The policy repository had become a holding place for many documents that were not actual policies. Additionally, many of the company-wide policies were over five years old.Impact:InfoWorks oversaw the overhaul of the policy governance process. The team assisted in standardizing the company-wide policies and eliminating documents that were not considered policy.

The team created and implemented a workflow to manage future policies and keep current policies up to date. The team also helped establish a committee to oversee policy governance going forward. The new and improved policy repository increased the number of unique users to 1500 from 30 in the first month and increased the internal click-through rate up 50% from average internal email communication.Solution:Process and Workflow ImprovementMultinational Construction Materials ManufacturerSituation:With an outdated SharePoint platform, client struggled with document exchange and collaboration as well as corporate communications and employee engagement.Impact:InfoWorks facilitated the migration of the client SharePoint platform to Office 365 as well as designed, built, and implemented a new SharePoint intranet home page.
