Case Study: Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule achieves better remote research project management and team communication with Zenkit

Zenkit Base and Zenchat allows the university to carry out their complicated research project remotely and successfully

The Technical University of Applied Sciences Amberg-Weiden (Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule) sought to manage a complex, fully remote research project called 5G4Healthcare. The challenge was to enable effective team collaboration, documentation, and communication without the inefficiencies that often hinder distributed teams. To address this, they implemented the Zenkit Suite, specifically using the Zenkit Base and Zenchat products.

The solution involved using Zenkit Base to create an interactive, centralized hub for all project documentation, organizing work into collections for each major workstream. The team particularly leveraged the hierarchy view to clearly map out main items and subitems. For seamless communication, they integrated each Base collection with Zenchat, creating dedicated chat rooms for discussions. Juliana Hartig, a research associate, reported that Zenkit enabled the team to work 100% remotely with excellent structure and efficiency, eliminating communication problems and documentation issues, and she highly endorsed the platform's performance and service.
