1. Enterprise Findability
Forsmarks Kraftgrupp AB
Forsmark nuclear power plant is one of the largest power plants in Sweden producing a sixth of all
electricity used in the country. Forsmark had a need to enhance simplicity in internal processes and to
facilitate knowledge transfer within the organisation. With assistance from Findwise, Forsmark
decided to provide its employees with one common search tool giving easy access to documentation
and information stored in various information systems.
Business Challenges
To be able to produce energy in a safe, reliable and efficient manner, Forsmark has many internal IT
systems for document, project, resource and process management, issue tracking and internal commu-
nication. As many employees are approaching retirement age, there is a great need for efficient
knowledge transfer to new employees taking over their duties. Forsmark realized the value of having a
simple, yet powerful knowledge management tool for facilitating the finding, compilation and transfer
of internal knowledge.
Findwise Solution
The solution was to create one comprehensive Findability solution that utilised search technology to
bring relevant electronic knowledge resources all together in one place.
Forsmark decided to build a
search service based on a
service-oriented architecture.
This enables the company to
interlink information stored
in various systems together
not only to be used by
employees via a web-based
search application, but also to
provide the means by which
internal applications can
access information stored in
other systems without human
intervention.
The first application to use
the search service, was a
web-based search tool
accessed from the intranet by
the employees.

2. Solution Details and Effects
 Provides one entry point to knowledge, which raises organisational productivity as employees
do not need to search for information separately in different systems. 3 out of 4 end-users
report that the search tool often or always helps them find reliable information as compared
to using other methods of finding information.
 Provides smart ways for end-users to refine their searches by using drill-down navigators that
filter the documents on the basis of, for example; format, author, source, department,
information type and information status. The solution also offers an optimized query comple-
tion feature to help users compose better queries to find known and new information.
 Provides a customizable web-based interface enabling employees to personalize their search
experience providing them with even faster access to the information they access often.
 Is based on the Autonomy IDOL 7 search platform and implemented in a service-oriented
architecture that enables Forsmark to capitalize on the investment in various new ways in the
future, besides the web-based search interface accessed from the intranet.
 Has a well-tuned relevance model and advanced search statistics features used to promote
popular content to end-users and enhance findability of popular content over time as the
solution is used.
 Comes with multi-language support of which Swedish and English are currently used.
