FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
What is an Azure intranet?
A cloud intranet built on Microsoft infrastructure that works with the Microsoft 365 tools you already use, including Teams, SharePoint, Outlook and Viva. It gives your people one place for news, tools and documents with enterprise security controls such as MFA.
Is an Azure intranet suitable for regulated organisations?
Yes. It is designed to meet compliance standards in regulated industries, and where data residency is the main concern we also offer a sovereign intranet hosted within your region.
Can content be targeted to different groups of staff?
Yes. News, tools and updates can be targeted by role, location or department, so people see what is relevant to them rather than everything at once.
What happens after the intranet launches?
We provide training, analytics and ongoing support, and use the usage data to recommend changes that improve adoption over time.
