Why did you decide to become a sponsor of IoIC?
We have collaborated more closely with Internal Communications teams over the years by creating intranets and campaigns to improve employee engagement using SharePoint and Microsoft 365. In our work, we’ve noticed that IC teams often face a lot of pressure to use the tools they have effectively, and we know that they are not always familiar with technology and IT don’t have the ability/capacity/priority to help them. This creates a gap in knowledge between IC's needs and IT's awareness of what is possible, and this is where we bring value to our IC customers.
Now more than ever companies are realising how vital employee experience is, and the people who will lead the charge for change come from Internal Comms and People teams. We saw sponsoring the IoIC as an opportunity to help educate this community not only in how to achieve their goals, but also make their lives easier and relieve some of the stress from certain tasks with Microsoft 365.
In what ways does your organisation contribute to the internal communications community, and how do you see this partnership with IoIC enhancing that contribution?"
We help IC professionals get the most out of their M365 ecosystem and build the business case for why it's so important not only for employees but for the organisation. Through the partnership we'll be able to develop learning opportunities by providing webinars, ebooks and case studies that offer solutions to the tech pain points and challenges felt by this community. More so, we'll be able to help IC professionals create the roadmap needed to deliver the ultimate employee experience in a painless and cost effective way.

Tell us a fun fact about your company that not many people know?
We're not just tech wizards sat behind computers all day - our team are a multi-talented bunch. The intro music for our podcast was recorded by our CTO, and the photos we use in our Teams backgrounds were taken by one of our consultants. We also have sailors, football coaches, and Warhammer heroes. One benefit of being a remote company who champions flexible working is that our team have more time to embrace the areas of their lives that make them them. And we think this shows up in our work. We all live in different places, have different hobbies and interests, different skills, and we bring that into the work we deliver to give it a real human touch.
