Case Study: Zeppelin University improves internal communication and onboarding with Haiilo

How a Modern Intranet Creates Internal Networking

Zeppelin University, a private institution, sought to improve internal communication and create a digital hub for its students, lecturers, and staff. The challenge was to foster a sense of togetherness online by replacing disparate systems with a single, unified platform for collaboration, information sharing, and streamlined onboarding processes within a single semester. To address this, they chose to implement the Haiilo social intranet.

With the assistance of consulting partner Kronsteg, Haiilo was implemented as the central digital entry point for the university, integrating with existing software like Microsoft 365. The solution successfully created the "ZUniverse" intranet, leading to measurable results including 87% active usage among students, 30% faster onboarding for lecturers, and a 93% increase in blog articles written by employees. Haiilo became an integral platform for over 1,400 users, significantly enhancing engagement and communication.
