Arvato Systems supported Bertelsmann in the development and optimization of the Bertelsmann Collaboration Platform (BCP), a high-reach community event platform. By integrating Arvato Systems Alive as a central building block, the BCP was able to successfully run hybrid events, seamlessly share knowledge and promote internal exchange. The platform recorded an increase from 1,500 to around 6,000 registered users, with hybrid events such as the annual Tech & Data Summit being particularly successful.

Initial situation

The BCP began with the first Tech & Data Week Since then, it has developed into a valuable tool for the Bertelsmann Group. Employees from all areas are invited to use the BCP to further their education and share knowledge - both by participating in interactive communities and via news feeds, blog articles, project presentations, innovation camps and hybrid live events. hybrid live events.

Vision

Bertelsmann wanted to promote the internal exchange of knowledge and cross-location collaboration. The means to this end was to be the BCP, via which hybrid events with international speakers from different locations can be both transmitted and consumed.

The solution

The BCP as a tool for knowledge transfer, collaboration and internal communication is an ongoing project. It is made up of various apps, such as event calendars, communities, blogs and ChatGPT, as well as the API Marketplace. The BCP is designed so that users can create and publish a wide range of their own content. For example, Bertelsmann employees have the opportunity to report in blog posts and articles on what they are currently working on and how other units can benefit from it. Some APIs developed by employees make it into the platform's own marketplace so that other units can install the API - which increases the efficiency of collaboration. The ChatGPT module is particularly popular. This is a non-public version that runs on its own domain. This means that internal company information is secure at all times.
