Every successful intranet starts with understanding. Through discovery workshops and stakeholder engagement, we get under the skin of your organisation — aligning deployment with your goals, challenges, and culture. We involve voices from IT, internal comms, accessibility, and beyond to shape a strategy that’s fit for now and ready for the future.Â
Our technical specialists build intranets that are secure, scalable, and rooted in best practice. Using Microsoft 365 and Azure, we combine SharePoint’s native strengths with custom enhancements — including our own Beacon framework — for personalisation and intuitive news delivery. Whether you’re deploying to 250 or 95,000+ users, we build for performance and long-term value.Â
We help you cut through the noise. From auditing legacy content to defining a clear taxonomy and tagging strategy, we make sure only the right content makes the move. Our team supports multilingual needs and content governance from day one, making it easy for users to find what they need — fast.Â
Accessibility isn’t an afterthought — it’s a design principle we encourage from the start. We provide clear guidance and best practices to help you embed accessibility into your intranet design. Our support empowers teams to make inclusive choices that align with WCAG 2.2 AA/AAA standards, in collaboration with your internal accessibility and inclusion networks
A successful launch is just the start. We offer tailored onboarding, live and recorded training sessions, and flexible support tiers — from everyday guidance to critical escalations with Microsoft. You’ll have peace of mind that your team can manage, evolve, and optimise your intranet long after go-live.

FAQs
Find answers to common questions about planning, migration, accessibility, and ongoing support.
What does a successful SharePoint intranet deployment involve?
A successful deployment starts with deep understanding through discovery workshops involving stakeholders across IT, communications, and accessibility. This ensures your intranet aligns with business goals, culture, and user needs. Silicon Reef combines this strategic planning with expert technical build, migration support, and accessibility compliance to deliver a solution that works seamlessly from day one.
How does Silicon Reef handle content migration and governance?
Migrating content can be complex. We help audit existing materials, define clear taxonomy and tagging strategies, and decide what should move to the new intranet. Governance and multilingual needs are built into the process from the start, ensuring users can quickly find relevant content. Our migration approach reduces clutter and improves searchability, making the transition smoother.
What accessibility standards are followed in SharePoint intranet deployments?
Accessibility is integral, not optional. Silicon Reef embeds WCAG 2.2 AA/AAA compliance throughout design and build, collaborating closely with your internal accessibility teams. We provide guidance and tools that empower content creators to maintain inclusivity, ensuring your intranet serves all employees effectively and meets enterprise compliance standards.
Can the SharePoint intranet deployment scale to large organisations or global teams?
Absolutely. Whether deploying for 250 users or 95,000+, Silicon Reef builds intranets designed for performance and scale. Our technical architecture combines SharePoint Online, Microsoft 365, Azure, and our Beacon framework for personalisation and intuitive news delivery, supporting hybrid work models and global collaboration seamlessly.
How does Silicon Reef support training and ongoing intranet management?
Launching the intranet is just the beginning. We offer tailored onboarding, live and recorded training, and tiered support — including critical Microsoft escalations. This comprehensive approach helps your team manage, evolve, and optimise the intranet long term, so you get sustained value from your investment.
