Challenge

Brand relaunch - Suffel presents itself in a new design

Growing amounts of data are a challenge for many companies - even for Suffel. There are a wide variety of data sources as well as data statuses, which in turn can only be viewed by certain specialist departments. The aim is to create structured data storage by defining data sovereignty. The challenge is to prepare the data so that it can be used for multiple purposes. Accordingly, these should be general and well structured so that they are not only suitable for the website (CMS), but also for future use cases.
