NEED/CHALLENGE
This water district had an internal team who actively updated and maintained the content, access, and structure of their intranet. Their IT team had a concrete process for communicating and sharing information within their teams and departments. Nonetheless, they were interested in more modern intranet capabilities that Microsoft SharePoint provides. In their roadmap, they planned to keep costs low, leverage the best solutions and infrastructure, and further unite their employees with a new intranet. Their main goal was to simplify content creation and management of their Intranet and empower the content owners to keep their intranet fresh and up to date.
Overview
Klarinet Solutions partnered with their management team in February of 2017. Their intranet needed an overhaul to match the evolving needs of the organization. They decided to engage Klarinet’s consulting services because they preferred to use a local consultant to design the intranet, assist with digitizing documents, and support all their ongoing needs to provide the best experience possible to their users. Our first project was to deploy a new corporate intranet built on the SharePoint platform to streamline internal processes, improve communication, and increase employee productivity. Our team met with representatives from each department to gather requirements and provided training to each Division so power users could build their own Division Pages and connect across their entire organization.
Solutions
The collaboration with the organization’s management was seamless and satisfying, our Klarinet team was able to:
- Create a purpose-driven intranet from the ground up within four months
- Become an external extension of their internal Information Technology team
- Provide an ongoing strategy for the Information Technology team.
- Provide consulting & support, system administration, system monitoring, updates, patching, and maintenance
- Ensure optimal digital workplace results, collaborations, and stability.
Klarinet Solutions now acts as a fully outsourced SharePoint team. We provide Microsoft 365 and SharePoint consulting, strategy, and resources that their team can tap into when needed. We bring proactive monitoring, world-class support, and custom development for digital workplaces through our Managed Service agreement. Klarinet Solutions will be there to support their ongoing digital workplace needs if this water district provider plans to create bigger projects, onboard more team members, or pivot in an entirely new direction.
