OUR APPROACH

Our consulting services will lay the foundation for an efficient intranet.

Planning

At the start of the project, we will work with you to prepare a comprehensive analysis listing your requirements, which we examine in terms of potential and feasibility. This way, we ensure that the project does not get out of scope and that you receive all the functionalities that support your business processes the most. We then plan the IT architecture, taking a detailed look at the processes in your departments. After all, we can only work out the best possible solution for you if we know your workflows in detail.

Concept

Once the demand analysis is finalized, we will set up your project to make the many opportunities offered by a powerful intranet. Part of it is a detailed licensing consultation so that you fully understand the long-term costs associated with your solution package. Beyond that, we will show you the performance increase that the desired solution will bring to your daily work, after which we will conceptualize the individual product portfolio for you.

Implementation

Modern intranet and SharePoint solutions are characterized by high standardization, simplifying and stabilizing implementation. During this implementation, applications are individually configured to meet your requirements so that you receive a customized solution in line with the GDPR directives featuring your corporate design. In this phase, joint permanent reviews and continuous target-actual comparisons ensure that the project remains strictly within the previously defined framework.

    FAQ

    While SharePoint is a “swiss army knife” platform that can fit almost any business need with the right implementation, in its core it is an Intranet platform, and the world’s most popular one. It started as a Document Management System and evolved into Global Intranet platform with endless extensibility features. With the deep integration with Microsoft Teams, you can now bring your SharePoint Intranet right within Teams with a few clicks and provide your users a single gateway to your organization’s resources. Over time, SharePoint also served the purpose of an Extranet, which nowadays is taken over by the Power Apps Portals. There are many SharePoint Out-of-the-box Intranet solutions out there, but we recognize that businesses may have unique requirements and specific scenarios so we are providing custom-tailored Intranet solutions to our customers.

    An Intranet is an internal company portal providing employees access to organization’s resources in a structured way. SharePoint is a platform created by Microsoft that is designed to serve as a company Intranet but meanwhile can wear many other hats – Document Management System, Knowledge Management, HR toolset, Project Management, Workflow Management and more. SharePoint provides great potential for extensibility through custom development, so it can be modified to fit almost any unique business need from any kind of organization. To achieve that, it’s best to work with a Microsoft partner that has the knowledge and experience needed. We at Impactory help organizations build their modern Intranets based on Microsoft 365 and SharePoint for years and we’ll be happy to talk about your project goals.

    Microsoft Teams is the hottest collaboration product right now with a big part of businesses and institutions switching to teleworking in 2021. Just recently, Microsoft announced the Home Site App, which is strengthening the already strong relationship between SharePoint and Teams. The app provides users a single-entry point to your organization’s Intranet straight from Teams. There is no complex setup required and the integration allows you to have multiple benefits from SharePoint, accessible right from Teams such as fully integrated Intranet Search, Global Navigation panel, co-authoring experiences and more. SharePoint and Teams are working better together, and we recommend having both as part of your Digital Workplace strategy.

    An Intranet based on SharePoint is an internal company portal that provides employees access to the organization’s resources in a structured way with advanced search capabilities, document co-authoring experience, news broadcasting, content publishing and more. One of the main benefits of SharePoint is its flexibility and scalability. That makes it a first choice for organizations of many sizes and industries for their Intranet solution. You also get a lot more value from an Intranet based on SharePoint if you’re already using other tools from Microsoft thanks to the native integration that SharePoint has with all of them. One such example is the great integration between SharePoint Online and Microsoft Teams thanks to the Home Site App. Another one is the seamless real-time co-authoring experience on Office documents with the Microsoft 365 Apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc.

    A SharePoint Intranet is typically used by the employees to find company resources such as documents related to your company’s policies and procedures. Communication teams use the modern SharePoint Intranet to publish company news such as events, new hires, or financial results. Project Managers use an Intranet to identify potential talent, manage and track progress on tasks and communicate to broader audience about the project progress. Teams use SharePoint to store their documents and collaborate on them in real time through the integration with Microsoft 365 Apps such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

    Users would typically use an Intranet to find the following organizational resources, published by communication teams, leadership teams and project managers:

    • The latest company news
    • Colleagues/skills directory
    • Policies and procedures
    • Document/presentation templates
    • Organizational structures / organigrammes
    • Important projects information

    The main advantages of having a Corporate Intranet are:

    • Easy access to information for employees
    • Easy content publishing for communication teams
    • Single source of truth for company policies and procedures
    • Easy sharing and content targeting 
    • A place to share information about company news, events, new hires etc.
    • Document collaboration
    • Global Search

    As a disadvantage, we can count the cost to build and maintain an Intranet solution, as well as the potential confusion from users if your organization has already deployed multiple other tools that serve the same or similar needs. We recommend to our customers to consider consolidating such tools in a single platform or a suite such as Microsoft 365, as the best tools and applications are the ones that “play in concert”. A Corporate Intranet should still play a role in your overall Digital Workplace strategy.
