21 September 2020

TietoEVRY has entered into an agreement with IoT services company Haltian for the sale of its Empathic Building business, which focuses on smart office solutions. The companies have collaborated closely in the area of smart offices also in the past.

”This is a natural step for Empathic Building after the internal startup phase. Through this transaction Empathic Building becomes a part of Haltian’s core IoT business,” says Ari Järvelä, Head of Operations, TietoEVRY.

“Haltian's IoT and data collection solutions will bring new unmatched opportunities for the further enrichment of Empathic Building's offering and its international growth. We will continue to accelerate office digitalization of Empathic Building customers, including now also TietoEVRY,” says Tomi Teikko, who will continue to be responsible for the Empathic Building business after it transfers to Haltian.

“The acquisition of the Empathic Building business is a natural move in our close collaboration as the business excellently complements our IoT services business. We are excited to jointly create new innovations to improve the user experience of work environments. Next, we will focus on ensuring a smooth transition for both employees and Empathic Building customers,” says Pasi Leipälä, President and CEO of Haltian.

Empathic Building is an intelligent building solution gathering data from the property, originally developed by TietoEVRY as an internal startup.
