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.”
Jukka Ylijoki Vice President, R&D, Valmet Automation
