Context

A redesigned service portal with maximum ecodesign level

Région Bretagne launched a service portal redesign project to offer a new version of its digital services.

Among the strong requirements applied to this new version was achieving maximum ecodesign level.

The goal was to embed digital sobriety in design, development and maintenance practices for the portal, with regular tracking of results.

Results

Ecodesign driven by measurement, from build to maintenance

  • Ecodesign driven by results throughout the project, in build then maintenance phase, thanks to Greenspector Studio measurements.
  • Implementation of search with optimised semi-automatic input, reducing data volume by a factor of 5.
  • Publication of an ecodesign declaration presenting the results achieved.

Keys to success

What made the difference

Training project stakeholders in ecodesign

Project teams were trained upfront to share a common ecodesign culture and its challenges.

Defining frugality requirements from the start

Frugality requirements were defined upfront to guide functional, technical and editorial choices.

Adapting best practices to the portal context

Ecodesign best practices were adapted to the project's technical and functional context to remain concrete and actionable for teams.

Orienting the user experience towards frugality

A design review helped build a user experience consistent with digital sobriety objectives.

Measuring at each sprint

Greenspector Studio measurements were performed at each sprint during the build phase, with improvement recommendations based on observed results.

Testimonial

Nicolas Desmons speaks

« Our developers were made aware from project kick-off and gradually changed their way of working to adopt ecodesign reflexes. It is a deep change in practices. Greenspector ecoscore indicators served as our benchmark throughout this process. »
