The collaboration between Finitec and Cinia started in the autumn of 2020. Cinia was responsible for the ERP system of public administration IT networks, whose integration platform lifecycle was expected to be next in line for a redo. Therefore, an adept project manager with a strong software development background was needed to audit the current integration platform and the possible platform development project.
Cinia turned to Finitec thanks to Finitec's proactive and reliable approach. As a result, kai-Markus Lehtimäki was selected as the expert. He onboarded quickly and integrated well into the team.
Following the analysis of the integration platform, it became clear that the best overall solution was to launch a development project to build a new platform. As the initial project expanded into a development project, it was natural for Kai-Markus to take the lead role, working as an architect and a developer in addition to managing the project. The project has progressed as expected, and Kai-Markus has adapted very well to the existing environment.
Due to the excellent start of the cooperation, Cinia chose Finitec as its partner also in two cyber-surveillance projects. At the time, there was no suitable person available in-house to combine the skills of a project manager and a security expert, so Finitec brought Joonatan Kauppi and Cinia together.
Joonatan quickly got a grip on the projects, and they have progressed excellently. In addition to the project work, he has also received particular praise for his strong consultative approach and for bringing new perspectives to existing business models, as well as for his ability to harmonize customer expectations and Cinia's delivery promises.
