Today, Allstad has enormous amounts of data about properties. 

The challenge is that this valuable information is scattered across systems like Asta, ACOS' WebSak, Facilit, and various Microsoft-based solutions. Allstad's challenge was both fundamental and complex: How can they use artificial intelligence to make everyday life more efficient? And do so without losing control or locking themselves into specific systems? 

– We wanted to test whether AI could help us extract more from the data we already have, especially from our large document archive containing several hundred years of history, says Dagfinn Røed, who is the head of process and information management at Allstad.

Allstad decided to initiate a pilot project with TellusR. Instead of locking themselves to a specific system provider, they received a test setup where data from various systems were linked and made searchable. In one interface.

First on a Small Scale

One of the most important things for Allstad in this project was to quickly move from idea to action. 

– In just a few weeks, we saw concrete results. We can search across our systems, providing a much simpler basis for determining how best to use AI in the future, says Røed. 

Allstad manages a shared cultural heritage. This entails a great responsibility and a strong desire to make decisions based on openness and knowledge. Here, the pilot project with TellusR fits perfectly: First, Allstad tests AI on a small scale, and then they can make informed decisions on how to proceed, whether to take the next step with TellusR, or if a broader tender is needed. 

– The low threshold for getting started means a lot to us. It ensures rapid results while giving us the freedom to decide the way forward. It provides us with security, says Røed. 

With this approach, Allstad not only preserves the past but also explores how new technology can help manage cultural heritage even smarter in the future. 

– Our experience shows that for many Norwegian companies, getting started with AI is the biggest barrier, says Morten Krogh-Moe, CEO of TellusR.

– That's why we emphasize quick, simple pilot projects that provide learning from day one. For us, it has value in itself to set up the project in this way. It allows customers like Allstad to test safely without feeling committed.

How We Help Customers Get Started:

We set up short, simple projects that deliver actual results within a few weeks – without commitment. This allows room for learning and security before major decisions are made.
