AI-assisted delivery model to support continuous development of Studyinfo, the agency's largest digital service entity by user volume
The Studyinfo service ecosystem consists of several services, information systems, and applications provided by the Finnish National Agency for Education. It offers citizens, education providers, authorities, and other stakeholders up-to-date information on education as well as national services for competence development and verification. It is the Finnish National Agency for Education's largest service ecosystem by number of users: in 2025, Studyinfo.fi (Opintopolku.fi) had approximately 14 million visitors.
The procurement of the Studyinfo service ecosystem is the largest in the history of the Finnish National Agency for Education. As a result, procurements that were previously implemented separately have been consolidated into a single agreement covering the maintenance and further development of services as one entity.
"Our goal was to simplify contract management, reduce costs and increase the flexibility of agreements. The new operating model better supports the continuous development of services and the growing number of users," said Paula Merikko, Director at the Finnish National Agency for Education.
CGI will be responsible for the development and maintenance of the expanding Studyinfo service ecosystem. The development work will utilize CGI's AI-enabled Application Factory delivery model, which accelerates application development, improves quality and reduces development costs. In addition, particular attention will be paid to responsible development by applying green coding principles.
