Talent-management software, Umantis, was integrated into the website for the automated presentation of job advertisements. Tensid has been introduced in order to support the digital corporate communication.

Australian Red Cross saves lives and supports people before and after disasters strike. The goal of the website redesign was to enable editors to have full control over their content and display, and give them the ability to build and manage their pages and campaigns quickly and easily.

At the moment, early A/B testing and Personalization tests are being investigated for particular sites.
