Creating a centralised SharePoint information hub
Streamlining processes and workflows for a leading children’s charity company
Influential worked with Compassion UK, a children’s charity, to deliver a SharePoint information hub to document the workflows and processes across their 200 SharePoint sites.
Executive brief
Delivering a SharePoint information hub with more to come
Compassion UK is a leading Christian children’s charity founded in 1952. They partner with over 8,500 churches in 29 countries to help more than 2 million children, families, and entire communities.
With hundreds of sites across their SharePoint network, they needed a centralised information hub to streamline their workflows across departments. They also require further work to improve their SharePoint solution and have plans in place with Influential to deliver the next stage of this project.
The Challenge
Ensuring teams work together efficiently
Interestingly, Compassion UK had an existing SharePoint solution which included 200 SharePoint sites across their network. This meant they had difficulty navigating sites and sought to organise them effectively. Consequently, bringing together these sites and creating documentation to tidy up their workflows was their top priority.
They wanted to know how to use best practice with SharePoint, simplify access permissions and improve collaboration between teams and departments. They came across Influential and after seeing our previous SharePoint solutions, chose us as their SharePoint partner.
The Solution
200 SharePoint sites brought together
We were brought onto this project as the partner to produce documentation on how to streamline workflows within SharePoint across their 200 sites. Firstly, our plan involved creating an interactive wiki as one of the deliverables. This information hub would include recommendations for best practise and how to use SharePoint to its full potential.
The Results
An enhanced SharePoint information hub with more to come
We delivered a comprehensive and easy-to-navigate centralised wiki as a information hub for their teams to use. As a result, they were very happy with the work delivered and commended us for positive meetings and collaboration between the two companies.
Our work impressed Compassion UK so much that they decided to continue their partnership with us. We are now awaiting additional proposals for work to update and improve their existing SharePoint solution.
