Social Business experts join Tieto

As a Future Office Evangelist Oscar Berg will be responsible for the business and offering development in Sweden and will be the local spokes person for the offering. Henrik Gustafsson will be acting as a strategic advisor and support Tieto's Swedish and international clients in defining and implementing Enterprise 2.0 solutions.

“We are very excited that we were able to win Oscar and Henrik for our fast growing Tieto Future Office® business in Sweden. Their extensive experience will compliment Tieto's competence in the field for information and knowledge worker productivity in one of our most important markets as well as internationally,” says Philipp Rosenthal, International Solution Area Director.

Tieto Future Office® is Tieto's solution for the digital workplace and resonating on the trend of the consumerization of business IT. Inspired by social and commercial media Tieto Future Office® supports large and medium sized companies in their efforts to improve efficiency in day to day business operations, increase effectiveness by activating and matching existing expertise and experience to current business challenges, connect experts and skills beyond functional and geographical borders and create an attractive workplace for existing and future talent.

Henrik Gustafsson, who previously worked for Acando, believes that the introduction of new information technology is what drives the improvements of information work and value creation in enterprises. New technologies such as social software, mobile applications and cloud computing will change how, where and with whom we create value.

“We are right now in the middle of a fundamental change of information work that organizations need to understand and act upon, such as empowering knowledge workers with new tools and practices that make them more efficient, productive and innovative,” Henrik Gustafsson says.

Oscar Berg, also from Acando, is internationally recognized as a thought leader within Enterprise Collaboration and Enterprise 2.0. He chose Tieto because the Tieto Future Office concept aligns perfectly with the work he has been doing during the last few years and fulfils his vision of the future of work.

“Tieto itself is running one of the most comprehensive digital workplaces in Europe setting a clear benchmark for the future of information and knowledge work,” Oscar Berg says.
