How HLS modernized their platform with XWiki

Why it matters

Outdated tools slow teams down. If you're managing content, multilingual publishing, or strict compliance workflows, legacy platforms won’t keep up.

That was the challenge faced by the Historical Dictionary of Switzerland. A high-volume, multilingual content operation stuck in rigid systems that slowed publishing, made collaboration hard, and left no room for growth.

They moved to XWiki. Here’s what changed:

  • All content and translations follow controlled workflows, ensuring full traceability and compliance.
  • Distributed teams work collaboratively in one platform with roles, permissions, and version control.
  • Multilingual publishing runs on structured templates, keeping every version aligned and consistent.
  • Users access knowledge faster with smart filters and a front-end built for clarity.

Struggling with complex legacy systems? Learn to rebuild your systems for scale, compliance, and control with XWiki.
