Futurecom: New Geberit Intranet
Futurecom and Wunderman PXP are implementing a contemporary and personalized communication and collaboration platform with portal character for Geberit based on Sharepoint Online.
As part of the strategic focus on cloud services, the old Geberit intranet was to be transferred to the cloud with a new portal based on Sharepoint Online. In addition, the acquisition of the Sanitec Group meant that the existing Geberit intranet had to be replaced along with that of the Sanitec Group. The new Geberit intranet is intended to be a personalized information, collaboration and exchange platform for all employees worldwide. Particularly during the Sanitec integration phase, the new, shared intranet is intended to promote identification with the company. In the long term, the portal should help to increase efficiency.
After a comprehensive needs and situation analysis, Futurecom and Wunderman PXP developed a detailed concept with the requirements for the new intranet. Based on this, Futurecom developed the design in iteration steps. The responsive design allows employees to access all content on the intranet, regardless of whether they are accessing the content on a mobile device or a computer. The development of the portal solution was implemented using agile project methodology in close collaboration with Wunderman PXP and the Geberit project team.
With the new solution, Geberit Corporate Communication has a modern intranet in responsive design and delivers personalized content for its approximately 12'000 employees. Through SharePoint Online, the solution fits seamlessly into Geberit's Office 365 strategy. After the release in November 2015, the services will be continuously expanded to realize a complete integration of all work areas (e-mail, calendar and collaboration tools).
