ArkiDigi-Oulu

ArkiDigi is a low‑threshold, web‑based tool that helps companies in North Ostrobothnia identify everyday challenges in their work that could be addressed using ICT technologies. 

​

Through ArkiDigi, companies describe what slows down their daily work or which opportunities are not currently being fully utilised. 

The tool then suggests small, clearly scoped development projects tailored to these challenges, which skilled ICT students from the University of Oulu can carry out. 

​

The projects are delivered in a cost‑effective, fast, and flexible way, while respecting the company’s existing ways of working.
