FAQs
Explore common questions about SharePoint intranet solutions, from strategy and design to deployment, adoption, and beyond.
What is a SharePoint intranet solution and how can it support my organisation?
A SharePoint intranet solution is a tailored digital workplace built on Microsoft 365 tools like SharePoint Online, Viva, and Teams. It enables employees to collaborate, access information, and engage with internal communications — all in one central, secure platform. A well-designed intranet boosts productivity, encourages engagement, and supports business-wide alignment.
At Silicon Reef, we deliver SharePoint solutions that go beyond technology — combining user-centred design, strategic planning, and scalable architecture for long-term success.
How do you approach the planning and strategy phase of an intranet project?
A successful intranet begins with a clear understanding of your organisation’s goals, user needs, and technical landscape. During the strategy and discovery phase, we lead workshops with teams across IT, HR, and Comms to define objectives, prioritise features, and align outcomes with business value.
Silicon Reef’s discovery process includes roadmap creation, governance planning, and measurable KPIs — as seen in our work with clients like Elsevier.
Can the intranet design be customised to reflect our brand and support accessibility?
Yes. SharePoint intranet design is fully customisable to match your visual identity and user needs. From branded layouts and scalable hub sites to WCAG-compliant design patterns, your intranet can be as unique as your organisation.
Silicon Reef designs every solution with accessibility and user experience in mind. Our work with Huhtamaki, for example, included regionally validated designs and layouts aligned to WCAG 2.0 AA/AAA standards.
What kind of Microsoft 365 tools and integrations can be included in a SharePoint intranet?
Your SharePoint intranet can integrate with tools across Microsoft 365, including Viva Connections, Viva Engage, Teams, Power Automate, and more. These integrations streamline communication, automate tasks, and surface relevant content to different user groups.
We enhance these capabilities using our own tools — like Beacon for personalisation, MyTools for role-based access, and Ripple for feedback — as part of Silicon Reef’s modern intranet framework.
How do you ensure people actually use and benefit from the new intranet?
Adoption is key to intranet success. That’s why change management, training, and engagement strategies are baked into every project. This includes role-based training, comms toolkits, and usage analytics to monitor uptake and drive improvements.
Silicon Reef supports adoption with hands-on guidance and tools like Viva Insights and App Clarity. For clients like Elsevier, we’ve helped embed long-term value through data-led iteration and continuous support.
