Real estate sector experience and expertise were crucial factors when Hoas sought a partner to carry out a needs assessment for its management's business intelligence system
Hoas rents out, builds and maintains housing in the Helsinki region for students who are studying full time at schools of secondary-level education. Hoas is a non-profit foundation that works in co-operation with the student unions of the University of Helsinki and Aalto University, as well as 10 other university and polytechnic student unions.
Hoas sought a partner to carry out a needs assessment for its management information system/BI system. The project included a needs assessment and documentation for an information system, the assessment and validation of data warehouse solutions and reporting tools, and the preparation of documentation on reporting requirements.
Invenco's (now part of Innofactor) extensive experience in the real estate sector, the in-depth expertise of its consultants, and its references from similar projects won Hoas over, and the project was successfully implemented in the fall of 2021. During the project, key employees from Hoas were interviewed in several workshops, and the required documentation was put together. The project also included an in-depth assessment of Hoas' existing IT environment, with a clear plan for follow-up projects prepared on the basis of that assessment.
"Invenco helped us establish a good understanding of our current situation, which puts us in a good position to move forward," says Eero Kankala, ICT Manager at Hoas.
"This is a fascinating project in which we used interviews to understand Hoas' business from different perspectives," says Mikko Kutvonen from Invenco.
