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
Valmet’s R&D efforts were spread across several business lines, each using its own system to manage projects. That made comparison difficult, inconsistent reporting common, and left leaders without a full, reliable view of all initiatives.
Solution
In 2020, Valmet adopted Keto Software’s platform across all business areas. The solution created a centralised R&D portfolio environment, introduced intuitive interfaces for project managers, and built custom milestones tailored for software and systems development.
Impact
- Reliable, real-time data for leadership to drive decisions
- ROI and payback period assessments in one place
- Consistent reporting methods across business lines
- Stronger confidence in decisions
“The interface is intuitive, and visuals have greatly improved. Updating data is easy, which means the information is always reliable.”
What do you get on day one

Timeline
Implementation began in 2020 and has since scaled throughout Valmet’s organisation.
