Year 2007

The year 2007 saw major changes initiated at Vaisala. The company's Management Group was reinforced through several new appointments, and the corporate strategy was revised in response to the signals received from customers. In line with its new growth strategy, Vaisala is expanding its business scope from measurement devices and systems to also cover services and solutions. In particular, the company will focus on developing its sales activities, increasing its market coverage and creating new products for the service and solution business. For the most part, the organizational adjustments prompted by the strategy revision took effect at the beginning of 2008.

Construction of a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system for the entire organization commenced at the beginning of 2007. Once completed, the ERP system will replace a number of existing systems and will support Vaisala's business processes. The new system will be introduced during the first half of 2009.

Vaisala continued active research and development. Among the more recent results is the weather radar that was launched last fall and has been very well-received by customers.

Vaisala has been able to maintain its strong market position in an increasingly tough competitive environment. Vaisala's goal is to maintain its global market leadership in its selected business areas.
