| Oracle | Legacy | Oracle NetSuite ERP | ERP Financial | ERP Financial Management | Attido | 2020 | 2020 |
In 2020, Fortum implemented Oracle NetSuite ERP to establish a lighter, cloud native financial layer as part of a Two Tier ERP strategy. The deployment targeted non core subsidiaries, start-ups, and country level project and consulting businesses, positioning Oracle NetSuite ERP within the ERP Financial category to centralize financial management and reporting for units where adapting the corporate system was impractical.
Oracle NetSuite ERP was configured for core financial modules including general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, consolidation capable reporting, and localization features to address local taxation and statutory reporting requirements. The cloud native SaaS architecture supported automatic updates and rapid provisioning, enabling faster implementations and the ability to disengage an entity from the system with minimal friction when necessary.
Architecturally, Fortum positioned Oracle NetSuite ERP to operate alongside the corporate Oracle E Business Suite in a two tier architecture, with NetSuite serving geographically or operationally distinct units while corporate E Business Suite remained for capital intensive core operations. The implementation emphasized unified financial reporting and process control across these units, balancing centralized oversight with the lightweight flexibility required by fast paced start-ups and remote country operations.
Attido acted as the system integrator and advisor, recommending Oracle NetSuite ERP based on Fortum’s need for flexibility and organizing reference meetings with other large NetSuite users. The rollout established a unified operating model and governance for subsidiary financial processes, leveraging NetSuite’s cloud native update model and independent analyst support to meet Fortum’s global, fast paced portfolio needs.

| Benify | Legacy | Benify Benefits | Benefits Administration | HCM | n/a | 2016 | 2016 |
In 2016, Fortum implemented Benify Benefits. The deployment uses Benify Benefits as a Benefits Administration platform embedded on Fortum's corporate website, supporting an employee population of about 5,000 in Finland. The implementation emphasizes benefits enrollment, employee self-service, and centralized benefits configuration, aligning with conventional Benefits Administration workflows. Benify Benefits is used to present entitlements, communications, and enrollment windows to employees through a web-based portal.
Operational ownership is held by HR and total rewards functions, which use the administrative interfaces in Benify Benefits to configure plans, manage eligibility, and operate enrollment campaigns. The solution is provisioned via Fortum's public website to provide direct employee access and a unified web portal experience, with governance centered on HR-led workflow management and ongoing plan maintenance.

| ABB Enterprise Software Group | Legacy | ABB Ability Energy and Asset Manager | Asset Performance Management | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2018 | 2019 |
In 2018 Fortum engaged ABB Enterprise Software Group to deploy ABB Ability Energy and Asset Manager for Energy Portfolio Management across its district heating and combined-heat-and-power operations in Finland. The engagement targeted Fortum's generation asset base and energy operations, and ABB communications confirm module-specific use of ABB Ability Energy and Asset Manager for this Energy Portfolio Management initiative.
The implementation configured ABB Ability Energy and Asset Manager to provide centralized asset monitoring, energy portfolio visibility, and operational dashboards for generation and heat production assets. Configuration emphasized remote asset monitoring and energy performance visibility, aligning with common Energy Portfolio Management capabilities such as portfolio-level operational visibility, asset condition monitoring, and energy efficiency monitoring.
Operational coverage focused on district heating networks and combined-heat-and-power plants within Finland, embedding the ABB Ability Energy and Asset Manager into Fortum's energy operations and asset monitoring workflows. The deployment supported business functions in generation operations and energy management, enabling continuous visibility of asset status and energy flows across the covered sites.
Governance and rollout centered on embedding the ABB Ability Energy and Asset Manager into operational procedures for monitoring and performance assessment, with ABB communications noting the solution was used to improve energy efficiency and remote asset monitoring across Fortum's generation assets. ABB Ability Energy and Asset Manager is described as the core application for Fortum's Energy Portfolio Management and operational monitoring activities.
