COR Group is a Finnish family of companies dedicated to fostering sustainable growth in the health and wellness sectors. The group includes several renowned organisations, such as Silmäasema, Coronaria, Kuntokeskus Liikku, and Professio Group. Altogether, COR Group employs approximately 4500 people.
A couple of years ago, the group embarked on an IT transformation journey to enhance organisational agility and build the capability better to address a dynamic business environment and increasing demands. This strategic transformation required expertise in areas such as technical infrastructure, process development, project management, and stakeholder collaboration. Recognising the need for a partner with technical know-how and experience in application development transformations, turned to Codemate for support.
Expert support for a transformational journey
Codemate has played a vital role in supporting COR Group’s development initiatives by providing technical and process expertise. This collaboration has enabled a systematic and flexible approach to advancing IT application development operations.
“We needed a partner who could bring strong expertise in application development and the management of transformation projects, combined with calm and experienced project leadership.”
Satu Palviainen, CIO, COR Group
Together with Codemate, the foundation has been laid for flexible and long-term development work that aligns with the current and future needs of the business.
Continuous development fuelling growth
The transformation journey has already led to significant improvements in application development. While the path is long and the work ongoing, the results achieved so far have strengthened the organisation’s ability to tackle future challenges:
- Operational systems and IT capabilities have been enhanced, enabling the team to focus more on planning and developing for the future.
- Streamlined processes have simplified workflows, provided more opportunities for team learning, and improved collaboration with stakeholders.
- The IT team is now better equipped to support business growth and meet evolving demands.
Codemate’s long-standing expert, Jukka Toivonen, has been instrumental in this transformation, acting as an external specialist. Thanks to Jukka’s experience and guidance, the development work has been put on solid ground, with a clearer direction for the future. He has also laid the foundation for the team’s long-term success, ensuring a seamless transition for new leaders taking over the reins.
“Collaboration with COR Group’s IT department and various business teams has been close and seamless – together, we have advanced development purposefully and laid a strong foundation for the future.”
