Valmet

How Valmet unified R&D portfolio management

Driving innovation with transparency and ease of use.

Company

Valmet — a global leader in technologies, automation, and services for the pulp, paper, and energy industries, with over 17,000 professionals worldwide.

Challenge

R&D projects were managed in separate systems across business lines, making it difficult to compare progress, share practices, or maintain consistent reporting. Leaders lacked a single, reliable view of all initiatives.

Solution

In 2020, Valmet implemented Keto Software across all business areas. Keto provided a centralized R&D portfolio, intuitive interfaces for project managers, and custom milestones tailored for system and software development.

“The interface is intuitive and visuals are greatly improved. Updating data is easy, which means the information is always reliable.”
Jukka Ylijoki Vice President, R&D, Valmet Automation
