Vattenfall needed to make it easier to find data

The challenge

The main requirement from the customer was for their employees to find data and related information across several systems when working on specific tasks and to be able to reuse the data in different applications. At the same time, it was also important to make sure that the safety regulations were met, and that information is available to the correct target groups.

The solution

Information from multiple systems is integrated, processed, and harmonized using the Findwise i3 platform utilizing Elasticsearch for indexing. Several different types of data are combined and made available in a modern single page web search application fitted for various user needs. Information can be queried when performing specific tasks where related information is needed.
