Context of the project

The initiative includes the migration of 400+ websites and ~50TB of content, establishing a standardized and future-ready foundation that reduces operational complexity and total cost of ownership. A key component is the implementation of a China-compliant delivery model, ensuring local hosting, regulatory compliance, and integration readiness for regional ecosystems.

The new platform will be AI-ready, enabling integration with AI crawlers, intelligent search, and personalization capabilities, while providing real-time, context-aware user experiences. Built-in DevSecOps practices, automated pipelines, and enterprise-grade security will ensure continuous delivery, stability, and compliance without the need for future upgrades.

The program will also establish a scalable operating model, leveraging IT Hub resources to enable decentralized development and faster time-to-market, while maintaining governance and consistency across Business Areas.
