hi!tech – Innovation, Now with a Smarter CMS
Future-proofing Siemens’ innovation magazine: editor-friendly, multilingual CMS.
Siemens Austria’s hi!tech magazine has been covering tech innovation for over 20 years. We gave its online presence a reboot – with a modern design, a powerful multi-language CMS, and a publishing flow built for the future.

Brief & Backstory
The original hi!tech website was showing its age – visually and technically. Siemens wanted more than just a facelift. The goal was to create a responsive, content-rich experience that could support their editorial team across languages, formats, and publication workflows. Smart publishing, built for scale.

The Big Idea
We redesigned hi!tech with a mobile-friendly, shareable, and editorially flexible layout – clear typography, better readability, and tailored templates for articles, category pages, and features. Underneath, we built a CMS that supported multiple editors with flexible roles, language assignments, and a shared global media library.
How We Brought It to Life
We built a visual index to structure articles on a responsive grid – making it easy to spotlight cover stories and key reads. Editors can pull images or videos directly from the Siemens DAM system by simply pasting in an asset ID. For multilingual content, the CMS integrates with Lingotek to automatically translate stories into English, Bulgarian, Romanian, Serbian, Czech, Croatian, and more.

Things We Geeked Out On
- Multi-language publishing flows with role-based editorial assignments
- Automatic translation via Lingotek API
- DAM integration for image/video embedding via Siemens’ asset ID system
- Customisable article templates for different content types
- Built-in 2FA for secure editorial access
- Tracking powered by Adobe Analytics
What It Did for the Client
The new hi!tech site brought Siemens’ innovation storytelling into the present – faster to manage, easier to share, and fully scalable across markets and editorial teams. More readable, more powerful, more hi-tech (yes, we went there).
