The challenge: immediately global

HMD Global was established in late 2016 as the new home for Nokia mobile phones. The company’s operations, organization, and business network had to be global from the beginning. HMD Global needed a company-customized infrastructure and tools to support its global business and an extensive induction program for hundreds of new employees.

Goal: smoother work

To support its fast-growing organization, HMD Global needed a scalable and secure cloud solution that would improve the daily work of every employee. Effective collaborative tools, clear data processing processes, and information sharing across the organization are especially important in onboarding new employees and communicating HMD Global’s work culture.

Solution: flexible services and cost efficiency

HiQ provided HMD Global with an Office 365 environment and user management based on Azure AD, as well as an e-mail migration from the old system. HiQ's flexible services met the needs of HMD Global, and a professional project team helped the organization in the early stages of operations. HiQ replaced old solutions with modern, cost-effective and easy-to-use Office 365 solution package and streamlined processes. HiQ delivered the collaboration services of the Elevate Intranet and Office 365 to HMD Global on a very tight schedule.
