    AI-powered transformation with Microsoft solutions

    AI transformation is here, moving fast, and reshaping how organizations operate. Yet for many leaders, handling multiple platforms, technologies, and security requirements feels overwhelming.

    That is exactly why we built the Reaktor Ecosystem Microsoft Cluster: five founder-led specialist companies — AI Think, Goodin, Locoda, Mallow, and Premium Security — working as one to help you make your AI-powered transformation happen.

    At Nordic Business Forum 2025, we gathered this team on stage to share what truly makes AI adoption usable, and valuable across organizations. Our discussion highlighted four key pillars that organizations need to get right to turn AI ambition into real impact.

    1. Build a future-proof foundation

    From modern identity management to scalable Azure environments, getting the foundation right is the fastest way to move confidently.

     

    “Implementing AI is an eye-opener for your whole IT: it touches software development, infrastructure, security, and data. You need to build core capabilities, starting with infrastructure.”
    — Jaakko Karhumaa, Mallow, NBF 2025

     

    Organizations need to build systems that can handle data at scale, speed, and with security.

    1. Build a future-proof foundation

    2. Data: use it to improve it

    Forget waiting for perfect data, it doesn’t exist. What matters is using what you have.

     

    “Your data ‘gets ready’ by being used. Build solutions for end users, and the quality follows.”
    — Jaakko Karhumaa, Mallow, NBF 2025

     

    “You don’t need perfect data to drive. In a snowstorm, it’s enough to see where the road is going.”
    — Jarmo Rajala, Goodin, NBF 2025

     

    AI can supercharge decision-making if the data foundations and ownership are clear.

    2. Data: use it to improve it

    3. Secure first, then accelerate

    The same AI tools that uncover insights can expose secrets if you’re not careful.

     

    “Security is the foundation. If you don’t secure your data, you can’t use it.”
    — Massimo Wihuri, Premium Security, NBF 2025

     

    Protect your data, tools, and tech foundation first, then build on it.

     

    3. Secure first, then accelerate

    4. Culture is the real multiplier

    Tools don’t transform organizations, people do.

     

    “Enable experimentation. Bring data to employees in a secure way and let them build their own agents and automations.”
    — Terho Antila, Locoda, NBF 2025

     

    “The best transformations are led by enthusiastic CEOs who use AI themselves and guide the organization to follow.”
    — Jarmo Rajala, Goodin, NBF 2025

     

    Successful companies pair clear leadership with hands-on enablement. When experimentation is encouraged, the best ideas surface from inside the organization.

    4. Culture is the real multiplier

    Let’s make it happen

    AI transformation doesn’t need to be chaotic. With the right foundation, data, security, and culture, it is possible to turn into success.

     

    “Choice of platform is usually made; what varies is the stack for each problem. That’s why we co-build: low-code where it fits, pro-code where it doesn’t, BI for insight, and security end-to-end.”
    — Terho Antila, Locoda, NBF 2025

     

    That’s where the Microsoft Cluster comes in: the right expertise, at the right time, in the right combination.
