More about SCA IT operations

SCA IT belongs to the strategic development group staff. We are organized in five departments:

  • IT Security leads and drives the strategic IT/OT security work within SCA. The department identifies overall risks and manages them according to priority.
  • IT Service Management is responsible for IT's internal processes, working methods and associated support tools such as Jira, Confluence, Solution Manager and CloudALM.
  • IT Enterprise Applications is responsible for providing solutions and expertise so that SCA's business processes can be realized in an optimal way.

This means continuous improvement of existing solutions, development assignments and projects. Right now, we are working intensively on introducing a new SAP S/4HANA system and SCA common working methods. Our role in that project is to ensure quality, approve and own the new IT solutions.

How we are organized

The department has two groupings: Solutions Management designs and manages solutions for business systems together with our operations, while Technology Management is responsible for development and technical components.

  • IT Applications develops and manages specific solutions for the business areas Wood, Forest, Renewable Energy and Purchasing & Logistics. IT Applications is also responsible for SCA's common solutions for, for example, internal and external communication, health and safety and digital workplace. An area that we are developing further is around digitization platforms that should be able to enable new innovative solutions.
  • IT Infrastructure with its three teams Architecture, Project Office and Service and Delivery develops, manages and operates SCA IT's technical platforms. We work with technologies within Cisco such as DNA Center, SD-WAN, ISE, Nexus and Wireless but also Checkpoint FW as well as within Microsoft such as Azure, System Center, SQL, ADFS e.g. but also Citrix and VMWare as some examples. We work actively with LCM (Life Cycle Management) within IT Infrastructure.

Competent colleagues constantly developing me and together we push our IT department forward. The support I get from my boss is also very valuable to me in order to achieve a good balance between work and spare time.
