Case Study: Heidelberg University Hospital improves centralized information management with B13 Technology

Heidelberg University Hospital centralizes 50,000 pages with B13 Technology

Heidelberg University Hospital, a large medical facility in Germany, faced the challenge of managing vast and complex information across its approximately 50 departments and 60 microsites. Outdated and unsupported systems led to redundant data entries, making it difficult to keep information organized and up-to-date for its patients, staff, and researchers. The hospital engaged vendor B13 Technology to implement a new TYPO3-based solution.

B13 Technology implemented a centralized information management system using a single TYPO3 instance. The solution featured a powerful Apache Solr search function and responsive design. This eliminated data redundancy, allowing one edit to update content across all sites, and saved months of work by importing 50,000 pages. The results included significantly more up-to-date information, improved staff productivity, and a better user experience for mobile visitors. B13 Technology provided a future-proof foundation that makes adding new websites easy.
