Every day our solution consultants are asked why Simpplr is better than SharePoint. And it’s understandable. For organizations that use the Office365 suite, SharePoint is almost always evaluated as an intranet option. Oftentimes, a Simpplr prospect has already implemented SharePoint at least to some extent, using it for documentation and as a central place for employees to find core company resources.

We know about the “new normal” and “new ways of working” because of the COVID-19 pandemic. For numerous companies, the pandemic shifted the workforce to remote, even if it was temporary. However, more companies are now hiring fully-remote employees even if a large portion of their workforce will return to the office. At the same time, other companies have implemented a hybrid or fully-remote workforce.

By now, you’ve likely heard about the “Great Resignation.” As the pandemic has changed the world we live in, it’s also changed the way we work — and the way we think about work’s role in our lives.

One person can’t be responsible for accomplishing a company-wide initiative. Whether it is engaging in a more customer-centric motion, following a policy on inclusion, or participating in feedback on a new platform, it must be a top-to-bottom motion. The same holds true for redefining the intranet and the role of the intranet community manager for your company’s internal communications. Most might say this is a job for the communications team or community managers.

We can see the ripple effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in every industry — from supply chains under strain to at-home streaming movie premieres to the widespread adoption of “BOPIS” (buy-online-pickup-in-store) in retail. Digital transformation has accelerated at the civilization level, with a massive uptick in the reported number of customer interactions taking place virtually.
