Solita sees international growth potential in supporting the financial sector companies as they strive to respond to increasing customer demands, cyber threats, and growing regulation. In addition to the IT modernisation needs, players in the financial industry still have significant potential in achieving more business value from their data. Moreover, end customer demands are rising rapidly: financial sector customers now expect more intuitive, seamless, and personalised experiences, the development of which requires long-term investment in continuous user experience enhancement. Increased data security threats also challenge financial institutions.

Juuso Lehto has been appointed to lead the unit.

Before joining Solita, Lehto worked for organisations, including Danske Bank, BearingPoint, and OP Group. Solita currently serves financial industry companies in several European countries. The company will also soon announce a cloud service solution designed for the banking and financial sector.
“In the financial services industry, the competition now revolves around how to more effectively leverage data, artificial intelligence, and cloud-based solutions to improve customer experiences, develop new services, meet regulatory requirements, and ensure security. I’m excited to take on the challenge and to contribute to Solita’s growth in this strategically important sector,” commented Juuso Lehto, head of the Solita Financial competence unit.
“Financial industry players are under increasing pressure for change, and companies are struggling with the same challenges regardless of the country. As a European company with expertise in software development, data, cloud, integration, service development, and consulting all under one roof, we are in an excellent position to offer the expertise the industry needs,” commented Ossi Lindroos, CEO of Solita.
Solita’s clients include organisations such as Savings Bank, PensionDanmark, Skandia, Nykredit, Velliv, and S Group.
