What Futurice does

Futurice is a privately held digital transformation consultancy founded in 2000 and headquartered in Helsinki, Finland. It delivers strategy, design, software engineering, data and AI, cloud, and managed services to enterprise and mid-market clients through multidisciplinary teams, with offices in Finland, Germany, Sweden, the UK, the USA, Poland, and Portugal and an ecosystem of six wholly-owned subsidiaries (Columbia Road, Fram Partners, Meltlake, Qlarify, Recordly, Thriv) that extend capabilities into digital commerce, analytics, and Microsoft Dynamics delivery.

The company monetizes professional services through custom, project-based engagements and multi-year partnerships (e.g., the 2026 PAM member-services renewal), selling directly to large enterprise and public-sector buyers via field sales and client leads, supported by content marketing, whitepapers, events, and active social channels. Its technology stack is tech-agnostic across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud (with 140+, 130+, and 10+ certifications respectively), and includes proprietary AI assets co-developed with clients such as KONE's TenderLens, Kesko's K-Hyvinvointi, Viestimedia's Renki, and Sanoma's Hennibot, which embed LLMs, OCR, NLP, computer vision, speech recognition, and predictive analytics into production workflows. Strategic alliances with AWS, Microsoft, Google, and Salesforce underpin its delivery, and it reports 3,000+ cross-industrial projects completed since inception.
