From an Award-winning intranet to an Award-winning digital workspace

Topic

Transitioning an intranet from SharePoint Classic to Modern is no easy feat, particularly for a 20,000+ workforce, but Cox Communications wanted this to be far more than a migration project. 

The aim was to offer a powerful new digital workspace which would be the central hub for communication, collaboration and work. The focus was on personalised and targeted content, integrated experiences, customisable resources, and an improved search.

But the team didn’t want to stop there. With a focus on continuous improvement driven by real-time user insights, they invested in developing a suite of sophisticated measures and analytics.  

Join Jamie Stokes to learn about Cox Communications’ journey to modernise their award-winning intranet, and their innovative approach to defining and measuring engagement.

Jamie will share her experiences leading this project, including:

  • the journey from Classic to Modern
  • leaning-in to maximize M365
  • the value of having the right measurements in your toolbox
  • using data to inform content decisions and improve engagement
