Global intranet solutions
One intranet for every country you work in.
We design and deploy multilingual SharePoint intranets for multinational organisations, with a global home site for company news and regional hubs for local content. Local teams manage their own news and pages while the brand, permissions and compliance stay consistent everywhere.
What we do
Everything a multinational intranet needs.
Rolling an intranet out across several countries brings languages, time zones, regional compliance and different levels of digital maturity into the same project. We cover the architecture, the platform and the governance, and link up with the services below where you need them.
Global intranets
Our main global intranet service, built in SharePoint, Omnia or Involv depending on what suits your organisation.
Sovereign intranets
Where data residency is the driving requirement, a sovereign intranet goes further than Multi-Geo alone.
Omnia intranets
A branded intranet on SharePoint with strong targeting and multilingual publishing, suited to large organisations.
SharePoint governance
Tiered permissions, approval workflows and retention policies that satisfy corporate standards and regional rules.
Viva Engage
Communities and conversations that connect colleagues across offices and countries, alongside the intranet.
Viva Connections
Intranet access for frontline workers on mobile and shared devices, wherever they are based.

How we work
How a global intranet project runs.
01
Discovery
Interviews with stakeholders across your regions to map communication flows, content ownership and governance requirements, including data residency.
02
Design
A hub and spoke architecture with a global home site and regional hubs, plus language-specific navigation and a permission model every region inherits.
03
Build
We build the global hub and a pilot region first, set up translation workflows (human, AI-assisted or both) and automated site provisioning for new offices.
04
Train
Each region gets its own content editors, and we train them on publishing news, translations and events within the global framework.
05
Go live
Launch the global hub and pilot region, then roll out the remaining regions in phases, typically 2 to 4 weeks each.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does a global intranet rollout take?
A typical phased rollout takes 8 to 16 weeks: 4 to 6 weeks for the global hub and pilot region, then 2 to 4 weeks for each additional region.
Can we keep regional intranets and add a global layer?
Yes. Regional hub sites can aggregate local news, policies and resources while rolling up to a single global home site, so regions keep their autonomy within one structure.
How do you handle data residency?
Microsoft 365 Multi-Geo lets you hold data in specific regions, and we configure it alongside the intranet architecture to meet GDPR and the other residency rules you work to. Where residency is the main requirement, our sovereign intranet approach goes further.
How do you handle translation?
SharePoint's multilingual pages let you publish translated versions that route by browser language. We set up the translation workflow you prefer, whether human, AI-assisted or a mix of both.
