A benchmark that sets the bar

About ClearBox

ClearBox Consulting is an independent digital workplace advisory firm, based in the UK and active worldwide. Their reports are known for one thing: neutrality. No sponsored rankings and no marketing bias. Just deep, structured analysis of the intranet market.

Historically focused on SharePoint-based solutions, ClearBox awarded Powell SharePoint Intranet Solution of Choice in Europe and North America back in 2020.

As the market evolved, so did their scope. Since 2022, the report covers everything from “intranet-in-a-box” platforms to full employee experience ecosystems. Being featured once again this year shows that we, Powell continue to meet modern workplace expectations across industries, sizes, and regions.

 

Why Powell stands out

ClearBox positions Powell as a powerful top-layer for Microsoft 365. Built on SharePoint, Powell enhances what already exists instead of replacing it – adding structure, clarity, and experience where native tools reach their limits. What does that mean in practice:

  • Immediate impact through ready-to-use templates and modules which include crisis communication, communities, desk booking, ideation, gamification, and more. You launch fast, with real use cases from day one.
  • Full customization, scalable governance, and the ability to manage complex intranet environments without chaos. Powell brings order without slowing teams down.

ClearBox also highlights our commitment to Agentic AI. With features already available and others on the roadmap, Powell helps employees:

  • find the right information,
  • navigate their digital workplace,
  • get real assistance in their daily work.

Our ambition is simple: make the intranet work for people, not the other way around.
