Allstad manages church buildings and properties across Norway. As custodians of the parsonage heritage, they have a responsibility to both history and the future. Now they are testing AI with TellusR.
Today Allstad sits on enormous volumes of data about properties. The challenge is that the valuable information is spread across systems such as Asta, ACOS’s WebSak, Facilit and various Microsoft-based solutions.
Allstad therefore faced both a fundamental and a complex question: how can they use artificial intelligence to make everyday work more efficient – without either losing control or locking themselves to specific systems?
We wanted to test whether AI could help us get more out of the data we already have, not least from our large document archive containing several hundred years of history.
Allstad decided to get started with a pilot project with TellusR. Instead of locking themselves to a specific system vendor, they got a test setup where data from several different systems was connected and made searchable – in a single interface.
Starting small
One of the most important things for Allstad in this project was to move quickly from idea to action.
In just a few weeks we saw concrete results. We can search across our systems, and it gives us a much simpler basis for figuring out how we can best use AI going forward.
Allstad manages a shared cultural heritage. That carries great responsibility and a strong desire to make choices based on openness and knowledge. Here the pilot project with TellusR fits perfectly: first Allstad tests AI on a small scale, then they can make informed choices about how to proceed.
The low threshold to get started means a lot to us. It gives us quick results while leaving us free to decide the way forward. That gives us confidence.
With this approach, Allstad is not only preserving the past. They are also exploring how new technology can help manage cultural heritage more intelligently in the future.
Our experience shows that for many Norwegian businesses, getting started with AI is the biggest barrier. That is why we emphasise quick, simple pilot projects that deliver learning from day one. For us, there is value in setting up the process that way. It lets customers like Allstad test safely, without feeling they are committing themselves.
How we help customers get started
We set up short, simple projects that deliver concrete results in a few weeks – with no commitment. That leaves room for learning and confidence before the big decisions are made.
