The Challenge
The Social Research Centre provides the Australian social science research community with access to world class survey research services, covering survey design, data management, analytical, and qualitative skills across 400 staff.
They needed an intranet with enterprise document management and a collaborative portal that was easy to modify. Research teams needed to control the look and feel of their project spaces without waiting for IT.
The Solution
Evocate delivered a custom built SharePoint 2013 intranet that replaced unstructured shared folders with a browser based document repository. The standout feature: all custom web parts are fully user editable via attachable JavaScript, HTML, and CSS files, giving teams direct control over their workspace presentation.
Key capabilities delivered:
- Central project document management portal
- User editable web parts with customisable renditions
- Migration from unstructured shared folders
- Automated internal approval workflows
- High availability infrastructure
