Jani Iivari Returns to Siili Solutions to Lead Data Platforms

Jani Iivari Boosts Siili Solutions' Data Expertise

Siili Solutions Plc has rehired experienced data architect Jani Iivari as a Principal Consultant for Data Platforms. Iivari began his role in early 2025, returning to the company with deepened expertise in building data platforms and driving industry transformations.

Prior to rejoining Siili, Iivari held leadership positions at Paulig Group and KONE, where he was responsible for developing enterprise data initiatives and analytics. He stated that his motivation for returning to Siili was the opportunity to make an impact on client businesses. He noted that "the essence of Siili seems to be intact," and that people still enjoy working at the company.

Siili Solutions has recently strategically focused on data and AI as core pillars of its business. The company offers clients comprehensive support, from identifying AI opportunities to strategic planning and technical implementation through its Siili Advisory service. According to Iivari, Siili's strength lies in its ability to seamlessly combine business advisory, design expertise, and technical execution.

Iivari highlights that the importance of data now extends beyond traditional technology firms. While banks and tech companies are traditional data users, manufacturing, food, and logistics industries increasingly need to leverage data to solve complex business challenges. He himself built a next-generation data platform at Paulig, demonstrating data's central role even in traditional organizations for functions like sales forecasting and operational decisions. The role of data utilization is critical across all sectors for improving business efficiency and decision-making.
