Designing Digital Highways – meet Evy Svensson, Enterprise Architect at Scania
11 NOVEMBER 2025
As an Enterprise Architect in Internet of Things (IoT) at Scania, Evy Svensson builds information infrastructure: carefully designed systems that help data flow safely, effectively and with purpose.
”It’s about making relevant information available, making sure it only reaches the intended audience in a way that is useful for the consumer while the effort supports the entire organisation,” Evy explains. “And doing so in a way that supports not just one team, but the entire organisation.”
Evy’s role is strategic at its core. She keeps an eye on internal developments and external trends – technical, political, and human – to guide Scania’s information landscape in the right direction.
That means evaluating needs across the business, avoiding short-sighted ‘quick fixes’ and spotting opportunities to create scalable, modular solutions that serve multiple stakeholders.
“Sometimes, someone asks for a tool without realising five other teams need the same thing,” she explains. “That’s where I come in – connecting the dots between people, technology and initiatives.”
Evy is part of a central team supporting every corner of the Scania organisation.
Relationships as important as strategy
Evy is part of a central team that supports every corner of the Scania organisation: from production and logistics to management. With 17 people now working across three interconnected teams, what began as a small unit has grown into a crucial hub for internal digital development.
To succeed in her role, Evy relies as much on relationships as on strategy. “It’s about building trust, listening actively and sharing knowledge. We’re here to support, and that means truly understanding what people need,” she explains.
A core part of Evy’s work is standardisation to enable smooth, secure and consistent data flows. “Think of it as someone coming to visit you at home,” she says. “They need roads to get there that are well maintained and follows a certain standard to make them useful. Regardless if it’s a planned visit or not, you want to make sure you have the information you need to decide whether to let them in or not through your door.”
Technology alone isn’t enough. ”We must never forget that people are impacted by the decisions we make. We need to adapt to their needs, maturity levels and workflows. That’s why our work is never really ‘done’ – it’s a constant process of improvement.”
”Scania’s expertise in logistics and autonomous vehicles could make a great impact in the Space industry. I think we should aim for the stars and offer Scania’s transport solutions on Earth and beyond,” says Evy.
From Assembler to Enterprise Architect
Evy started her journey in one of Scania’s factory where she was inspired to pursue a career in IT. ”I’ve always had a need to understand the bigger picture; to really understand how everything fits together.”
Her natural curiosity and drive to improve systems led Evy to her current role. It’s one where no two days are the same, but every day moves towards a shared goal: making life easier for Scania employees through smart, seamless information flows.
