Siili Solutions Plc acquires Avaus Consulting Oy and the Polish
subsidiary - New company is a leading provider of digital
services and solutions in Finland.
Dear Customer,
Siili Solutions Plc has today acquired the full ownership of Avaus Consulting Oy, a company
specialised in digital service design and development, as well as its subsidiary in Wroclaw, Poland.
The new company is a leading provider of digital services and solutions in Finland with a strong
foundation for internationalisation.
The entire personnel of Avaus Consulting will continue in their current roles and there are no
changes to ongoing customer projects or agreements. Also, the company name will remain “Avaus
Consulting Oy” until the end of the year 2014. We are more than happy to discuss the services
provided by the new group and the value we can deliver together.
”Avaus is an innovation partner of the digital age - one who designs and delivers success stories to
its customers through creative business design, modern technologies and data analytics. Together
with Siili, we’ll be over 300 professionals and a true digital services ‘Power House’, which means we
can serve our customers better than ever”, states Tom Jacobsson, CEO, Avaus Consulting.
”The rapidly progressing digitalisation accelerates the demand for innovative digital services.
Through the acquisition of Avaus Consulting’s expertise, we establish ourselves as a leading digital
services design partner and modern system integrator. Avaus Consulting is a natural continuum to
Siili’s strategic acquisitions. From competence point of view, Avaus Consulting is a perfect match,
strengthening Siili’s service design, business-driven solution architectures design and analytics.
Moreover, Avaus’ operations in Poland are a good platform for internationalisation to Central
Europe”, explains Seppo Kuula, CEO, Siili Solutions Plc.
There have been two independent companies operating under the ‘Avaus’ brand: Avaus Consulting
Oy, focusing the design and development of digital services, and Avaus Marketing Innovations Oy,
a business transformation and customer engagement agency with a special focus on marketing
automation. The acquisition does not have an affect on Avaus Marketing Innovations Oy. The
founders of Avaus (Harri Roschier, Tom Nickels, Kim Weckström, JP Virtanen) will continue as
active partners in Avaus Marketing Innovations Oy.
