Key Performance Indicators 2020

Jamk University of Applied Sciences Ltd’s 24th operating year in 2020 was significantly affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Year 2020 was largely marked by the pandemic: Jamk relied on remote connections in most activities, and the campuses remained closed part of the spring. The commissioning of the new student administration system Peppi was another key development.

As the pandemic broke out, the results of the financial year were expected to be poor; Jamk managed to keep its activities more or less at the planned levels, however, and the service activities were the only ones that did not reach the target. This situation was also influenced by the fact that the pandemic hit everyone equally, and all parties thus shared a preparedness to be flexible in different situations, coping as well as possible with the effects of the pandemic. What also made things easier was the entire organisation’s excellent digital capabilities needed for distance work.

The operating profit was EUR 1,122,723 (profit for the financial year EUR 1,498,649), which was unexpectedly positive compared to the glum forecasts motivated by the pandemic in the early part of the year. However, the restrictions necessitated by the pandemic led to significant savings in service procurements and travel costs, which contributed to the good result.
