KM2 >> Transforms UBA’s Web Presence into a Scalable Digital Hub

Unternehmen Berufsanerkennung (UBA) is an initiative supported by the DIHK Service GmbH and funded by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth (BMFSFJ) in Germany.

UBA’s mission is to support companies in recruiting and integrating international skilled workers whose foreign qualifications need to be officially recognized. The platform serves as a central hub for employers looking to hire international workers, specialized consultants at the German Chambers of Industry and Commerce (IHKs), and skilled international workers navigating the recognition process of their qualifications. 

UBA was looking to relaunch their website and transform it into a central platform for information and exchange. The goal was to consolidate and expand its services with a new member area and the development of a CRM functionality to complement a new digital network, and matching tool. 

To undertake the project, the organization sought an agency with extensive TYPO3 experience, strong UI and UX skills, along with the ability to drastically improve the website’s performance. Following an open tender, they chose KM2 >> to lead the project. 

The primary goal for the client was to relaunch the UBA website and platform into a modern, scalable, and functional platform for its key stakeholders (companies, professionals, and consultants). It was essential to create a series of network functionalities, including a CRM functionality, and improve the UBAConnect matching tool, in order to generate the intended results. 

TYPO3 was chosen as the ideal CMS for the project for a number of reasons. Firstly, the client already had a TYPO3 instance in place, making a relaunch to an improved TYPO3 instance a more straightforward process. Additionally, TYPO3’s renowned flexibility and scalability was perfectly suited for the long-term strategy KM2 >> aimed to support.

Having adopted a Scrum-styled collaborative approach, KM2 >> began the implementation process, which included the following key steps: 

• Refining the existing website design.
• Development of a protected member area with exclusive resources.
• Redesign and deep integration of UBAconnect (matching tool).
• Development of the functionalities of a DSGVO-compliant CRM tool with advanced filters, histories, and export functions.
• UX/UI enhancements, including role-based dashboards, teaser content, and event integration.
• Constructive remote collaboration with the UBA team.

Upon completion of these core tasks, KM2 >> and UBA were ready to proceed with the launch, which went live in the middle of June, 2025. The project’s success represents more than a simple relaunch. KM2’s >> close cooperation with its client showcases that beyond the technical improvements made to the website, the agency was also able to support its client in achieving its long-term strategic goals.

The platform delivers a measurable impact, empowering UBA to achieve its mission in supporting companies, consultants and skilled professionals in connecting and working together more effectively. The project’s organizational structure, being completed as a “focus project” with a Scrum framework and agile manner, allowed for a transparent and well-coordinated process.

TYPO3 offers the flexibility, scalability, and security that organizations need to manage complex digital experiences with ease. But the real success comes from partnering with the right TYPO3 agency — one that understands your goals and can bring your project to life.
