ABOUT THE COMPANY
A global provider of home furnishing products needed to make sure that the right people had access to the right information, at the right time.

WHAT COMPANY NEEDED
Rapid growth and international expansion had created a sprawling intranet with disconnected islands of information. People were finding it hard to shift through a mass of material to find what they needed to do their jobs.

THE CHALLENGE
Making information more relevant was a big task. Different people had different needs, depending on which function they worked in. “Trying to meet these differing needs had led to a very complex matrix of 120 different intranets and over 300,000 documents. Trying to manage lots of different versions and formats wasted a lot of time for a lot of people,” says the company’s Intranet Programme Manager.

OUR ANSWER
We built the platform for the new intranet using Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007. It offers the best of both worlds – centralised content creation combined with intelligent content distribution. The old site had been built around the needs of information providers, but we created the new one around what users needed to do their work.

WHY WORK WITH LOGICA?
Our teams bring together a heady mix of technical skill and business expertise. To help keep a check on costs we can blend experienced client-facing project staff in Europe and our back-end system development teams based in India. But more than this, we listen closely to what our customers need and work with them to create innovative solutions that work for them.
