Case Study: EduTrust Academies Charitable Trust - Workplace Solution
“Brantas brought their expertise into our existing team and helped us fast-track our intranet project. The result was exactly as we expected, on-budget, on-time and packed with the features that we really needed to deliver real benefits to our staff. Our intranet looks great and is easy to use and as usual the team at Brantas were a pleasure to work with.”
Chris Meaney, Director of ICT, EduTrust Academies Charitable Trust
NEED
EACT required an internal platform to:
1. Enable document collaboration
2. Provide Information Management and distribution
3. Create a project Management framework
BUSINESS CHALLENGE
Brantas worked within a very aggressive timescale to understand the key needs, culture and ethos of EACT. EACT were committed to developing their platform using Microsoft SharePoint technologies.
SOLUTION
We enhanced SharePoint’s existing functionality and interfaces using bespoke and individualistic styling to create a fully branded intranet workplace solution which later became known as i-Link. We had to guide and consult with EACT key resources to evolve their requirements into a working solution. We created a future-proof modular platform that can be extended and
upgraded with minimal interruption to business critical activities. This will enable i-Link to grow and allow EACT to focus
on their core objectives of transforming under-performing schools whilst enhancing the education experiences of both students and teachers.
RESULTS
- Fully personalised intranet platform.
- Remote working capabilities.
- Business continuity.
- Office transformation.
