Custom Intranet Services Everything You Need To Know
Unlock your organisation’s most powerful asset: employee productivity
There’s no denying that staff have access to more technology than ever before. In the Microsoft productivity stack alone, users can choose from apps like Teams, Viva Engage, SharePoint, Delve, OneDrive and Outlook.
Additionally, there’s other SaaS applications, legacy on-premises systems and other corporate platforms to navigate. Is it any wonder there’s confusion about which tools to use, and when to use them?
While all these technologies have a place, understanding how they fit into a broader technology ecosystem can be challenging.
The answer: a company-wide Intranet that ties your modern workplace together.
What is the Modern Intranet?
The traditional intranet has often been recognised by its complex structure, characterised by a mixture of deeply nested publishing and collaboration spaces.
These spaces often make it challenging for users to find the information they need quickly. The content is mostly organised around departments, projects, and teams, leading to a somewhat convoluted user experience even for those who are familiar with the company.
In contrast, modern intranets have evolved to become simpler and flatter in their structure. One significant factor contributing to this shift is the adoption of tools like Microsoft Teams, which have taken much of the collaboration and communication out of the intranet. Teams and similar platforms provide a streamlined and user-friendly way for employees to communicate, collaborate, and share information in real-time. This shift has allowed modern intranets to focus on serving as a central hub for essential company resources and information.
Modern intranets have adopted a user-centric approach. They are designed with a focus on answering questions like, “How do I do X?” or “Where can I find Y information?” This shift in perspective makes it easier for new employees, including those just starting in the organisation, to quickly become accustomed to the business.

Benefits of implementing a modern intranet
The platform trusted by over 100 million users
SharePoint and Office 365 have over 100 million users for a reason. As one of the leading enterprise modern workplace platforms, SharePoint is proven to get results. We prefer SharePoint for intranet solutions because it:
-
Drives productivity
SharePoint Integrates with many of the applications your employees use every day, saving time and making it easier to get work done.
-
Central platform for performing day-to-day tasks
This helps prevent confusion about which tools are best for particular tasks. Almost everything employees need can be made available either within or from SharePoint.
-
Highly customisable
We can design a SharePoint environment that matches your corporate colours, branding and personality.
-
Short learning curve
Most users are familiar with at least one Microsoft product, making it easier to get started than other intranet platforms.
