Why Small Businesses Are Adding Intranets To Collaborate With Teams In A Hybrid Workplace

Productivity, collaboration and connectivity are becoming major issues for SMBs as the Hybrid Workplace evolves.

Employee engagement ranks at the top of the list for digital workplace strategy according to nearly 50% of respondents recent survey conducted by Powell Software in conjunction with StitchDX

Workplace Exclusion Concerns:

“Furthermore, over 50% of remote workers are worried about workplace exclusion as more people work remotely or in a Hybrid way on a permanent basis,” explains Matthieu Silbermann, Powell Software’s Chief Product Officer.

Intranets Are the Answer:

Many small and medium size businesses are realizing that the best solution to resolve these and other hybrid headaches is to implement an Intranet.

No longer are Intranets just for big business or large networks. The biggest challenge for small business management is finding a turnkey, simple, all-in-one, cost-effective communications platform.

“All too often, workers end up drowning in a multitude of digital tools that leave IT teams frustrated by having to implement and manage different solutions to create or upgrade an effective Intranet,” explains Powell’s Silbermann.

Unified Communication System:

Turns out your firm may already be using software that is key to next generation integrated, interactive internal communication.

Chances are your firm’s workers either use or are familiar with Microsoft’s Teams. Worldwide more than 500,000 companies use Microsoft teams so that makes it the perfect resource to use in designing a modern Intranet for Hybrid Workplaces big and small.

Powell Software’s Silbermann explains that their newly launched solution Together provides a secure, all-in-one space that unites the next generation Intranet with Teams so that employees can find everything they need on one convenient platform.

And by “everything” Silbermann means even such innovations as a Virtual Coffee Machine and Water Fountain that allows remote, on-site and in-the-field workers and managers to meet virtually to build an engaging inclusive culture.

Scalable Solution In Minutes:

Because Together comes integrated with Teams, the scalable solution can be deployed in minutes to the entire organization.

Accessible from the Microsoft Teams application, a browser or a mobile device, the employer’s hub is always up-to-date and can be upgraded seamlessly to another version, as needed.

In addition, Together leverages Microsoft’s security to keep all data safe.
