During our journey of creating a collaborative SharePoint intranet, we saw, with the collaboration of the Order of Pharmacists of Quebec, how their collaborative SharePoint intranet was set up thanks to the expertise of the MS Solutions team.

Why a collaborative SharePoint intranet
Several reasons can lead a company to start implementing a collaborative SharePoint intranet: strategic objectives, updating technological tools, connecting the company’s values to its daily practices using information technologies, etc. .
Whatever the explanations that lead the company to want to set up a collaborative SharePoint intranet, it can meet different objectives within your company, among others:
- Develop an internal communication and information tool;
- Support teamwork;
- Facilitate access to management documents or applications;
- Modernizing your current intranet.
The choice of the collaborative SharePoint intranet can also be explained by the fact that the Microsoft 365 environment is already in place and used.
The stages of creation
During the webinar, the representatives of the Order explained to us that it took approximately 9 months of work between the start of their collaboration with the MS Solutions team and the putting online of the intranet so that it was completed. and accessible to all. Although this may seem like a long time, it should not be ignored that this is a comprehensive new tool that is focused on collaboration and will be implemented for your entire business, including a considerable volume of content. This platform will then be used several times a day by several people at the same time. To have a complete collaborative SharePoint intranet that meets your needs, it is important to go through the different stages of creation:
- Project team:
- Formation of a team combining your IT and communications experts;
- Definition of the roles of each member of the team;

- Identify relevant content to integrate on the new platform within the content already existing within the company.

- Classify and organize information: do not hesitate to do like the Order of Pharmacists of Quebec and use the whiteboard function of Microsoft Teams so that the team can collaborate on the navigation menu and easily communicate their ideas and questions.
- Every menu is unique, because every organization is unique.
- Name and logo:
- Although the logo and name of your intranet could remain the same as your current intranet, we advise you to involve your employees through a competition to find a name and logo specific to your future collaborative SharePoint intranet. Even before it is put online and available, you will already involve your teams in the project thanks to their involvement in the choice of the name and logo.
- The choice can be linked to your colors, name and current logo or be completely different and distinct.
