CEO’s comment
Comment regarding the interim report by Kimmo Alkio, President and CEO:
"We are pleased with the performance improvement of our IT services business throughout 2014. Our quality and efficiency measures progressed well during the year and supported the improvement in underlying margins, which was also visible in our fourth-quarter performance.
During 2014, our IT services business grew by nearly 3% in local currencies while order intake growth was 5% and further accelerated in the fourth quarter. Underlying profitability of IT services continued to improve despite increased investments in new services. Simultaneously, our Product Development Services underwent significant changes due to external market conditions. I’m also pleased with the progress of our start-up operations – they drive innovation with our customers and provide highly agile ways of working. These serve as good role models to reinvent the culture within Tieto.
The global IT services market continues to change at a fast pace, driven primarily by our customers’ digitalization agenda. This rapid pace of change provides ample new business opportunities, while requiring us to continuously renew our own operations. The actions that we announced in early January 2015 regarding our service portfolio and competence renewal are proactive measures to take Tieto into a market leading position. It has been exciting to shift our attention towards new services and growth acceleration, as visible in increased investments towards the year end. The next stage of our strategy combines efficiency, innovation and growth, which I expect to be highly beneficial and inspiring to our customers and employees."
