The Challenge
Agile Group is a business-services and consulting firm. Like many consultancies, its knowledge is its product: methodologies, templates, client-ready documents and internal know-how. But that material was scattered across file shares, inboxes and personal drives, with no single front door for staff. New starters struggled to find what they needed, company news and updates had no natural home, and good content was hard to surface. The firm wanted a proper intranet, not another folder structure, somewhere staff would actually go to find news, documents and resources.
What Evocate Delivered
Evocate deployed theHub, its SharePoint Online intranet product, in 2022. The engagement covered:
- Discovery: how staff work, what content matters, and how it should be organised
- theHub configuration: theHub built on SharePoint Online and branded to Agile Group
- Home page: company news, announcements and quick links surfaced in one place
- Document structure: structured document libraries and resource areas with consistent navigation
- Search tuning: search configured so staff can find documents and people quickly
- Handover: guidance for the team who maintain content going forward
Outcomes
Agile Group now has a single, branded intranet that staff open as their starting point. Company news and updates have a home, so communication no longer relies on email alone. Documents, templates and resources sit in structured SharePoint Online libraries with consistent navigation, making them easy to find. Because theHub is built on Microsoft 365, it inherits the platform’s security and works alongside the tools staff already use.
Why This Matters
For a consultancy, the difference between scattered files and a real intranet is whether people can find and reuse what the firm already knows. theHub gives organisations a modern SharePoint intranet without a ground-up custom build: branded, structured and quick to stand up. Agile Group shows how a focused, single engagement can turn fragmented content into a genuine internal hub that the whole team uses.
