Intranet with Microsoft 365 – modern & connected

A modern intranet is far more than a digital news channel. It is the central gateway to your employees’ working world. This is where communication, knowledge, processes and tools come together – secure, well organised and always accessible.

With Microsoft 365 and SharePoint we create a platform that connects your organisation, strengthens internal communication and simplifies workflows. Close integration with tools such as Teams, Outlook, OneDrive and Power Platform creates a digital ecosystem that makes everyday work noticeably easier and connects every part of the business.

Our goal: an intranet that informs, connects and motivates – tailored to your needs and so intuitive that people actually use it.

Our delivery approach: from idea to lasting use

With our four-stage delivery approach, we guide projects safely from the initial vision to a successful roll-out. In the analysis phase, we create clarity about goals, priorities and the application landscape. Building on this, the design phase develops a robust information architecture and defines navigation, metadata and the migration strategy – complemented by apps and workflows that deliver measurable value. During implementation, a cockpit, templates and migration scripts ensure speed and quality: applications and automated workflows are implemented, and migrations are managed in a reproducible and transparent way. The roll-out ensures acceptance and stability: with a planned migration, role-based training, clear guides and reliable support. Across all phases, project management, consulting & support and consistent change management secure success – organisationally, technically and on a human level.
