A modern workplace solution is an effective way for an organisation to create a cohesive, organised, collaborative workspace for an office-based, remote or hybrid workforces.

An intranet site is an internal website (or portal) that helps employees stay up to date with their company. It serves as a website, communications channel, knowledge management tool, and collaboration platform. SharePoint is a powerful application that can create a high-performing intranet site with Microsoft 365 integrations. It helps you meet organisational needs by connecting and organising data based on the project, department, division, region, etc. 

Organisations are built on people, projects, and processes that require management and organisation.

A cohesive intranet can reduce the time wasted searching for files, integrating new employees into different systems and managing documents. Instead, you can spend time encouraging two-way communication, collaboration and streamlined task management. By utilising SharePoint and Microsoft 365 functions, organisations can manage all aspects of business in one area.

Here’s how we helped one of our clients: 

“We knew exactly what our new system could look like, and how it would operate. Unfortunately, Covid-19 forced our planned face-to-face training prior to launch to be conducted virtually and immediately after we closed our office and introduced home working for all office-based staff. The implementation of SharePoint was very timely as it enabled our staff to access the required files whilst working from home. IT Champion were on hand to assist with any initial teething problems and have been very supportive ever since”
