Enterprise Collaboration Suite

Secure knowledge sharing and project delivery across distributed teams.

Client Overview

Industry: Professional Services | Region: EMEA | Size: 420 staff | Scope: 4 months

A consulting group scaling rapidly and needing a unified collaboration platform for knowledge and project delivery.

The Challenge

  • Knowledge silos: Documents scattered across drives
  • Project tracking gaps: No unified status reporting
  • Low searchability: Hard to find templates and playbooks
  • Security needs: Client data required access controls
  • Onboarding delays: New staff needed weeks to get up to speed

Solution

We implemented a collaboration suite with governance and search:

  • Knowledge base: Structured wiki with templates and playbooks
  • Project management: Portfolio dashboards and task workflows
  • Secure file storage: Versioning and access policies
  • Search: Unified search across documents and projects
  • Adoption: Practice-area champions and onboarding tracks

Delivery model: Phased rollout with top 3 practices, then full deployment.
