The end client is an Indian multinational conglomerate comprising over 100 businesses globally across seven business sectors and six continents.
Requirement
To implement a new design to the end client’s existing global employee intranet site reflecting revised corporate branding and including an entirely new look and feel, fonts and other styling elements.
Technical Solution
The intranet is built on the Microsoft SharePoint 2003 platform. Working within this, Kieon modified the relevant page templates and style sheets to implement the rebranded designs.
Project Mechanics
The project ran for two months from initial planning to delivery, and involved working very closely with the agency’s creative and project management teams. Key stages of the project included:
- Detailed requirements gathering with the agency to identify the changes needed and how they should be implemented
- Creating a copy of the Intranet in a local development environment on which to implement the styling changes and then packaging and deploying the changes back to the client’s environment
- Modifying the intranet page templates and style sheets to achieve the desired changes
Conclusion
By working very closely with the agency, Kieon were able to ensure the project was delivered on time and exactly to the specifications of the end client. In transferring a copy of the intranet website to a local hosting environment in which to modify the page templates, Kieon were able to guarantee a smooth transition from the existing design to the updated one, without disruption to day to day users.
The end client was extremely pleased with the end result and continues to be a major client of both the agency and Kieon.
