Enhancing an existing SharePoint intranet
Enhance your SharePoint intranet with Involv, so adoption finally takes off.
A year after go-live, plenty of self-built SharePoint intranets look exactly like they did on day one: same generic interface, same static newsfeed, same low adoption. That's not a failure on your team's part, it's what happens when a document platform is asked to be a communication platform too. Involv adds the missing layer on top of the SharePoint you already have: no migration, no rebuild, no starting over.

Sound familiar?
A year in, does your SharePoint intranet still feel unfinished?
SharePoint is a solid foundation for documents and collaboration. But a year after go-live, these are the gaps we see most in intranets that were built in-house on top of it.
Looks like SharePoint, not your intranet
The out-of-the-box interface is generic. Without extra work, it never quite feels like a destination people choose to visit.
Search finds files, not answers
Native search matches keywords. Without synonyms or context, people still can't find the right document, or the right colleague.
Sites multiply, structure doesn't
Anyone can spin up a new site. Without a content and governance layer on top, ownership and structure get lost fast.
News stays deskbound
There's no built-in personalised feed or branded mobile app, so frontline and remote colleagues are the last to hear the news.
The trade-off
Keep patching it yourself, or enhance it with Involv?
Involv doesn't replace SharePoint or migrate your data. It installs as a ready-made layer on top of the tenant you already have, adding the structure, branding and 60+ components a finished intranet needs. The alternative is to keep extending what you built in-house, the same way you built it.
| Criterion | Stay on your self-built intranet | Enhance it with Involv |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | The intranet you built yourself, unchanged since day one | The same SharePoint, with a ready-made layer added on top |
| Time to fix it | Months of new designing, building and testing | Live in weeks, usually 4 with QuickStart |
| Budget | Hourly rates, hard to budget up front | Fixed scope and fixed price |
| Best practices | Figure out what works yourself, again | The experience of 300+ organisations, built in |
| Maintenance | Your IT team or an external party | Automatic updates by Involv |
| Ongoing support | Depends on who built it and whether they're still around | A dedicated success manager and ongoing support |
| Mobile app | Built separately or not provided | Included, in your own branding |
| Data & security | ✓ In your own tenant | ✓ In your own tenant |

Frequently asked questions
Fixing what you already built: the questions we get most
We already built our SharePoint intranet ourselves. Can Involv still help?
Yes, that's exactly the situation Involv is built for. Involv installs as a layer on top of the SharePoint you already have: your content, permissions and structure stay where they are. There's no migration and no rebuild. Involv adds the missing components, branding and governance on top of what your team already put in place.
Does Involv replace our SharePoint environment?
No. Involv doesn't replace SharePoint, it completes it. SharePoint stays the foundation for documents and collaboration; Involv adds a ready-made intranet layer with structure, branding and targeted communication.
What's the difference between building it yourself and a ready-made intranet?
When you build it yourself, your team or a consultant develops everything custom: maximum freedom, but also months of lead time, rising costs and your own maintenance. A ready-made intranet like Involv is pre-built on the basis of hundreds of projects: you configure it, go live in weeks and the updates come automatically.
Can we still tailor a ready-made intranet to our organisation?
Yes. You choose which components to use, set up the structure to fit your organisation and adapt colours, logos and layouts to your branding. You show content in a targeted way by role, department, language or location.
What does an out-of-the-box SharePoint intranet cost?
That depends on your organisation's size and the chosen package. Unlike a custom track, you do know the figure up front: QuickStart works with a fixed scope and a fixed price, without hourly rates that pile up.
Who maintains the intranet after go-live?
Involv. Updates and new functionality are rolled out automatically, without a maintenance project for your IT team. On top of that, a dedicated success manager stays in touch, long after launch.
How quickly is a ready-made intranet up and running?
Most organisations go live in a few weeks. With the QuickStart package your intranet is usually up within 4 weeks, including setup in your branding and training for your administrators.
