Sound Familiar?

Too many tools. Not enough clarity.

Staff have access to more technology than ever before. In the Microsoft 365 stack alone, there’s Teams, SharePoint, Viva Engage, OneDrive, Outlook, Planner, and more. Add in your other SaaS applications and legacy systems — and it’s no wonder people are confused about which tools to use, and when.

Low adoption

Staff have given up on the intranet because it’s slow, outdated, or impossible to navigate. They resort to email and word-of-mouth for company updates.

Can’t find anything

Poor search, no metadata model, and deeply nested folder structures mean hours wasted every week looking for the right document.

No mobile experience

Frontline and field-based workers have no way to access company information on the go — and that’s 80% of the workforce for some organisations.

Outdated content

No governance, no review cycles, no content owners. Policies from 2019 sit next to documents that were never approved in the first place.

Governance gaps

Scattered documents with no version control, no compliance trail, and sensitive files accessible to people who shouldn’t see them.

Disconnected teams

Departments operating in silos, relying on email chains and spreadsheets because there’s no single source of truth to bring everyone together.

A well-designed intranet isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s the connective tissue of your digital workplace — the single place that ties your modern workplace together and empowers your people to be more productive.

What We Deliver

End-to-end intranet services. One partner.

Whether you’re building from scratch, migrating from a legacy platform, or breathing new life into an underperforming intranet — our Modern Workplace team covers every dimension.

Strategy & Information Architecture

We start with your people. Through user-centred design workshops, stakeholder interviews, and content audits, we map out an information architecture that reflects how your organisation actually works. No guesswork. No org-chart-as-navigation.

SharePoint Design & Build

Branded, responsive, consumer-grade experiences using SharePoint’s modern framework — with personalised content, smart search, and seamless integration with Teams, Viva, and your wider Microsoft 365 environment.

Document Management & Governance

Governance frameworks, content lifecycle management, metadata models, and automated review workflows using Power Automate — so your documents stay current, compliant, and easy to find.

Migration & Modernisation

Still on SharePoint Classic? Running Confluence or a custom-built platform? We’ve managed hundreds of migrations with a structured approach covering assessment, content remediation, and post-migration validation.

Adoption & Change Management

Deployment is only half the battle. We build adoption programmes, run training sessions, and establish content owner communities to make sure your intranet gets used — and keeps getting better.

Managed Services

Once your intranet is live, we don’t disappear. Ongoing support, enhancements, monitoring, and user assistance — so your platform evolves as your business does.

#Space is our intranet accelerator, purpose-built on Microsoft 365. It uniquely packages the best of SharePoint Online with our well-defined delivery process — giving you a branded, governed, fully functional intranet live in as little as 7 weeks.

We follow a Configure First, Customise Second methodology. You get a rock-solid foundation fast, then extend and personalise it as your needs evolve. No more waiting months for a custom build that blows the budget before it’s launched.

The Platform

Why SharePoint for your intranet?

With over 200 million users globally, SharePoint Online is the world’s leading enterprise collaboration platform. Here’s why it makes sense as your intranet foundation.

You already have it

If your organisation uses Microsoft 365, SharePoint Online is included in your licensing. No additional platform costs, no third-party vendor lock-in.

Seamless integration

Works natively with Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, Viva, Power Platform, and every other Microsoft 365 tool your people already use.

Enterprise-grade security

Built-in encryption, multi-factor authentication, and advanced compliance features. Add Antares governance frameworks for full data protection.

AI and Copilot ready

A well-structured SharePoint environment is the foundation for Microsoft 365 Copilot and AI-powered search. Get your data in order now, and you’re ready for what’s next.

Mobile-first

Modern SharePoint sites are responsive by default, and Viva Connections delivers a branded mobile experience through Teams for frontline workers.

Scalable and flexible

From organisations with 50 staff to enterprises with 18,000+, SharePoint scales to meet your needs without a platform change.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We’ve got answers.

With our #Space accelerator, a fully functional, branded intranet can be live in as little as 7 weeks. Custom enterprise builds typically take 10–16 weeks depending on complexity, integrations, and content migration requirements.
It depends on the scope. #Space deployments start at a fraction of the cost of a custom build because you’re leveraging our pre-built accelerator framework. We offer three tiers — Essentials, Standard, and Premium — to match different budgets. Contact us for a tailored quote.
#Space provides a proven, pre-configured foundation covering the most common intranet requirements out of the box — ideal for organisations that want speed and value. A fully custom build suits complex, unique requirements. Many organisations start with #Space and extend over time.
If you’re on SharePoint Classic, a legacy platform, or a competing product, we manage the full migration. Our structured approach covers pre-migration assessment, content remediation, metadata mapping, data migration, and post-migration validation — designed to minimise disruption.
Absolutely. Modern SharePoint sites are responsive by default, and we integrate with Microsoft Viva Connections to deliver a branded mobile experience through Teams. This is especially valuable for desk-less workforces — like NRMA, where 80% of staff are on the frontline.
A well-structured SharePoint intranet is the foundation for Microsoft 365 Copilot. Establishing proper information architecture, metadata models, and governance upfront sets your organisation up for AI-powered search, content generation, and productivity tools as they mature.
Yes. We offer managed services from ad-hoc support to comprehensive monthly plans including enhancements, monitoring, and continuous improvement. We also establish content owner communities so your internal teams are empowered to manage the platform independently.
We’ve delivered intranet solutions across financial services, not-for-profit, health and aged care, education, professional services, government, and more. Our user-centred design approach adapts to any industry because it starts with your people, not our assumptions.
