Case Study: SCHOTT AG achieves faster knowledge sharing and 60% cost savings with Liferay

New intranet drives effective knowledge sharing among 10,000+ employees worldwide

Schott AG, a global technology group with more than 10,000 employees across 35 regions, needed a better way to share information and collaborate because its old intranet was too slow, inflexible, and limited in targeting content to the right groups. The company selected Liferay and its portal/intranet capabilities to create a new digital workplace that could support communication, knowledge exchange, and employee participation worldwide.

Liferay and implementation partner PRODYNA replaced the old intranet with SCHOTTnet, migrating over 12,000 content items in just a few hours and adding features such as blogs, profiles, networking, job postings, and an innovation platform. The results included more than 60% cost savings, a cut in time to market from six months to three months, and active use by over 10,000 employees in 35 regions, with 2,000+ people participating in more than 35 communities.
