Ixonos will design and implement the architecture model for the e-government services of the model cities that will be founded in China as part of the DigiEcoCity project.

DigiEcoCity Ltd, a Finnish company, has chosen Ixonos to establish uniform design principles for an ecosystem of digital solutions. At the initial stage of the collaboration, Ixonos will define an enterprise architecture description and catalyse design and implementation work. Having a defined architecture model for e-government services will facilitate the construction of cities that conform to unified ecological and digital principles. The architecture model for e-government services will enable efficient and reliable service development in a multi-vendor environment.

China is going through intense urbanisation and wants to model it on Nordic top knowledge in urban planning. DigiEcoCity Ltd will plan, following the open source principle, two Chinese model cities that will combine ecological principles with technological innovations. In addition to Ixonos, e.g. Nokia Siemens Networks also participates in the design of the project’s digital communications.

For a long time already, Ixonos has emphasised active transparency, believing that the latter significantly promotes the development of e-government service quality and thereby benefits all involved. Teppo Kuisma, head of the Ixonos Business Solutions unit, says, “We have positive experiences of providing pre-modelled e-business and, particularly, e-government solutions based on open source code and on an open approach.”

Ixonos has provided consulting services for the structural change in Sitra’s municipal ICT services and has also been involved in the municipalities’ and Ministry of Finance’s joint development of an example architecture for an e-government solution as described in the KuntaIT’s function. The architecture model as well as the source code of the solution’s main components was published for open use. This has allowed municipalities, other public administration entities and their partners to take advantage of a defined and tested e-service model. “These solutions, which are based on open source code and an open architecture, are easy to put to use outside Finland as well”, Mr Kuisma notes.

“The fact that the solutions are provided as private cloud services also has considerable benefits for the service operations of Chinese cities. Ixonos can deliver a completely reliable, scalable service platform which is automated according to the customer’s needs and provided as a cost-efficient suite of services”, Mr Kuisma explains.

Antti Korhonen, Vice President of DigiEcoCity, says: “We chose Ixonos as our partner because they have proved their top-ranking expertise in architecture design for e-government services and because their activities as open source messengers show that both companies adhere to the same operating principles. Our collaboration with Ixonos is also a good example of DigiEcoCity serving as a reference for Finnish know-how and as an export platform to China.”

Ixonos and DigiEcoCity will sign their co-operation agreement on 14 October 2010, in connection with the Cleantech Finland Smart Days seminar at Expo 2010 in Shanghai. Kari Happonen, President and CEO of Ixonos, and Mauri Tommila, CEO of DigiEcoCity, will attend the seminar.

Ixonos and Nemko have agreed on a co-operation model that offers manufacturers of wireless devices R&D support and global market access as a convenient, one-stop service.

The collaboration provides customers with a novel service package combining, on the one hand, the deep technological competence and extensive testing capabilities Ixonos holds regarding wireless devices and, on the other hand, Nemko’s global testing and certification services. This enables substantial savings and significant reductions in time to market for new device R&D.

Ixonos’ next-generation smartphone design unit, Device Creation Centre, provides international device manufacturers and telecom operators with comprehensive R&D services for mobile devices. These services cover mechanical engineering, electronics design and software development. A state-of-the-art testing laboratory operating in Jyväskylä, Finland, in connection with the Device Creation Centre, offers a complete range of services in RF testing, electronics testing, reliability testing, mechanical testing and protocol testing.

Kari Liuska, Senior Vice President and Director, Business Regions at Ixonos says, “Through this co-operation, we complement each other’s service offering. We can assure the quality of our customer’s product, as well as refer the final approvals of our device development projects to Nemko seamlessly, without the customer incurring any additional effort or cost. In turn, as well as using their own laboratories Nemko can use our laboratories for R&D stage testing when that is the most efficient alternative for the customer.”

“The synergies created by this collaboration enable international projects to be managed even more flexibly, as both companies operate in Europe, Asia and North America. Both also have a global co-operation network at their disposal. This ensures that customers have smooth access to all the major markets”, comments Tomi Nyberg Business Development Director of Nemko.
