Your intranet, your way
Intranets play an increasingly pivotal role within Employee Experience Platforms, and this is never more apparent than at the enterprise level. Whilst looking to maximize your investment in your existing Microsoft 365 suite, it's also likely that you'll have needs that are unique to your organization. Our vast experience in intranet delivery, combined with the Accelerator 365 toolset, helps build your intranet, your way.
How we approach your project
We combine our experience, across multiple disciplines, to work closely with you from project kick-off through to the intranet launch and beyond.
Discovery and solution design
A series of workshops allow us to identify the areas an enterprise intranet delivers maximum value to your business.
We lead the project team through a range of common intranet themes, such as news creation, page lifecycle, content migration and search configuration. Requirements are gathered and, more importantly, knowledge is shared - meaning you're left with a deep understanding of the platform you launch with.
By the close the Discovery phase, a clear picture of your intranet has taken shape, and is fully documented and planned.
Setup and prototype
Our Microsoft-first approach to intranet projects allows us to get moving rapidly. The Discovery phase is often supported with the setup and prototyping of your potential intranet, as we believe the quickest way to gaining a shared understanding is to see something in action.
The flexibility of the native SharePoint Online functionality, combined with the ease of augmenting that with the Accelerator 365 suite of apps, means there's no waiting 6 months before you're able to visualise the finished product.
Build and configuration
Unlike in days of past intranet projects, with SharePoint Online and Accelerator 365, the Build phase of a project can often be the quickest!
Out skilled consultants will create the necessary assets and structure in your SharePoint tenant, ready for you (or us) to populate with content. Advanced configuration tasks are carried out to make sure your content authors can do exactly that - focus on the content.
Content creation and migration
Content is an essential factor for a successful intranet launch. This may take the form of content created entirely to coincide with the new intranet or, perhaps more commonly, be content migrated from your previous intranet.
We are experienced in migrating from a variety of different platforms, be they earlier versions of SharePoint, non-Microsoft technology, or even other SharePoint 3rd party providers. The Build phase makes sure all the moving parts are in place, but it is during the Content phase of a project that your intranet springs to life!
Adoption and change management
We know that building an intranet and putting it live is not enough to ensure success. Our dedicated Adoption and Change Management consultants will be there throughout the project to make sure your intranet lands with your users.
Identifying the key communities, stakeholders and usage scenarios are key to delivering tailored communications and materials. By embedding an adoption mindset (and expertise) into every phase of we make certain the intranet speaks to your users in language they understand.
