Key change forces in pulp and paper Industry • Consolidation. • Client companies continue to consolidate. The consulting and engineering business is also being consolidated. • Networking. • Networking will promote co-operation via partnership agreements and alliances. It will create new business opportunities and expand the service mix. • Digital revolution. • The digital revolution makes information management and utilization increasingly important. Information is no longer seen as a production input dependent on time and place. timo.syrjanen@poyry.com
Key change forces in pulp and paper Industry • Speed of change and volatility. • The business environment is changing faster and becoming more volatile. • Scarcity of resources. • Shortages of natural resources, such as fibre, energy and water, increasingly guide investment decisions in several market areas. • Competition for talent. • Talent is an important competitive advantage. • Cost-effectiveness. • Success in international competition requires continual improvement of operations and competitiveness. timo.syrjanen@poyry.com

Research project 2002-2004: PaperIXI How to solve product data interoperability problems in the paper cluster equipment supply network. • PaperIX defines: • product data exchange format • how product data is delivered • how product data is positioned to product data applications • PaperIX technology: • format language: XML • delivery: WWW • positioning: product and mill structures timo.syrjanen@poyry.com

PaperIXI: Conclusions • Companies should keep constant watch on the standardization efforts. Standards develop slowly but it is wise to know what is to be expected • Companies should try to choose and extend existing standards instead of creating own standards. • XML will be ASCII of structured information exchange. Companies should make sure that the product information systems are able to import/export XML • Since universal PDE standard is not expected in the near future, companies should make sure that transformation engines are part of the import/export interfaces timo.syrjanen@poyry.com
PaperIXI: Conclusions • Companies should continue co-operation and transform PaperIXI project into continuous process • Companies should select common data format for exchanging mill hierarchies and technical data (PaperIXI mill model schema) • select product coding and classification systems (E.g. Forest Industry Standard Grouping for Materials and Services) • consider to use common mill model server for distributing data timo.syrjanen@poyry.com

Joining forces in data integration • There has been plans in Finland to join forces with process industry cluster, research institutes, universities and Tekes to promote data integration • Major companies in this are interested in this matter • Process industry cluster will establish an interest group to coordinate development work and to promote related standardization => THTH –association (industry’s decentralized data management – association) • Establish Enterprise group project PRINDEX to speed up starting phase • Enterprise group project application managed by one participant timo.syrjanen@poyry.com
Group vision • Business vision: • Transparent data exchange interface facilitates easy application integration for engineering, maintenance and process automation systems • between different business parties with guaranteed interoperability • causing remarkable cost reductions in workload and • opening new business opportunities and earning logic. • Technical vision: • Ensure interoperability between different applications over the business network (standard interface, message structure and naming conventions based on standard plant model). • The commonly agreed business rules will be implemented on the data exchange interface. timo.syrjanen@poyry.com
PRINDEX - project • Project target is to specify common interface for different participants working in process industry • All major pulp and paper cluster companies from Finland are participating the project • First phase concentrates piloting multilateral data exchange (2006) • reference implementation for selected use cases • Next phases are planned based on result of phase I. timo.syrjanen@poyry.com

Data integration is not only technology • There are many existing standards • Not only one standard will dominate • Integration between standards • How to make sure that organization are flexible to work in different contexts • Learning of new processes, methods and standards is important in all levels • It will take time and patience timo.syrjanen@poyry.com
Conclusion Foreign forest cluster Finnish forest cluster Development co-operation Standardization Improvement of industry operations International co-existence Development co-operation National standardization Competition Project co-operation managed by owner timo.syrjanen@poyry.com
Conclusion • Globalization is important • Pulp and paper industry must follow and study what other industry sectors are doing • ADI, IFC, etc. • Data integration is not only technology • Remember human aspects • Leaning, studying, testing • New work processes and methods • Small steps with clear vision where we are going timo.syrjanen@poyry.com
