Case Study: Aeres achieves centralized, personalized digital access for 60 sites with Sitecore

Sitecore platform improves access to wide range of degree and training programs and institutions

Aeres, a Dutch knowledge institute for the green sector, needed to reach a diverse student body across many affiliated institutions while maintaining good online findability and local flexibility. To solve this, Aeres consolidated 60 websites onto a single Sitecore platform (Sitecore XP 9.3), working with Sitecore and partner theFactor.e to balance central governance with institutional customization.

Using Sitecore, Aeres implemented a modular, templated approach—one central platform with standardized templates and monthly component development via scrum—making site creation fast and local customization easy. The outcome: 60 sites managed from one Sitecore platform (with 26 product owners), improved content tooling and findability, faster onboarding of new institutions, and pilots for personalization as Aeres prepares to migrate to Sitecore 10.
