Leaders Trust Silicon Reef
See What’s Possible with a SharePoint Intranet
Most organisations only scratch the surface of what’s possible with SharePoint. Our no-cost Art of the Possible session showcases how SharePoint, Viva, Copilot and Microsoft 365 can come together to create a connected employee experience that transforms communication, collaboration and productivity.
Our People-First Approach
The most successful SharePoint intranets are built around the people who use them every day.
We combine employee insight, internal communications expertise and deep Microsoft 365 knowledge to create intranets that make it easier for people to find information, access tools and stay connected to the organisation.
Employee-Focused Discovery
We start by understanding how employees work, communicate and access information, using workshops, research and stakeholder engagement to uncover real challenges, needs and opportunities.
Built Around Real User Journeys
From finding policies and accessing business tools to staying up to date with company news, we structure intranets around the tasks employees complete every day, making information easier to find and use.
Co-Created with Your People
We work closely with employees and stakeholders throughout the project, using feedback, testing and iteration to ensure the final intranet reflects the needs of the people it was built for.
“Our new intranet is essential to the University’s strategy, our community and our progression. For the first time, staff have a dedicated channel of news and information.
It was a pleasure to work with Silicon Reef. To have their knowledge and expertise in developing a user-centred intranet using SharePoint was critical to our success. Embedding Silicon Reef’s Beacon software to lift the out-of-the-box features and the My Tools app to give users a choice of business applications to choose from have been an unexpected and very welcome bonus.”
A Copilot Agent with Every Intranet
AI is so much more than drafting content or summarising meeting notes. We’re confident that, done well, AI agents can fundamentally change how you build – and how employees use – your intranet. So we’re committing to include a Copilot agent with every intranet we deliver.
Whether you’re creating a new intranet or building on what you already have, we’ll help you pinpoint high‑value use cases and turn your intranet into a truly intelligent experience.
“We have all thoroughly enjoyed working with Silicon Reef to deliver the new AbbeyNet. The team provided brilliant strategic insight and expertise on how to maximise the use of SharePoint in a way that best suits the needs of Westminster Abbey and our colleagues. The designs focused on maximising SharePoint’s out-of-the-box features while ensuring strong alignment with the Abbey brand and avoiding a ‘corporate’ look…
We have exciting plans to continue working with the team throughout 2026 to build out our digital platforms for staff and volunteers and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.”
