Benefits that Our Social Intranets Provide
A social intranet is more than a communication tool — it’s the engine of your company culture. Here’s what you get when INNERLUXES builds it for you.
Non-financial employee recognition
Your best people deserve to be seen. Our intranets let you celebrate achievements, spotlight promotions, and assign recognition badges — so employees feel valued beyond their paycheck.
Smooth change management
Change is hard. Our intranets make it easier by giving your people a shared space to discuss, ask questions, and stay informed through any transition — mergers, restructures, or culture shifts.
Centralized content governance
No more scattered files or content chaos. We build intranets with a clean governance model that keeps everything organized, accessible, and silo-free.
Effective communication
Whether your team is in one office or spread across continents, your people can find the right colleague, start a conversation, and get things done — formally or casually.
Increased employee engagement
We design intranets people actually want to use. Intuitive layouts, personalized feeds, and smart content suggestions keep your team coming back every day.
Employee satisfaction & retention
Happy employees stay. Our intranets come with knowledge bases, Q&A sections, surveys, and feedback tools — so HR can spot problems early and fix them before people walk out.
Corporate culture support
Your culture deserves its own home. We design branded intranet experiences that carry your values, goals, and wins to every corner of your organization.
Social Features & Service Options
From gamification to governance, we bring everything your social intranet needs — and three flexible delivery paths to get you there. Every engagement draws on our full SharePoint Services bench: SharePoint consulting, SharePoint development, SharePoint migration, SharePoint integration, SharePoint support, a SharePoint health check, and SharePoint managed services.
Your intranet can grow into adjacent SharePoint solutions too — SharePoint portals, a SharePoint CMS, a SharePoint DMS, contract management, knowledge management, learning management, HR management, ticketing and help desk, and custom SharePoint add-ins.
Social Features We Bring to Your Intranet
Communication tools
News, announcements, policies, chats, blogs, wikis, communities, and discussion boards — all the tools your team needs to stay aligned, with optional Microsoft Teams chat woven into the feed.
Gamification features
Badges, leaderboards, and friendly challenges that make participation rewarding and keep energy high across your organization.
Analytical & reporting tools
Surveys, feedback forms, and engagement dashboards that give HR and leadership the data they need to act — not just observe.
Learning management
Onboarding flows, compliance training, microlearning modules, and quizzes — all built into the intranet your people already use.
Employee help desk
Vacation requests, insurance queries, equipment support — handled in one place, without hunting down the right person to ask.
Service Options We Offer
Build from scratch
Building your intranet from the ground up — whether you need a focused collaboration hub or a full content management platform.
Migrate intranet
Moving from an old platform to SharePoint, or upgrading to a newer version or the cloud — we handle the whole journey without disrupting your teams.
Add features
Already have an intranet but need more? We plug in new capabilities like learning management, wikis, or custom tools alongside what you have.
Redesign intranet
Old design, low adoption. We modernize your intranet so people actually want to use it — with updated UX, refreshed visuals, and smarter navigation.
Social Intranet Options We Provide
Depending on how social you want your intranet to be, we offer three paths:
Social web parts
We add targeted social features — like a discussion board or announcement feed — directly to your existing business intranet. Minimal disruption, maximum impact.
Isolated social tab
We group all social activity under one dedicated tab — blogs, communities, classifieds, media galleries — keeping it organized but easy to find.
Full social intranet
We build an intranet designed entirely around your people’s social and cultural needs — from day one. Every feature, every screen, built for connection.

How We Deliver Social Intranets
We provide everything you need to go from idea to a live, thriving intranet — with 132+ professionals behind every step.
1 — Consulting
We help you choose the right deployment model, content policies, mobile strategy, and adoption plan — before a single line of code is written.
2 — Discovery & analysis
We talk to your employees and managers, run questionnaires, and study how your people actually work. Then we define exactly what your intranet needs to do.
3 — Implementation
We build a stable, reliable intranet and create a content governance model that keeps things running smoothly long after launch.
