Internal communication meets artificial intelligence
The amount of internal content at Siemens is overwhelming. The purpose is to inform, entertain and inspire more than 385,000 employees worldwide – with content that is perfectly tailored to their individual needs. To ensure that everyone is up to date and benefits from relevant information.
Our approach.
One channel. All relevant information.
Coffee Mug bundles Siemens' internal news portals in one place and filters the relevant information.
AI for personalization.
Depending on preferences, reading behaviour and location, the content adapts to the user's needs using an algorithm developed specifically for this purpose.
Relevance is king.
Continuous feedback is collected and incorporated into the further development to continuously provide even more relevant content.
Access from any device, anywhere.
Coffee Mug enables Siemens’ internal news to be consumed worldwide with any device.
Personalized news service Coffee Mug.
All relevant information in one platform.
With the platform Coffee Mug, Siemens is laying the foundation for smart, digital internal communication: all news are individually adapted to the needs, preferences and behavior of the respective employee. An intelligent algorithm taps various internal news sources and offers the user exactly the amount of relevant content that she/he can read in the time she/he wants. Exactly as long as it takes her/him to drink a cup of coffee.
