any time, any place, and with any mobile device. You will be able to get closer to your customers with new interactive tools. And finally, you will be able to provide new, value-adding services to your products. To be able to run global paper business with the efficiency and functionality requirements of today we needed to find the best-of-breed paper industry solution that could seamlessly link planning, business operations, and production processes together. It is clear that long term and valueadding collaboration combined with top level competences are the key as we want to stay competitive in the global business. Anders Samuelsson, IT Manager, SCA Ortviken
