The challenge

Internal communication meets artificial intelligence

The amount of internal content at Siemens is overwhelming. The purpose is to inform, entertain and inspire more than 385,000 employees worldwide – with content that is perfectly tailored to their individual needs. To ensure that everyone is up to date and benefits from relevant information.

  • 33 %

    more relevant content was played out in the first three months (according to a survey).

  • 1 K

    content pieces are published via news platforms every day.

  • 385 K+

    employees now receive relevant information on a daily basis.

Our approach

  1. One channel. All relevant information.
    Coffee Mug bundles Siemens' internal news portals in one place and filters the relevant information.
  2. AI for personalization.
    Depending on preferences, reading behaviour and location, the content adapts to the user's needs using an algorithm developed specifically for this purpose.
  3. Relevance is king.
    Continuous feedback is collected and incorporated into the further development to continuously provide even more relevant content.
  4. Access from any device, anywhere.
    Coffee Mug enables Siemens’ internal news to be consumed worldwide with any device.
