We initially selected Simpplr because of our shared vision of what an intranet should be like. What we did not realize back then is how much Simpplr would transform the way we work and collaborate.

CHALLENGE

Limited IT resources to manage intranet

WestEd had been relying on an outdated, homegrown intranet to help connect its distributed workforce. It was a flat application that only supported one-way communication and WestEd was finding it increasingly difficult to create, organize and distribute content. One of the most common complaints its employees had, was the inability of the platform to help them find the information they needed.
