Tietotekniset

Tietotekniset is a Finnish adjective meaning related to information technology. It derives from tietotekniikka ("information technology") and is used to describe entities or concepts associated with IT, such as hardware, software, networks, or services. Common expressions include tietotekniset ratkaisut (IT solutions), tietotekniset järjestelmät (IT systems), and tietotekniset laitteet (IT devices).

In Finnish, tietotekniset is used as a modifier within the broader field of tietotekniikka, which covers computer science, information systems, digital infrastructure, data management, and cybersecurity. The noun tietotekniikka denotes the discipline, while tietotekniset specifies characteristics or components related to that discipline.

It appears across sectors, including business, government, education, and research, to indicate IT-related aspects or requirements. Examples include tietotekniset palvelut (IT services), tietotekniset turvallisuusvaatimukset (IT security requirements), and tietotekniset standardit (IT standards). The term is not a separate field itself but a descriptor of technology-related matters.

Because Finnish adjectives agree with the nouns they modify, tietotekniset changes form for number and case, e.g., tietotekniset ratkaisut in plural nominative, tietoteknisessä ympäristössä in singular inessive. The word illustrates how information technology is embedded in everyday language of technology and administration.
