Our Solution
As we had developed the initial information architecture and
design for L&Q's first intranet it made sense for Content and
Code to customise L&Q's SharePoint implementation. We re-built
all the existing functionality in SharePoint and designed the new
system to take on the accessible, clean, consistent design features
of the first intranet. The new SharePoint intranet allowed for
check-in, check-out document access, advanced version control,
powerful search, password protected areas, email notifications and
on-the-fly mini-site creation. These features transformed the
intranet into a robust work-based portal and collaboration tool
that empowered L&Q staff to share knowledge and use information
like never before. The system was imported onto Content and Code
servers before being migrated back to L&Q's internal servers in
a seamless transition.
The new improved intranet includes a custom-built advanced
forms-based Decorating Voucher feature built by Content and Code to
allow L&Q staff to enter specific details (number of rooms,
location, condition) to calculate and receive a voucher for
decorating supplies from local retail outlets.
Best of all, Content and Code's efficient approach allowed for
design and rapid-deployment in just over a month.
