Scaling for tomorrow: How UNICEF Germany built a flexible and future-proof platform for its digital channels

UNICEF Germany is dedicated to ensuring the well-being of children worldwide. To continue delivering its mission effectively in the digital space, the organization required a modernization of its digital channels. The goal was to create a future-proof, high-performance system that could seamlessly handle increasing traffic and evolving digital demands. 

CoreMedia’s advanced content management capabilities significantly enhance the editorial experience for UNICEF Germany. The updated system, smoothly implemented by Bitgrip, provides greater flexibility in creating and managing articles and landing pages. The new features have improved performance, ensuring that content delivery remains fast and efficient.

With a newly developed, standardized API connection between the individual services, all processes run smoothly even under high traffic. Built on robust technical standards, the system remains flexible and ready for effortless integration of additional providers in the future.

To maintain platform stability and operational security, Bitgrip has implemented comprehensive monitoring solutions. A dedicated dashboard enables UNICEF Germany to oversee all subsystems, ensuring real-time visibility into platform performance.

The heart of the monitoring system is performance measurement at every level, allowing for rapid and targeted responses when needed. This way, the UNICEF Germany team gains deeper insights into its system health, ensuring a smoother operation at all times.

As part of the platform relaunch, design tokens were introduced to manage key design elements across multiple sites. This innovation significantly increased flexibility, making it easier to ensure a cohesive and scalable brand experience across UNICEF Germany’s digital presence.
