In the ever-evolving media landscape, digitization and content consumption through digital channels have led to significant shifts. With rising print media costs, evolving distribution, diminishing farms, and the drift towards digital services, Viestimedia needed a data strategy aligning with their future vision and corporate business strategy.

In the data strategy, pivotal use cases were discerned and prioritized to enhance customer relations, profitability, and competitive positioning, laying a foundation for future success. Quick wins were identified to allow Viestimedia an agile commencement in utilizing data.
The result of the project was a business-aligned development roadmap that made data advancement transparent, detailing value creation areas, use cases, and their implementation stages. The roadmap was designed for the ensuing three years, segmented by value creation areas and diverse development projects.
Simultaneously, we executed a capability development roadmap to facilitate the enhancement of data warehouses, data platform architecture, roles, and data governance.
