With little communication and collaboration between employees across various tools, TDCSS felt that the Office 365 Suite was too broad of a tool for employees to utilize effectively, and that they were not getting the most value from their license. After doing their due diligence and reviewing the many intranet products that are available from around the world, TDCSS decided upon Powell 365 as the tool that would develop their digital workplace into a pillar of their success.
