“We introduced a ‘Think Ahead’ tagline, as there was an important need to ensure our external and internal communications were aligned. To support this vision, we added some benefits and functionality to Arthur’s homepage. A carousel at the top keeps strategic news pieces up for longer, and a portlet allows a quick click through to our Strategy to 2020.”
“Sharepoint is not an intranet. While you can try to make it an intranet, each major update will break your templates. It is not worth the trouble."
“We outgrew our existing intranet. We pride ourselves on delivering excellence in everything, but our ability to share resources and communicate broadly within the firm was falling behind. We needed an intranet that would work for our needs today and into the future."
"Our intranet, infoDavies, gives us instant access to regularly updated documents like legal precedents without having to dig through multiple systems and thanks to the intranet search functionality, users can find this information quickly. The ongoing engagement of real time comments on documentation has proven to be valuable. For example, many of our lawyers within their practice group pages are posting shout-outs/comments on specific precedents for the benefit of future users."
“To ensure high adoption, we offered training workshops, ran several educational campaigns, and designed additional resources and collateral. We also had early adopters that doubled as super-users."
“I would describe our roll-out as flawless. Our deployment of ThoughtFarmer was one of those rare IT projects where the technology worked as expected and the project was delivered on-time and on budget.”
“We were really looking for a vendor that gave us everything and that checked all the boxes we needed to accomplish our goals."
"You guys were wonderful, absolutely wonderful! We could not have pulled this off without all of you and your patience. I learned a lot from all of you and things I have implemented in my daily project life. Just to name a few the importance of identifying a well defined project, time lines, accountability and responsibility. The most important piece, communication that is clear. You guys are amazing and I am forever grateful for our success with this project."
“ThoughtFarmer intranet is intuitive, customizable, easy to use and has tons of helpful functionality."
"When I started using ThoughtFarmer I was super nervous, but it is so intuitive, and it makes so much sense.”
“It was becoming obvious that we needed a centralized source for all employees to access consistent information and resources throughout the organization."
“We ran several games to help our employees navigate the new intranet. We send reminder emails, to encourage individuals to go for up-to-date news, information and promotions."
“It was important for us to have a space for disseminating communications, connecting people, and collaborating."
“I’m seeing the change happen even faster than anticipated. We have news going up constantly — every month we have 12 to 20 news articles posted. People are really excited about having that constant information flow. We never had this before.”
“Literally, before they start on day one, they have an account. It’s the key to success. Eliminate those types of barriers."
