Intranet Augmenter
by Forefront Consulting Group
Microsoft 365 & Viva is great as a foundation for a intranet, Augment it even further with us
Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Viva is the foundation for a modern intranet maximizing your existing investment. But even a good foundation needs to be augmented with features to make the experience great. We have been using the modern intranet provided by Microsoft for a long time and know what’s missing and how to complete the story
Why
An intranet based on Microsoft 365 is made up by many different sites and its hard to make them fit together with a common official look and feel. Its also challenging for editors to reach out to the correct audience and follow up on and govern content.
Some common challenges solved by Augmenter
Out of the box
Augmenter doesn’t change the standard experience of Microsoft Viva. It guides the administrators and editors to follow best practices and enable them to maintain a coherent intranet.
Augmenter can be removed, and the Microsoft Viva intranet will still operate as it should.
Helping administrators
Build an information architecture collecting the existing sites used by your organization via Yammer and Teams and compile a complete intranet using them. Make sure the look and feel, navigation and templates are provisioned everywhere. Use the validate function to make sure all settings are configured according to best practices. Hubs, official news sources and other features are now accessible.
Helping editors
The
target audience is having a conversation in a digital channel somewhere, this
channel has a connected SharePoint site that is most likely also their landing
page. Augmenter provides an editorial pipeline connecting all those sites and
makes it easy to create news for the select audience while making sure it gets
tagged correctly, shared to Yammer and commented in Yammer. In this editorial
pipeline the editor also can follow up on statistics.
Helping users
Onboard new users, help them join the correct audience and find relevant content
