Introduction

Welcome to our Digital Standards site.​

It is the place to discover how we do things technically at Essity.

Think of it as a guide

Guide

rather than an instruction manual

It is a living site

  • authored by those working with the technology every day
  • using Docusaurus, using Git based publishing
  • hosted on an Azure Static Web App

We want our readers to find guidance and inspiration on how to approach delivering technology solutions for Essity's business.

We want our contributing authors to have an easy experience focused on writing, without the tech getting in the way... echoing what our business partners and customers look for.

Site Layout​

We have structured the site to reflect the three dimensions we work in

  • technology - along the 'full stack' elements
  • time - aka 'path to production'
  • territory - aka our 'markets', our 'organisations' and our 'partners'

Dimensions

plus

  • value - the Essity Value Stream areas and processes, which leverage the solutions
  • hygiene - ensuring digital health throughout with topics like 'security' and 'observability'
  • tutorials - guides to help carry you carry out particular processes such as making a request or editing a page

Positioning this site relative to others​

It is easy to wonder how this Digital Standards site related to others. Perhaps the analogy is that it is the reception area of the Essity knowledgebase.

  • anyone in Essity can enter
  • they can read the glossy brochure on service offerings which contain no sensitive (real) information
  • find the contact to reach out to
  • the real information on real projects and services is located in seperate sites with their own security e.g. Sharepoint, Confluence, Azure DevOps etc.
