After the merger of Altia and Arcus, Anora faced challenges with the reconciliation of various P&Ls and reports, slow reporting process, frequent errors in Master Data, and a lengthy process for harmonizing key support systems. These issues caused frustration and hampered productive progress, making it difficult to access key business information.

Anora understood the importance of robust Master Data Management but required expert guidance to streamline data governance processes, ensuring accuracy and reducing inefficiencies that hindered critical business operations.

We worked closely with Anora’s business and IT teams to create a new way of managing core business data. Together, we mapped out current issues, clarified roles and responsibilities, and built a simple governance model that fits their business needs. We also made sure the new approach supported Anora’s SAP S/4HANA transformation, so it would work now and scale in the future.

“Data Design’s expertise was instrumental in transforming how we manage our master data. Their structured approach not only improved data accuracy and governance but also empowered our teams to make more informed, data-driven decisions across the organization.” – Matti Nurmi, CIO of Anora

Anora now has a clear, company-wide model for governing important business data.

Teams understand who owns what, how decisions are made, and how data supports daily work. This has reduced errors, improved collaboration, and created a strong base for future digital projects.
