A Fresh approach for a modern intranet
We’ve partnered with Fresh to create attractive, world-class intranets that are easy to design and build. Residing in SharePoint, you can bring your Microsoft 365 channels together to form a one-stop shop for company news, employee collaboration and business-critical info that everyone needs to access.
It lets you keep the fun stuff and the important stuff all in one place, making it easier for your people to engage with and simpler for you to disseminate – two of the most important elements to consider when deciding how to build an intranet.
With Fresh you get more than just a new intranet. You’re gaining a strategic partner, backed by decades of experience and with clients all over the world, to create an engaging and successful intranet.

A modern intranet is more than just a communications portal. It helps to connect everyone across your organisation and is a great tool for knowledge sharing and collaboration.
So that you can obtain the maximum value from your intranet, we have created some add-on packages to take your experience to the next level.
Viva Topics FastStart
Our FastStart service will help you get up and running quickly and methodically. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for your people to find information and put that knowledge to work. We’ll make sure you understand your intranet’s content, utilising Topics to automatically organise the resources and expertise from across your organisation.
Findability (Search)
Does your intranet feel out of date, with duplicated content and unused features? We can review usage, including failed searches, key tools and policies and information architecture setup. We’ll also recommend improvements to the user experience through Microsoft search and a custom search page.
Fresh Intranet Topics Explorer (Fresh only)
Improve efficiency and ease for your users with Fresh Intranet Topics Explorer. We’ll show you how to improve your intranet structure, effectively manage Fresh Topics and get the most value from your investment
Intranet governance
A well-considered governance framework is crucial but often overlooked when considering how to build an intranet. We will help formulate and implement a governance strategy which aligns with how you work as a business, improves ways of working and user experience, encourages consistency, and reduces shadow IT.
Multilingual intranet
Supporting a diverse, global organisation can be complex, expensive and admin-heavy. Getting the most from Microsoft 365 can also be challenging across multiple geographies. With vast experience with global clients, we’ll guide you through to deliver a multilingual collaboration platform.
Empower front-line workers
Viva Connections gives your front-line workers all they need to be their best. Microsoft Teams is the gateway to your digital workplace, centralising key organisational content and promoting collaboration and personalisation. We can help you understand and map your target audiences to ensure that content is delivered in the most effective way possible.
Additional training and launch support
Take your adoption further by engaging with the wider business and benefiting from the training we offer, which is included in all of our packages.
Throughout the process and once you’re up and running, your people need to be prepared, involved, and invested in all you do. We’ll work with you to maximise value from your investments with a structured approach to preparation, user adoption and deployment.
