Norway Post to Improve Citizen Portal and Internal Information Access with FAST
Fast Search & Transfer announced that Norway Post has selected the award-winning FAST Enterprise Search Platform (FAST ESP(TM)) to improve their customer facing portals and several others of the organization’s internal solutions.
Norway Post is one of Norway’s biggest companies, with operations throughout the country. The group had revenues of NOK23.7 billion in 2006 and employs just over 23,000 employees. Norway Post’s ambition is to develop into a leading mail and logistics corporation in the Nordic region. Its vision is to become the world’s most future-oriented mail and logistics corporation.
Norway Post selected FAST and Comperio after an extensive tender process, and the implementation will entail search solutions for the postal services in Norway, Sweden and Denmark, as well as several other subsidiaries. FAST ESP will become a central component of the IT infrastructure at Norway Post, and the solution also includes additional components based on FAST ESP developed by FAST’s partner Comperio.
“Norway Post will use FAST search technology across several functional areas and in both customer-facing and internal solutions,” commented Dr. John M. Lervik, FAST’s CEO. “We are extremely pleased to see that what we have been stating all along – that search is becoming a key necessity and at the centre of IT infrastructure, is becoming more and more adopted across both private and public organizations.” Norway Post is one of Norway’s biggest companies, with operations throughout the country.
