SharePoint 2013 Intranet Implementation for Middleburg Bank
Content Migration Case Study [read more]
CA is one of the world's largest IT management software providers. Their software and expertise unify and simplify complex IT environments – in a secure way – across enterprises for greater business results. Founded in 1976, CA is a global company with headquarters in the United States and 150 offices in more than 45 countries. CA serves more than 99% of Fortune 1000® companies.
CA needed to create a unified intranet experience where employees around the world can easily find what they need.
As an IT industry leader, it is only logical that the company’s intranet site reflect this position. Due to technical and administrative restraints, CA’s intranet currently exists in different formats and presentations around the world. And while the home page and many of the main section landing pages have received a face lift in their look and feel in the past 12 months, once users are beyond the first levels of navigation their experience changed drastically.
There were a number of elements missing from the intranet; interactivity, multi-media, and collaboration. These elements, combined with the Knowledge Management team’s implementation of SharePoint across the enterprise as their KM tool, has the potential of turning the resource into a strong business tool that would more significantly contribute to CA’s overall business success.
CA Intranet’s primary challenges
A more effective intranet would support initiatives that advance the business’ goals and strategies, including cross-selling, knowledge-sharing across geographic regions and time zones, as well as being able to effectively introducing new offerings around the world.
Prescient worked with CA to align findings from the assessment phase with other related projects to implement a new intranet that offers employees what they need to be more effective and efficient.
Engaged at the outset for the assessment and planning phase, CA subsequently hired Prescient on to execute the evaluation and selection process for securing a new CMS solution for their intranet.
Engagement Summary
Phase 1
Phase 2
Prescient helped CA create a roadmap with the necessary element to create an engaging, globally accessed intranet site.
This two-phased project resulted in an internal transfer of intranet ownership within CA from the Marketing group to the Corporate Communications team. The new CA intranet is set for launch in late 2008.
The new global site will be built on a robust, user friendly CMS, and will provide employees with an enriched online environment through which they can access and share, in real time, information and resources that will support the maintenance of the current position as the world leader in professional.
