What we found
As you know, Microsoft Teams is an excellent platform to communicate and share documents but it requires support for users to help them find relevant information and create new Teams in an optimized way.
Without proper governance, there’s a risk in distracting the end-user from an essential productivity tool.
At the same time, Human Resources and Internal Communications teams have heavily invested in the deployment of intranets. Intranets, which have often transformed into Digital Workplaces, are used to share corporate knowledge and access to the latest information. These teams need to protect and amplify their investment by proposing a way to consume content, regardless of where the final user finds it.
What companies are asking us
Many organizations are in the process of putting in place new ways of working, like hybrid and full remote. This is encouraging them to go further in developing collective knowledge management, continuous teamwork, digitized processes like hot-desking, and integration of remote collaborators.
The opportunity is therefore to increase productivity and agility based on solutions already deployed in a company committed to connecting its employees.

Brand & Communications Manager
Yvonne Harris is the Brand and Communications Manager at Powell, where she spends her days proving that a corporate intranet doesn’t have to look - or feel - like a relic from 1998. With over seven years of experience scaling B2B SaaS brands across Ireland and France, she specializes in turning "boring" workplace tech into human-centric stories. Based in Paris, Yvonne is a self-appointed detective of "brand crimes" and a firm believer that internal communication is a company’s greatest competitive advantage. When she isn’t leading global campaigns, she’s likely advocating for the "intranet glow-up" your employees actually deserve.
