Core offering

Ylivieskan kaupunki is a Finnish municipality that delivers statutory public services to its residents and businesses, including early childhood and basic education, upper secondary education with 14 themed academies, public employment services through the YKN Employment Area covering six municipalities, housing and construction permitting, environmental and waste management, cultural and recreational services, and youth services. Operations are funded primarily through municipal taxation with supplementary service fees, and the city coordinates with national platforms (Suomi.fi, OmaPohde, Työmarkkinatori, Koski, Varda) for digital service delivery.

Product overview

Ylivieskan kaupunki is a Finnish municipality offering a comprehensive portfolio of public services organized as discrete functional areas rather than a unified product platform. The core service portfolio spans employment services (delivered through the YKN Employment Area covering 6 municipalities), education services (early childhood education via eDaisy/DaisyFamily platforms, 14 upper secondary school academies, community college, music school), housing and construction services (building permits via Lupapiste, zoning, property services), environmental services (waste management through Jokilaaksojen jätelautakunta and Vestia Oy, climate action), leisure services (Community Center Akustiikka, sports facilities, library with Kalevala collection), youth services, and health services (via Pohde wellbeing area). Digital integration is achieved through multiple platforms including Suomi.fi for identity, OmaPohde for social/health services, Työmarkkinatori for employment, Koski and Varda for educational registries, and ReadSpeaker for accessibility. The municipality's service architecture operates as a distributed hub model, where the city coordinates regional services while integrating with national digital infrastructure.
