Problem
A large global company needed more timely corporate communications, especially from leadership. The company needed to have global information assets better organized and easier to find - all while keeping to a tight budget.

Solution
Build a corporate Intranet that provided facilities for corporate news, announcements from leadership and information about company initiatives. In addition, the site needed to allow individual departments to create communities of their own. The document sharing requirement exceeded 4000 documents. Offshore resources were used to reduce project cost.

Challenges
Designing the corporate Intranet that had easy and intuitive navigation and the exact right look and feel was the greatest challenge. Then, gathering, editing and organizing all of the content to be consistent with every contributor's expectations was a difficult task in the global and multicultural environment.
