The digital workplace has become so complex that only few organizations choose to build their intranet on their own. Today people tend to look for ready-to-go solutions to improve communication, knowledge sharing and productivity within the organization. Why people worldwide choose Involv as their ready-to-go intranet? We asked them and share a top 10 of the most heard answers with you.
1. Get people Involved
Offering your employees the tools to share knowledge, create content and collaborate on its own is not enough. A good intranet stimulates them to get involved.
In the past, information was pushed ‘top-down’ through the organization but we have seen a great shift in the last decade. Today it’s interaction that creates the most added value. There is communication within teams, between different departments and offices, fróm the management but also tó the management. People share their knowledge, inform about the projects they are working on and enter into dialogue with coworkers.
Ease and simplicity are the key to success. Involv makes it easy for people to create content, react and share. Communication is also stimulated by the integration of instant-messaging and live streams from twitter. The result is a higher employee engagement but above all: a better work atmosphere and improved company culture.
2. Focus on what’s important
For every task you’re performing on a daily basis, you will no doubt find a tool that can simplify or speed up that task. The real challenge is not finding those solutions, but creating a manageable package that connects seamlessly and is future proof.
Before we created Involv, we were involved in projects to improve collaboration within organizations for more than 10 years. That experience learned us that, even though each organization is unique, the basics of a succesful intranet and extranet are always the same. That’s why we chose to build Involv as a ready-to-go solution on the SharePoint and Office 365 ecosystem. Involv integrates with all the Office 365 solutions your employees are already using today and will keep using in the future. Tools such as Office 365 Groups, OneDrive, PowerBI, Video, Yammer and Delve. Your users don’t need to switch between different applications, as they have access to 1 centralized digital workplace.
On top of that we integrated some useful applications such as apps to request and manage expenses, time-off requests and lunch orders. We’re continuously listening to feedback from our users and that’s why we’re adding new, relevant features on a regular basis. Don’t worry if you think this will clutter your intranet; the drag and drop interface lets you select and organize the components as you like.
3. Stress-free and fast deploy
Involv installs in just a few simple steps on your Office 365 tenant. Stress-free, that’s our promise.
What you see is what you get: a ready-to-go environment in which you can start adding content from day 1. Our simple configurator will guide you through the steps for setting up user rights and selecting your brand look. Then you can start to drag & drop the components to customize the interface to your needs.

Microsoft is always spending huge budgets on innovation. Think about the huge shift to the Office 365 ‘Modern experience’ in Office 365 SharePoint for example. Organizations that want to maximize the value of technology want to keep up with these innovations. But – we do understand that your main focus is with your core business. That’s why our software assurance makes sure you get immediate access to the updates from Microsoft and Involv.
