Business Challenge
The successful growth of the company did not happen without impact to the website over the years.
The web presence continued to grow more complex with less clarity with each newly added business branch. Web pages with too much and long content for varying customer target groups were unable to provide the required overview and explain the company's complex solutions. Also, international customers had no English version of the web presence, leading to lessened visits despite much available content and information.
Additionally, automation and industry 4.0 should get a more important significance. New subsidiaries of the production area had to been added and integrated into the existing portfolio. Finally, the complex product database of electronics had to been portrayed adequately and exhaustively.
