Enterprise Search for SINTEF to Share Knowledge Across the Systems

SINTEF needed to move from its legacy systems to keep up with the ever-growing volumes and changing forms of information generated in their day-to-day work.

Key Objectives

  • Support business-critical processes

Uptime's Solution

  • Integrating with eRoom, Maconomy, Public360, SharePoint sites, and a 70TB file server
  • Technology used: SharePoint 2013, .NET, ASP.NET, JavaScript

SINTEF is an independent, not-for-profit research institute, the largest one in Scandinavia and among the four largest contract research institutions in Europe. They conduct contract R & D as a partner for the private and public sectors, with the following strategic focus areas:


– Renewable energy, climate- and environmental technology
– Oil and gas
– Ocean space technology
– Health and welfare
– Enabling technologies


SINTEF is a knowledge enterprise making a living from its intellectual capital. They needed to move from their legacy systems to keep up with the ever-growing volumes and changing forms of information generated in their day-to-day work.


SINTEF wanted to move away from the data isolation that dedicated systems keep, and provide universal access to information.


As a service provider, we have focused on how search functionalities can support business processes that are fundamental to SINTEF.
