BackElisa involved in the implementation of the IFK Taskupeto mobile service
Press release, 16 January 2009
Elisa has been involved in the implementation of the progressive and easy-to-use IFK Taskupeto mobile service for the Helsingin IFK ice hockey club. The service, tailored to IFK supporters, introduces a new dimension for following IFK news and matches. Users of the Taskupeto service can, for example, view IFK games live with a smart phone, check the latest news and statistics, and view the club's video content. You can conveniently subscribe to the service by text message.
- The Taskupeto service has been very well received; ease of use and reliable operation are an essential part of it. In the future, we will introduce new features to the service, as we want to be pioneers in this field too. I am very satisfied with the intensity and speed with which Elisa and Nokia Siemens Networks built this demanding service package for our supporters. The outcome is really good, says Jukka Valtanen, CEO of Oy HIFK Hockey Ab.
The Taskupeto service was implemented by Nokia Siemens Networks in cooperation with Elisa and IFK.
- In the Taskupeto service, we successfully carry out the solution-sales-based strategy of our company. The cooperation with the ICT expert Elisa and the professional club IFK was excellent, says Oscar Salonaho, Nokia Siemens Networks.
Before the season launch, Elisa implemented the giga-class Areenaverkko for SM-liiga Oy, enabling a cost-effective utilisation of moving image recorded at the ice hockey league games.
- Mobile-technology services are built at a rapid pace in the ice hockey sector. Helsingin IFK is spearheading this progress. IFK Taskupeto is a prime example of a well-functioning service for club supporters. Ice hockey becomes an even better experience as game events can be conveniently and inexpensively ordered to your pocket, says Pasi Mäenpää, Executive Vice President at Elisa.
