BENEFITS THAT OUR SOCIAL INTRANETS PROVIDE

Non-financial employee recognition

We provide a social intranet that supports enterprise-wide employee recognition through announcing achievements and promotions, posting employee success stories, assigning status badges (e.g., Expert, Master).

Smooth change management

We bring intranets that guide employees through organizational changes like mergers and acquisitions. They help to create a social space for communication, discussion and collecting feedback on changes in business processes and corporate culture.

Centralized content governance

We offer intranets with a clear-cut content governance model. It allows keeping all corporate files in order and avoid content silos.

Effective communication

We create a SharePoint intranet that connects all the company’s employees all over the world. Thus, employees can easily find and reach their colleagues with certain skills, in case they need help with fulfilling their tasks. We arrange both formal (business-related) and informal (communities, social media) communication within an intranet.

Increased employee engagement

We build social intranets with convenient UX and intuitive UI. We also enrich social intranets with personalization features, for example, personalized news and content suggestions.

Employee satisfaction and retention

With a SharePoint social intranet, you can support employees by offering, corporate knowledge base, Q&A section and other features. We enhance your intranet with surveys and questionnaires, which allows for regular monitoring of employees’ work satisfaction. HR managers will be able to see contentment dynamics and make necessary improvements to increase employee satisfaction and retention.

Corporate culture support

We create unique branding for a SharePoint intranet that helps to promote corporate culture (values, goals, achievements, etc.) across the company.

SOCIAL FEATURES WE BRING TO YOUR INTRANET

Communication tools and web parts (news, announcements, employee benefits, policies and procedures, chats, blogs, wikis, communities, discussion boards, social networks).

Gamification features (badges, leaderboards, mini-games, etc.).

Analytical and reporting tools (feedback, surveys and questionnaires, dashboards).

Learning management features (onboarding training, compliance training, microtraining apps, assessment tests and quizzes).

Employee help desk (processing employee requests related to vacation, health insurance, office supplies, equipment maintenance, etc.).

CONTENT MANAGEMENT CAPABILITIES WE PROVIDE

Content creation. The content authoring module of a SharePoint intranet simplifies generating various types of intranet content. This module enables end users to focus on content, not on the authoring process.

Content diversity. A social intranet supports multiple content categories: news and announcements, policies and procedures, Q&A, wikis, intranet usage, etc.

Content analytics. A SharePoint intranet enables collecting data on intranet use and popularity.

Content personalization. To improve content search and accessibility, a SharePoint intranet supports personalized quick links, content suggestions, recently viewed documents, personalized newsfeed and timeline.

SERVICE OPTIONS WE OFFER

Developing a social-oriented intranet from scratch as a collaboration hub or a full-fledged content management platform.

Migrating your intranet from third-party platforms to SharePoint and from SharePoint to newer versions of the platform or to the cloud.

Adding new features to your intranet (LMS, wikis, etc.).

SOCIAL INTRANET OPTIONS WE DELIVER

Depending on the required degree of socialization, we provide the following options for an intranet with social tunes:

An intranet complemented with social web parts. We add several social web parts to your business-oriented intranet. For example, we can create a discussion board, which employees can access right on the home page of the intranet.

An intranet with an isolated social environment. We unite numerous social features under one tab (e.g., named Corporate Life) of a SharePoint intranet to have them on the same page: a blog, a discussion board, communities, classifieds, a media gallery, and other social features.

A full-fledged social intranet. We deliver an intranet dedicated exclusively to the social activities of your company.
