Having thousands of nurses and other employees spread across the country, the client needed to provide reliable, instant access to its extensive reference library and employee documents.
The firm wished to track how documents are being accessed to better manage its document library.
To assist employees in finding relevant information as quickly as possible, the company needed to incorporate new search capabilities within a new, dynamic User Interface.
Solution
Brainspire worked with the client to migrate its existing SharePoint installation to a newer version while reducing migration costs.
Taking full advantage of the new features introduced in this new version of the software, Brainspire created a new Intranet homepage with the dynamic User Interface elements that modern web users have come to expect.
New SharePoint features, such as polls, blogs, news stories and events, were implemented to increase employee’s engagement with this Intranet portal.
To assist employees in searching the company’s vast reference library, new content search capabilities were added to the portal.
Employee search capabilities, built upon the firm’s current Active Directory infrastructure, were also incorporated into the new version of the Intranet homepage.
Content reuse capabilities were also provided to reduce the time required to maintain such a large site. Brainspire staff provided onsite training sessions to client staff, which were recorded and transcribed for future reference, to ensure a smooth transfer of knowledge.
Benefits
The client has an upgraded Intranet portal that provides new opportunities for interaction with its employees as well as expanded content and employee search capabilities.
Migration costs were kept to a minimum by building upon the client’s existing infrastructure and document library.
Improved analytics allow the client to better tailor its electronic references to the needs of its personnel.
