Case Study: University of Lausanne streamlines its web ecosystem with Jahia

University of Lausanne streamlines 300+ websites with Jahia

The University of Lausanne (Unil) faced significant complexity in managing its sprawling web ecosystem of over 300 independent websites. This setup, while granting editorial autonomy to various faculties and services, led to redundant content, difficult navigation for users, and a heavy maintenance workload. Unil partnered with Jahia to streamline its web architecture, improve information clarity for its diverse audiences, and preserve the autonomy of its contributing teams.

Using the Jahia platform, Unil implemented a common environment to manage sites, templates, and components. This solution provided centralized governance while allowing different entities to publish within a defined framework. The results were substantial: the consolidation of 80 central-service sites into a single unified site reduced the page count from over 3,000 to around 1,300 pages. Jahia enabled Unil to dramatically reduce complexity, improve information access for users, and create a foundation for the gradual migration of all faculty and institute sites.