4 — UX & UI design
We design interfaces that feel natural to use. No training manuals required. People just log in and get it.
5 — Customization
We shape your intranet around your workflows — not the other way around. Custom features, branded look, and smooth integrations.
6 — Integration
We connect your intranet with Active Directory, HR systems, ERP platforms, and external news feeds — so your homepage always shows what matters most. Need CRM data on the homepage? We wire in Dynamics 365 and the wider Microsoft 365 suite.
7 — Quality assurance
We test constantly — not just at the end. Code reviews, unit tests, and continuous QA keep your intranet solid from day one.
8 — Managed services
We stay with you after launch. New features, UX improvements, help desk support — we keep your intranet growing with your team.
Objectives & Key Results We Help You Achieve
Intranet adoption
More logins, more page views, more time on the platform, and fewer internal emails clogging everyone’s inbox.
Employee behavior
Active communities, content shares, likes, discussions, and real participation in company life beyond the daily task list.
Loyalty & retention
Stronger connection to the brand, lower turnover, and higher pride in where they work — measurable, trackable, real.
Content management
More user-generated content, trending topics surfaced faster, and less time spent hunting for information across disparate systems.
Content Management Capabilities We Provide
A great social intranet isn’t just social — it’s a content machine. Here’s how we make information work harder for your organization.
Content creation
A built-in authoring module lets your team create content quickly — without needing technical skills or IT support every time something needs to be published.
Content diversity
Your intranet handles it all — news, announcements, policies, Q&A, wikis, and more — in one organized place that everyone knows how to navigate.
Content analytics
Know what your people are reading, sharing, and ignoring — so you can keep improving what you publish and stop wasting time on content nobody sees.
Content personalization
Every employee sees what’s relevant to them — personalized links, suggested content, recent documents, and a newsfeed built around their role and location.
Our Approach to Social Intranet Implementation
We build every intranet around your people — not a generic template. Each solution is shaped by how your teams actually communicate and what they actually need. Intranet design and development is one piece of a wider Microsoft delivery practice — see our intranet design and development work and our knowledge management framework.
When your culture data needs to meet customer data, we connect the intranet to the Dynamics 365 services stack, including Dynamics 365 consulting, Dynamics 365 customization, Dynamics 365 for CRM, Dynamics 365 Sales, Dynamics 365 Customer Service, Dynamics 365 for help desk, Dynamics 365 Customer Insights, a charts and BI solution, and an email tracking tool.
Hosting and security come from the same team. We deliver Microsoft Azure with Azure consulting services, Azure managed services, and Microsoft Power Apps, and we can walk you through the advantages of Microsoft Azure, Azure for small business, Microsoft Azure for startups, and Azure security essentials. Day-two operations are covered by Microsoft 365 consulting, Microsoft 365 migration, and Microsoft 365 managed services.
People-first design
Every design decision starts with your employees. We study how they work, what frustrates them, and what would genuinely make their day better — then build to that.
SharePoint maximized
We make SharePoint’s out-of-the-box strengths work harder for you — keeping costs down and ROI high without cutting corners on quality or capability.
Full-package delivery
With 132+ professionals, and clients across 30+ industries, we bring consulting, building, and ongoing support — so you never figure it out alone.
Adoption-first mindset
A beautiful intranet nobody uses is a waste. We build with adoption in mind from day one — intuitive UX, clear navigation, and change management baked in.
SharePoint Social Intranet – Q&A
Timelines depend on scope. A focused social intranet with core features can go live in 2–3 months. More complex, enterprise-wide solutions typically take 4–6 months. We define a precise timeline during the discovery phase so there are no surprises.
Yes. We connect SharePoint intranets with Active Directory, HR platforms, ERP systems, external news feeds, and more — so your homepage surfaces the information that matters most to each employee, automatically.
We can plug social capabilities into your existing SharePoint environment — discussion boards, recognition tools, communities, learning modules — without rebuilding what already works. You get the social layer you need without starting from scratch.
