Reliable and up-to-date information

Edita Publishing is a diverse content company. The company focuses on expert content, legal and other information services, learning, and digital solutions that support learning.

In addition to our publishing-related product portfolio, our customer-specific services include various curated content, information and learning services.

Our vision is to be the most innovative facilitator of development.

Our customers are public and private organizations that need meaningful, reliable and up-to-date information or knowledge. There is a wealth of information available, but filtering down to meaningful information is challenging. Edita Publishing creates solutions to meet this need.

Our productized offering includes legal and professional information publications, training products and online services.

Our information services support various professional groups in their work, such as lawyers, tax advisors, managers, experts and consultants.

Our legal information service Edilex is the market leader in its field. Credita provides structured information on public procurement. Our customer-specific content services produce more in-depth solutions than normal websites, based on services such as digital archives. The most significant of our services from the perspective of the Finnish public is the open legal information service Finlex.

Edita Publishing is a major publisher of learning materials and a development partner for the education sector. Educode training services help teachers in areas such as the application of new pedagogic approaches and information technology. Our high-quality learning materials are well-known in basic education, high schools and vocational institutes.

In line with its strategy, Edita Publishing is transforming from a diverse publishing company into a diverse content company. We have focused on areas such as digitalization, solution sales and partnerships.

We have supported the engagement and development of our staff through training, an innovation team, a social media group, personnel information events, theme mornings and an occupational well-being day.

2015

The year 2015 was very eventful for Edita Publishing. We integrated the primary production of collections of statutes into our operations. We linked digital communication channels to our training services. Our training services in the area of law are now also available as webinars. We expanded our video production operations and implemented customer projects related to digital learning solutions.

We revised and digitized a large quantity of learning materials and their production methods in response to the Finnish curriculum reform of 2015-2016. We acquired the National Centre for Professional Development in Education, Educode, which became our training and education brand.

We support the transformation of the education sector arising from digitalization and new approaches in pedagogy. Our activities involving teachers included organizing the Treduka event in cooperation with our partners for more than 2,500 education professionals.

We also engaged in partnership-based cooperation with the technology sector, including Microsoft.

The most significant challenges of the year were related to our publishing business, in which we implemented restructuring measures. Otherwise our net revenue increased slightly from the previous year in almost every other area.

2016

We will continue with the strategic renewal of Edita Publishing in 2016. We will focus particularly on product and service development as well as cooperation with our sister companies and partners.

Digitality is a significant element in developing our offering as well as our internal operations. The focus areas of our industry in 2016 will include the distribution of electronic learning materials. We will work with our partners and sister companies to provide our customers with innovative high-quality services that help them develop and achieve success.
