  • The Organization does not appear as a single body
  • Absence of common branding
  • Information hard to find in silos (Departments)
  • Strategic information not communicated
  • Noise and redundancy
  • High costs of development

Job decription

t was an industrial process optimization project (for 300 ILO web editors), which led to the creation of a system of websites coordinated with each other, through the development of a CMS. The optimization, which also led to cost savings for individual sites, was achieved through the standardization of content, navigation patterns and user interface.
