What services our intranet consulting includes
SHAREPOINT SETUP
Let’s say, to begin with you buy your staff new Microsoft 365 licences and you find yourself buried in new products and features. Moreover, for each of the tools in the 365 suite, the configuration options are endless and SharePoint is no exception. This is where a SharePoint development company comes in! Your SharePoint tenant will need to be setup correctly in order to avoid security, compliance and user experience nightmares further down the road.
USER ADOPTION
Through many years of intranet consulting we have found that most companies struggle with user adoption. Not only getting their staff to engage with the platform, but to keep them actively collaborating can be hard. However, with our intranet consultancy service, our SharePoint development company provide the training and resources to encourage users to embrace SharePoint.
ACCESSIBILITY IMPROVEMENTS
It’s important to realize that with the inclusion of Microsoft Teams to the Microsoft suite, it is now the go-to place for internal comms. So it would only make sense to use this as the access point for your intranet. In that case, we can use Microsoft Viva Connections. This will make your SharePoint intranet available through your browser, Teams, Mobile & tablet. Thus, creating the complete digital workplace.
CONSULTING SERVICES
Obviously, intranet consulting is a huge part of our business. Firstly, we can get you setup and we can get your users using the platform, then we need to keep it that way. Further to this, our intranet consultants can provide in-house or remote SharePoint intranet development for your business. Ultimately, providing ongoing support to keep your staff engaged.

As a result, your business processes will flow seamlessly between all your Microsoft 365 apps. With this in mind, our SharePoint development agency use Power Automate to unite the apps in your organisation. By and large, we use powerful workflows to pass data between them and automate many of those everyday tasks.
CUSTOM REPORTING

Let’s get your SharePoint intranet development started
So you’ve bought SharePoint licences for your entire team and want to roll out your intranet. From experience, our first piece of advise would be to get your setup correct… before it’s too late! As a result of poor setup, our SharePoint development consultants see a lot of clients that could have easily avoided their issues.
You can avoid this by applying the correct configuration, governance, and compliance, before rolling out to your staff. Once your staff start creating content, things can quickly get out of control. For this reason, problems can quickly appear, including bad user experience, hard to manage content and most importantly security issues. Proper SharePoint intranet development should include setting your tenant up correctly.Book a free intranet consultancy session to find out how to optimise your SharePoint integrations
Our SharePoint development company also offers, Custom built apps
Obviously, we believe that Microsoft offers a great tool in SharePoint. It is rich in features and services and has come a long way over the years. However, our job as a SharePoint development company, is to take what Microsoft has provided and tailor them to your specific business needs. We do this through building custom apps within SharePoint. These apps are built bespoke for each company. Also, by using our SharePoint development skills, we can integrate with other Microsoft products (like Power Automate and PowerBI), to provide a complete business solution.
Intranet Consulting focused on user experience
It’s important to realise that people respond to tools that look good, are slick, modern and simple to use. From years of providing intranet consultancy services, we believe this is what building a truly great tool comes down to. Specifically, a simplistic, modern design is what research shows us drives user engagement.
With this in mind, our SharePoint development agency prides itself on excellent, well thought out design. Our user experienced designers, are focussed on making sure the tools we build are as easy to use as possible. Furthermore, our SharePoint development company will take time provide an experience based on your specific companies needs.Including the entire Microsoft family in your SharePoint intranet development
Your SharePoint intranet is just the start! Microsoft 365 is the full suite of tools that will complete your digital workplace. These tools are designed to work in unison with each other, to help get the most out of your company intranet and beyond. Our SharePoint development company can provide this.
POWER AUTOMATE
All companies have those mundane, repetitive tasks they have to complete on a daily, or weekly basis. The time it takes for staff to complete these tasks adds up (often costing a fortune), not to mention the risk of human error involved. Power Automate is Microsoft’s digital solution. It is a way to automate these business processes, giving your staff time to focus on more important tasks.
POWERBI
One of the most important assets for each company is its data. Crucial information every company has built up since its launch and stored for later use. Crucial insights on staff, customers and a companies past and future can be provided using this data. However, this data is often hidden, deep within files systems. PowerBI is a reporting tool that surfaces a companies data in easy to understand and visual dashboards. Giving analytics and insights into your companies data.
POWERAPPS
With Microsoft PowerApps, everyone can be a developer. It is what Microsoft describes as a ‘low-code’ solution, which basically gives everyone the power to build custom apps, without having to write much code. These apps can be used across mobile, desktop and tablet devices and can be accessed through platforms like SharePoint and Teams.
TEAMS
Microsoft Teams has very quickly become the backbone of the Microsoft 365 family. With the shift to remote and flexible working and a need to centralise the M365 suite, Teams has become the interface for most of the tools. As most companies now Microsoft Teams for their internal chats and meetings and most staff have the app open most of the day, it seems the logical place for people to access files, the intranet, and other tools.
YAMMER
Think ‘Facebook for your business’, Yammer is Microsoft’s social media offering. Providing a way for employees to be social, share, post and create communities. This platform can be used as a standalone app, or integrated with SharePoint and Teams.
OUTLOOK
The default email provider for most companies, we are going to assume that you know what Outlook does. The great thing about Outlook being part of the Microsoft 365 suite, is the fact that you can integrate you emails with the other apps. Whether it’s automating the sending of regular emails with Power Automate, or easily sharing files with proper security access granted through SharePoint. Outlooks is a great addition to the suite.
