International Watch Co. (IWC) had an existing on-premise SharePoint intranet which had fallen out of favour with the organisation. Their current intranet was originally heavily customised to enable a feature-rich user experience, however over time it had become more and more complex to support and maintain. Knowledge from development team wasn't effectively being shared and communicated and the intranet was no longer the first point-of-call for employees as a functional resource and information centre, IWC had envisioned it would be.

As IWC transitioned their employees into Office 365, the opportunity presented itself for an out-of-the-box intranet. This came at the perfect time and was desirable for the business given it would be feature rich, functional, easy to use and built on top of SharePoint. OneSpace was the product of choice as it could provide all these options whilst being customisable and flexible enough to provide rich corporate branding.

OneSpace allowed IWC to create a centralised hub of information and knowledge, with a beautiful custom design to reflect their own unique corporate brand. 

The results using OneSpace

IWC have successfully transitioned from an out-of-date intranet to a centralised employee hub that will never go out of date. The OneSpace intranet site looks and feels just like their corporate brand and has functionality to meet all their specific requirements, leveraging off the unparalleled out-of-the-box features and Microsoft Office 365 platform.

Taking advantage of the move to a cloud-based platform at the same time as employees were moved across to Office 365 allowed IWC to gain a high adoption level and generate excitement among staff. They have significantly improved productivity and lowered costs due to the saved resources and time employees were spending searching for relevant and up-to-date information. It's now all at their fingertips as they can connect from anywhere to get the product knowledge, answers and access to the right people and the right time.
