Intranets & employee portals

Intranets and employee portals people open every morning, whether they sit at a desk or work a shop floor. We have built them since 2009, from UPSers to MyPepsiCo and SigmaNet.

An intranet competes with email and hallway conversation for attention. It wins when every employee finds what matters to them in the first minute — their news, their apps, their HR tasks — in their language, on whatever device they carry.

We have built employee portals since 2009. UPSers, which we redesigned, upgraded and supported from 2009 to 2023, reached 600,000+ employees and peak seasonal workers in 2018. MyPepsiCo ran up to 25 languages in one global portal. SigmaNet launched in Mexico in 2019 and served Europe in 2020 and the US in 2021 from the same components.

Employee experience is HR work too: the right HR technology, implemented and maintained, and self-service for the tasks people repeat every week.

01What we deliver

A portal people open every morning.

Personalized employee experience
Content by role, country, site and language, with global news on every page — as SigmaNet targets by country, company, site and unit.
Search that finds things
Enterprise search across documents, people and apps, tuned with real usage data.
Integrations, not another silo
HR, ERP and collaboration tools in one place, behind a single sign-on.
Frontline and deskless staff
The same portal on the phone in their pocket, for people who never sit at a desk.
Governance that scales
Templates, workflows and content ownership that keep hundreds of authors on-brand.
HR digital consulting
The right HR technology for your employee experience, implemented and maintained.
