Key drivers were, in particular, the requirements set by in-house procurement legislation for service provision, as well as the need to incorporate artificial intelligence into the city&#8217;s processes and knowledge management in a controlled manner.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What we did<\/strong><br \/>Konsulttiverkko acted as the city\u2019s partner on this transformation journey. We utilized an agile and collaborative model where leadership and different municipal sectors together defined how AI and new regulations would be addressed as part of modern IT management and daily work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Results<\/strong><br \/>A clear and strategic IT management model was created that directly addresses legislative and technological challenges. The renewal ensured that Kuopio now has the capability to lead digitalization cost-effectively and harness new technologies to boost productivity.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/konsulttiverkko.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Kuopion-kaupunki_tietohallintouudistus.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Kuopion kaupunki_tietohallintouudistus&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.9&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.9&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo credit: Vicente Serra, city of Kuopio<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The City of Kuopio, home to approximately 127,000 residents, renewed its IT management model and governance system to ensure agile and cost-effective digitalization. &#8220;Konsulttiverkko\u2019s expertise combined with a flexible and customer-centric approach made the collaboration extremely smooth.
