How Assemblin Caverion Group runs IT across 9 countries

Advania

Written by Advania

Assemblin Caverion Group is one of northern Europe’s leading providers of technical installations and services. With around 20,000 employees across nine countries, the group delivers critical infrastructure and sustainable solutions for property owners, developers, industry, healthcare, energy and society at large.

Assemblin Caverion Group operates in a dynamic environment where projects differ widely in size, scope and requirements. At the same time, expectations from employees and customers continue to rise.

Group IT is a shared service function that needs to:

  • Deliver consistent services to about 20,000 employees.
  • Balance cost efficiency with high quality and strong security.
  • Adapt quickly to growth and organisational change.
  • Support the business without adding unnecessary complexity.

For the IT leadership team, the ambition was clear: make IT easy for the business while maintaining control, governance and long-term direction in a decentralised context.

“Our biggest challenge is to make IT easy for the business.”

Sophie Ahlquist, IT and Business Development Manager, Division Sweden Assemblin Ventilation

A partnership built on trust and cultural fit

To meet these demands, Assemblin Caverion Group chose Advania as its strategic partner. The decision was not only about technical expertise, but about finding a partner with the right cultural fit, local presence and mindset. A partner able to combine operational stability with strategic guidance.

Advania works closely with the Group IT organisation and local divisions, acting as an extension of the internal IT team rather than a traditional outsourcing provider. The collaboration spans strategic, tactical and operational levels, with continuous dialogue and a shared accountability for results.

“With Advania, we move beyond the traditional supplier model and gain IT delivery that is closely aligned with our actual business needs.”

Emil Larsson, Head of Common IT Services, Assemblin Caverion Group

Creating flexibility at scale

Together, Assemblin Caverion Group and Advania focus on measurable outcomes.

The partnership enables the group to:

  • Scale capacity and expertise up or down as project intensity changes.

  • Deliver stable, secure and compliant IT services across countries and divisions.

  • Align IT initiatives with real business priorities rather than predefined service catalogues.

  • Simplify everyday work through efficient service desk and workplace services.

  • Explore new technologies, including artificial intelligence, where they create real business value.

Stable IT that frees time for strategic priorities

After more than five years of collaboration, IT has become a stronger enabler of the group’s strategy. The organisation benefits from smoother operations, fewer escalations and more proactive planning and dialogue.

IT leadership can concentrate on strategic initiatives, while the business experiences IT as accessible, reliable and relevant.

“Advania feels like part of my own organisation. They understand our business and they are always willing to go the extra mile when it matters.”

Peter Weberberger, Chief Information Officer, Assemblin Caverion Group

More than outsourcing: a shared roadmap for digital resilience

For Assemblin Caverion Group, the partnership with Advania is not a static setup, but an ongoing journey. As the business evolves, so does the collaboration. Together, the focus is on strengthening digital resilience, supporting growth and ensuring that technology works for the people who rely on it every day.
