Press release 14.1.2026, 8:00: North Savo and Pirkanmaa wellbeing services counties acquire Finland’s leading automation solution for archiving Uranus systems – total contract value €2 million
The wellbeing services counties of North Savo and Pirkanmaa have selected an advanced automation solution developed by Digital Workforce and Atostek to archive the retiring Uranus systems into Kela’s Kanta services. The solution is delivered to the wellbeing services counties as a SaaS service provided by Istekki. The combined value of the agreements is 2 M EUR. The same system-independent automation solution for extracting and transferring client and patient data has already been successfully deployed in over half of Finland’s wellbeing services counties.
The wellbeing services counties of North Savo and Pirkanmaa aim to decommission the remaining legacy Uranus systems within 18 months, shortly after the deployment of the new OMNI360 patient information systems. Through the timely decommissioning of legacy systems, the wellbeing services counties will realize significant cost savings, reduce the workload associated with maintaining multiple systems, and improve operational efficiency.
“At Pirkanmaa, the volume of data to be archived is substantial – covering more than three million personal identity codes. Deep partner expertise in the precise definition and management of the project is essential to ensure that the costs and workload associated with data transfer remain highly predictable. The purpose of the service solution we have procured is to ensure excellent control over the data migration project, consistent implementation quality, minimal workload for our own personnel, and the timely decommissioning of the retiring system. The archiving of the legacy system will begin early to avoid the long-term parallel operation of multiple systems. The annual cost of the Uranus system is significant for us, which is why the efficient decommissioning of the legacy system is critical as we transition to the new OMNI system”, says Juha Eerola, PTJ Project Manager at Pirkanmaa wellbeing services county.
“The archiving project for Uranus systems, which is now getting started, is significant in scope. The combined volume of data to be transferred by the wellbeing services counties covers approximately four million personal identity codes. Delivering the SaaS service efficiently requires substantial expertise and experience in both the technical automation solution and the specific requirements of Kanta archiving – capabilities that we can reliably provide through Atostek and Digital Workforce. There is still considerable work ahead across many wellbeing services counties: among Istekki’s customer-owners alone, hundreds of client and patient information systems scheduled for decommissioning remain unarchived” says Ari-Pekka Häyrynen, Business Manager at Istekki.
“Together with Atostek, we have delivered a higher number of automation-based Kanta archiving projects and client and patient data migrations in Finland than any other provider. The results of these projects have been excellent regardless of the systems involved. We consider it essential that the remaining archiving and data transfer projects are carried out cost-effectively, on schedule, and with high quality. Once the burden of maintaining legacy systems is removed, wellbeing services counties can focus on developing their operations and improving productivity, says Juha Nieminen, Head of Healthcare Nordics at Digital Workforce.
“Our Kanta archiving solution is built on Atostek’s ERA platform – the most extensive information system in Finland utilizing Kanta services – combined with Digital Workforce’s robotic process automation (RPA). Data extraction is carried out using RPA, enabling an agile, system-independent implementation. Data conversion and transfer to the Kanta archive are then executed through the ERA platform, which has been specifically developed for social and healthcare information management”, explains Miika Parvio, Business Director of ERA Services at Atostek.
