Solita and QPR Software partner in Finland to transform business processes with AI. Published 16 Jun 2026 Reading time 3 min Solita, the AI and data transformation company, and QPR Software, a Finnish company specialising in process mining and modelling, have entered into a partnership to empower mid-sized companies and public sector organisations in Finland with advanced process intelligence. The partnership combines Solita's expertise in process transformation, change management, data and AI with QPR's Snowflake-native platform, QPR ProcessAnalyzer. This enables organisations to translate their operational data directly into measurable process improvements and uncover data quality issues at their source, leveraging their existing Snowflake investment. The joint offering is designed for focused, evidence-based initiatives that generate value quickly and scale based on proven results. "Our clients see the immense potential in their data, but they need a practical way to unlock its value for process improvement," says Ville Marjusaari, Business Area Lead, Transformation at Solita. "By combining our transformation capabilities with QPR's Snowflake-native technology, we can help to pinpoint high-impact improvement areas, implement changes effectively, and demonstrate value right from the start, all on their existing data platform." Delivering faster time-to-value on top of existing data platforms. QPR Software is a Finnish pioneer in process mining and process modelling, with more than 30 years of experience and hundreds of process mining projects delivered globally. Its QPR ProcessAnalyzer platform offers strong, classical process mining capabilities, including event log analysis, conformance checking, root-cause analysis and monitoring, without unnecessary complexity. QPR Software has also been recognised as a Visionary in the 2026 Gartner(R) Magic Quadrant(TM) for Process Intelligence Platforms. Process mining helps organisations address data quality issues by analysing event logs from operational systems such as ERP, CRM, ticketing and finance. It can quickly reveal missing events, broken case IDs across systems, inconsistent identifiers, bad timestamps and manual steps that are not logged. This transparency helps teams address root causes in source systems instead of relying on repeated data clean-up. "QPR ProcessAnalyzer's native presence on Snowflake and its focus on what truly matters in process mining make it a natural building block in modern data platforms," says Nela Ferreira, Head of Business Development and Partnerships at QPR Software. "Combined with Solita's business consulting, data and AI expertise, it gives customers a pragmatic way to improve how their organisations run." For customers, the partnership provides in particular: * Faster time-to-value, focusing on clear insights and measurable process improvements * The ability to start with low-risk pilots that fit limited budgets and resources, and expand based on proven results * Tight integration with existing data platforms such as Snowflake, avoiding new technology silos * Improved data quality as a by-product of increased process transparency Looking ahead, Solita and QPR are exploring joint offerings in areas such as AI-agentic workflows powered by process intelligence, Snowflake-based process analytics, and targeted improvement projects in core operational processes.

Solita participates in NATO Innovation Range exercise. Published 08 Jun 2026 Reading time 2 min Solita is participating in the NATO Innovation Range (NIR) event, which brings together Finnish and international defence technology companies in Finland from 1-10 June 2026. The event will test, integrate and evaluate technologies in realistic operational environments. The event series brings together technology developers, operational actors and NATO-related capability development projects across multiple locations and use scenarios. Testing will be conducted in maritime conditions in Turku, eastern border operational environments in Joensuu, scenarios related to autonomous systems and long-range communications in Oulu, and command and control system integration environments in Riihimäki. The Ministry of Defence serves as the national responsible authority for the testing events. Authorised by the Ministry of Defence, the Digital Defence Ecosystem (DDE) and DEFINE (Defence Innovation Network Finland) innovation ecosystems are responsible for organising the event series, in collaboration with the Borderland Europe project and Business Joensuu, Business Oulu and Business Turku. Solita is a founding member of the Digital Defence Ecosystem. "Significant investment and job creation are emerging globally in the defence and security sector in the near future. It's excellent that Finland, through strong public-private collaboration, has been able to provide such outstanding conditions for NATO's testing event. Our ecosystem gets to test both the latest technologies and effective collaboration during the event, as well as showcase our expertise to the NATO network," says Janne Niinivaara from Solita's Defence & Security. For Finland, the event represents an important step in building sustained NATO-related innovation and testing activities. For participating companies, it offers an opportunity to validate their technologies in demanding conditions, collaborate with other actors, and demonstrate the operational relevance of their solutions within the NATO framework. The testing events include Finnish and international companies from NATO countries. Technology areas being tested include command and control systems and integrations, AI and data applications, communications technologies, sensor systems, and counter-drone systems, which play an increasingly central role in developing modern defence capabilities.
