Informations Gesellschaft

InformationsGesellschaft is a German agency for software and visual communication, based in the country and working with clients across the DACH region. Its own description says it has developed software and applications for the digital age for more than twenty-five years. The agency plans and builds mediaguides, web applications, terminals and websites, and it also designs corporate identities that run across print and screen.

Mediaguides for museums and exhibitions

The best-known product is the xpedeo mediaguide, an accessible digital exhibition guide that comes with its own editing system. It runs on apps, web apps and terminals, so a museum can offer visitors the same content on their phones or on an on-site screen. The company says museums across the DACH region use the product, and it describes the guide as designed to be barrier-free. Newer work includes a mediaguide system for a city museum that is planned to extend to two further exhibition venues.

Web content management with additor

The agency's own content management system, additor, is used to edit and administer website content, including from a tablet. It is offered as the company's highlight and is aimed at institutions that need to update exhibition and museum sites without specialist technical skills. The company presents it as a tool that keeps content in the hands of the people who own it.

Corporate design and web platforms

For industry, culture and public institutions the agency builds complex web platforms and digital exhibition concepts. It also produces cross-media corporate designs that keep an organization's visual identity consistent in print, online and on screen. The company says clients value its ability to analyse a communication task, plan for the right audience and deliver the work to a high design standard using current technology.

Exhibitions and cultural institutions

The firm works on exhibitions for museums and other cultural institutions, where content, design and software have to fit together. The company describes its offer as one service for the exhibition guide, the website and the printed identity, so that visitors meet the same design language wherever they encounter the institution.
