The Challenge
Summer Foundation works to change the lives of young people with disability, including those at risk of entering or living in aged care. Its people are spread across programs, projects, and locations, all driving toward a shared mission. But internal information was scattered, and there was no single place for news, resources, and the documents teams rely on every day. As a purpose-driven organisation, Summer Foundation needed a connected, modern intranet, without a heavy build or a big internal IT lift.
What Evocate Delivered
Evocate deployed theHub, its SharePoint-based intranet product, configured for Summer Foundation:
- Modern intranet: stood up theHub, built on Microsoft 365 and SharePoint
- Central news feed: created a home for news, announcements, and organisational updates
- Findable resources: organised policies, resources, and documents so staff can locate them quickly
- On-brand design: tailored branding and structure to reflect Summer Foundation’s identity and teams
- Easy to maintain: delivered a platform that staff can keep current without specialist technical skills
Outcomes
Summer Foundation now has one connected place that brings its people together. Staff stay informed through a single news feed rather than scattered emails. Resources and documents are easy to find, so time goes to the mission rather than the search. Because theHub is a proven product, Summer Foundation got a polished intranet quickly and can keep it current with minimal effort.
Why This Matters
Not-for-profits do extraordinary work with lean teams. They need technology that delivers value fast and stays out of the way. Building a custom intranet from scratch costs time and money a mission-driven organisation would rather spend on its people, and it carries the risk of a half-finished platform no one maintains. A proven product like theHub gives a considered, on-brand result without that overhead. Evocate’s role was to connect a passionate team to the information they need to keep changing lives.
