The Relationship
Skills Insight is a Jobs and Skills Council, an organisation whose work depends on well-organised knowledge and smooth collaboration. The relationship with Evocate took shape in 2025 around two complementary pieces: managed services, and an intranet build that migrated content out of Confluence and integrated tightly with Microsoft Teams. The goal was to consolidate onto the Microsoft platform Skills Insight already used every day, and to have a partner support it.
The Work
- Managed services (2025): Evocate took on managed services for Skills Insight, providing ongoing IT support and platform care
- Intranet build with Confluence migration: built a SharePoint intranet and migrated knowledge content out of Confluence
- Teams integration: connected the intranet with Microsoft Teams so collaboration and reference content sit together
Why the Relationship Endures
Migrating from Confluence is more than copying pages. It means rethinking how knowledge is structured for a new platform and reconnecting it to where people actually work, which for Skills Insight is Teams. Skills Insight chose Evocate because one partner could handle the migration, the intranet design, the Teams integration, and the ongoing support. That single line of accountability is why the engagement became a relationship rather than a one-off project.
What This Means for Other Clients
Skills Insight shows Evocate can consolidate organisations onto the Microsoft platform, moving them off third-party tools like Confluence and into a connected SharePoint and Teams experience, then keep it running. For education, training, and member bodies, the lesson is that knowledge migration and day-to-day support belong with the same partner. When one team owns both the move and the maintenance, there is no handover gap where knowledge gets lost. The relationship endures because Evocate delivered the move and stayed to support it.
