GVB: Fast and Flexible Digital Experiences with EDS

GVB: Fast and Flexible Digital Experiences with EDS

VASS helps GVB modernize its digital ecosystem and, in less than 4 months, launch a scalable platform that empowers communications without compromising IT governance.

GVB needed to launch a new portal with a refreshed identity and greater creative flexibility.

Gebäudeversicherung Bern (GVB), the cantonal building insurance provider for the Canton of Bern, plays a key role in risk prevention and public safety communication. With more than 15 websites in its digital ecosystem, GVB identified the need to modernize its online presence.

The goal was to create engaging and agile online experiences, fully aligned with its brand identity while maintaining consistency within the enterprise-wide Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) ecosystem.

The challenge

With more than 15 websites in AEM Cloud — including one of Switzerland’s most popular blogs for homeowners — GVB needed to launch a new portal with a refreshed identity and greater creative flexibility.

The challenge: balancing innovation and editorial autonomy while staying aligned with IT’s technology strategy, in a project with a fixed launch deadline and zero room for delays.
