Global intranets

Global intranets, managed centrally and relevant locally.

We build multilingual intranets in SharePoint, Omnia or Involv for organisations with teams spread across several countries. News is targeted by region, content is available in each team's language, and governance keeps everything consistent and compliant.

What we do

Choose the platform, we build the global intranet.

We work across three intranet platforms and recommend the one that fits your organisation: SharePoint if you want to stay close to Microsoft 365, Involv for an intranet in a box with a lot included, or Omnia for enterprise governance and targeting.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Which platform is best for a global intranet?

It depends on your organisation. SharePoint suits Microsoft 365 users who want easy integrations, Involv is an intranet in a box with rich features, and Omnia offers enterprise governance. We recommend one after discovery.

Can a global intranet support multiple languages?

Yes. Omnia and Involv offer language switching and localisation, and SharePoint works with Microsoft Translator for dynamic content translation.

How much does a global intranet cost?

An out of the box SharePoint intranet with a design-led approach and a training session starts at £12,500 for up to 100 users and £17,500 for up to 500 users. Above 500 users we quote based on your requirements.

How do you keep a global intranet compliant?

Role-based access, audit trails and GDPR-ready governance tools help maintain control across regions, and we set up content ownership so quality holds up after launch.
