(continues..)

* Smaller universities are been merged, because of "quality and competitiveness". "Small universities are just not powerful enough", it has been said.

* Finland tends to like to streamline usage of multiple information systems by either making them more interoperable or by designing a new national enterprise architecture afresh. For example, we (almost) have this "The National Archive of Health Information (KanTa)", which "is the name of the national data system services for healthcare services, pharmacies and citizens. The services include the electronic prescription, Pharmaceutical Database, My Health Information, and Patient Records Archive." It will replace the need for separate, smaller information systems, to be able to communicate with each other as all the data in different systems can be seen (by permission) through this central system. Same will later apply to museum and library -related data (applies to other countries too as they are dropping the usage of older national standards and are moving to use international standards).

Now.. I'd like to peak to the future just to see, what happens after it, when all the big reorganizings have been done. And no, I don't belong to any political party or support "officially" any of them. I'm just a person, who tend to design and implement (smallish) ICT-based solutions of his own.
