Powell Software marks 1st year at International Status with the Powell 365 digital workplace
Last month marked the end of our first year being an official international company! Since we started this adventure, Powell Software has reached new heights in the global market and we are continuing to grow each day. Our goal has always been to reinvent communication and collaboration through technology and thanks to the Powell 365 digital workplace, it has never been easier to build a digital workplace.
Your Office 365 Intranet
Powell 365 is a ready-made digital workplace that is built on top of the Microsoft Office 365 collaborative suite and focuses mainly on end user needs. Our tool helps companies take advantage of their Office 365 tenant by providing a compelling and user friendly way for employees to communicate and collaborate.
“We were looking for a simple, ergonomic, quick to deploy solution that evolves over time,” said Sandrine Catonné, Director of the Research & Knowledge Center at Wavestone. “What attracted us: the possibility to overcome the complexity of the Office 365 suite and focus on the uses and features.”
Powell 365 intranet solutions unify all Office 365 features into one simple and attractive digital workplace. It started with SharePoint but today we offer the full range of Office 365 features and more. Everything from SharePoint, Groups, Yammer, Office video, PowerBI, Outlook, Skype online, Dynamics CRMOL and Delve are all brought together and available within Powell 365 intranet solutions. Powell 365 reformats these features and therefore significantly boosts Office 365 usage. One month after implementation our clients see Office 365 usage jump to 90% on average.
“Powell lets you benefit from a fully integrated and rich experience of Office 365. Your users will simply love it,” said Alexandre Cipriani, Product Marketing Manager Office 365 EPG commercial at Microsoft France. It is very simple and quick to deploy your own customized Powell 365 portal onto your companies Office 365 tenant. Today, we can deploy a completely customized collaborative and social platform in as little as two to four weeks, thanks to our state of the art portal designer.

With this tool, you can pick and choose between all the different Office 365 features and other web parts such as Facebook or Maps, that you want to include in your portal. Powell 365 provides ready to use web templates as well as a plethora of web parts and external connectors, so that you don’t have to start from scratch. Format your templates and customize your very own portal aligned to your company.
“With the move to SharePoint Online and Office 365, organizations that relied on the dev/test/production environments to safely release customizations are now faced with the challenge of how to replicate that system in the cloud”, explains Kelly Edinger, Director, Solutions Delivery director at Amaxra. “With Powell Manager, organizations can manage the three environments by quickly replicating all customizations, hierarchy, taxonomy and navigation across Site Collections.”
This dynamic designer accelerates and simplifies the deployment of your intranet solutions.
