Office 365 Intranet Quick Start

Our Office 365 Intranet Quick Start service was designed to create a modern digital workplace for your team. We take the guess work out of where to get started. Often, in less than a week, your SharePoint intranet will be configured and ready to provide access to the features offered by SharePoint Online and integrates directly with other Office 365 tools.

Need something more complex? Our SharePoint Deployment Planning Services offers a comprehensive approach.

Why an Office 365 Intranet?

The features and functionality of SharePoint and Office 365 are designed to drive employee engagement. Strong engagement starts with your team’s user experience. Office 365 provides a seamless experience across apps, across browsers, and across devices. Utilizing Office 365 as your intranet portal gives your team access to all of their information from anywhere through a browser or the SharePoint mobile app.

Today, a corporate intranet must improve your team’s ability to collaborate, communicate, automate and engage. Not all intranet platforms provide these key components in one easy to use package. After establishing your intranet, you can expand to other apps including Microsoft Teams, PowerApps, Flow, OneDrive for Business and Power BI.

What’s included in Office 365 Quick Start?

We find that many intranet projects fail because it’s hard to know where to start. What structure do I start with, which can grow with my organization? How do I configure security? How do I promote news across my organization?

Intranet Quick Start gives you that starting place. We’ve incorporated key elements most requested by organizations.

SharePoint Online Theme

Office 365 Branding

SharePoint Online Theme

With Office 365 branding in place, we turn our attention to SharePoint. Using Microsoft’s newest site theming options, we will use the primary color from your branding guidelines – or any color of your choosing – to create a SharePoint Online theme. This will ensure your intranet has the same look and feel as your Office 365 tenant. The theme is reusable and will be available for future sites.

Modern SharePoint Homepage

Incorporating Microsoft’s latest offering, you’ll have the opportunity to choose the template you prefer for your site from the SharePoint Online Provisioning Service templates. Your new modern homepage will come populated with a set of the most requested web parts.

News

Promote the news that matters most to your employees. The ability to easily add text, images, videos, links and more offers the opportunity to deliver the message in style without requiring a special skill set or training.

Calendar

Communicate upcoming events, training, holidays and more. With the Corporate Events Calendar, users can add events that are important to them directly to their own Exchange calendar in Outlook.

Quick Links

Quickly and efficiently accessing important sites, business applications, and content is key to user adoption and a successful intranet. With Quick Links, users won’t waste time searching for what is important to them.

Hub Site Collaboration with SharePoint Team Sites

Your Hub site will serve as a collaborative tool for your departments or key functions. It will provide a secure area for that team’s members to collaborate while providing document management, content management, task tracking and more.

Employee Directory Built on SharePoint Search

Help your team find each other. Provide the ability to easily find and connect with the people and skills they need to complete their work more quickly and efficiently. Filter by name, department or job title. Access each user’s Delve profile with a single click.

SharePoint Permissions Configuration

Securing your SharePoint Intranet is critical. We will work with you to educate you on how permissions work and help populate your default SharePoint security groups – your site Owners, Members and Visitors.

Time with a Consultant

Everyone’s business and needs are unique. While the Intranet Quick Start is designed to be a generic framework that fits all organizations, we understand there will be unique questions. We’ve built-in 4-hours of consulting time with one of our team members. Get answers to questions, discuss strategies or get additional post-build training.

Want more than 4 hours? We have a variety of options including our Pay-As-You-Go Consulting or Microsoft Professional Support Services.
