The Government’s Public Web Total Volume System aims to prevent information redun-
dancy and enhance operational efficiency by systematically managing the number of
public websites. While APCC’s segmented service structure was effective in delivering spe-
cialized climate data, the implementation of this policy presented a strategic opportunity
to substantially strengthen inter-service connectivity.

Rather than viewing the total volume limit as a constraint, APCC leveraged it as a pivotal
catalyst to integrate and upgrade its climate services into a unified, platform-based archi-
tecture. By shifting from siloed services to an integrated User Experience (UX) framework,
