The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) was searching for an open-source solution to replace Confluence that integrates seamlessly with their existing infrastructure, and offers a granular permission management system. 

After a thorough evaluation of options on the market which included a detailed analysis of macros compatibility and on-premises integrations through APIs, XWiki was chosen as the optimal solution. The entire consulting, planning, migration and customization process was completed within 10 months, resulting in a highly tailored intranet and documentation system that met all of KIT’s stringent requirements.

In this project we have introduced 5 new migration bridge macros, namely link-window, multiexcerpt, numberedheadings, incoming-links, and markdown-url and improved other 3 pre-existing features.

"XWiki was the most open alternative with the least amount of effort to change from our side. These were our two essential criterias for choosing the new tool." - Wolfgang Mexner, Head of IT department
