What is a SharePoint intranet?
A SharePoint intranet is a company intranet built on SharePoint Online, the content platform inside Microsoft 365. The Involv intranet adds a ready-to-use layer on top, with structure, branding and targeted communication, while all your data stays inside your own Microsoft tenant.
Why do so many SharePoint intranets stall?
Many organizations invest time and budget in building their own SharePoint intranet, only to see usage drop off a few months later. Usually that's not down to SharePoint itself, but to four problems that keep repeating.
Management is too complex
Standard SharePoint requires technical knowledge, even for small changes. The communications team ends up depending on IT.
Manage everything yourself, no IT needed
You manage news, pages and templates yourself through an intuitive dashboard, without involving IT.
Adoption drops off fast
Employees can't find what they're looking for and switch back to email or WhatsApp. The intranet turns into an archive.
Built to last, not just to launch
Onboarding and targeted notifications are built in from day one, so people keep coming back after week one.
The design feels generic
Standard SharePoint looks like standard SharePoint: no branding, no sense of ownership.
Fully in your own brand
Your colors, logos and layouts, far removed from the standard Microsoft look.
Every department builds it their own way
Without a shared structure, every team creates its own site: a patchwork nobody can keep track of anymore.
One shared structure
Templates and governance keep every team working within the same structure, traceable for everyone.
Build on the SharePoint environment you already have
The Involv intranet doesn't replace your SharePoint, it builds on it. You add a configured intranet layer on top of SharePoint Online that works within your existing Microsoft 365 environment. For IT, that means no migration, no new silo, and no extra attack surface to monitor.
- Runs directly on your existing SharePoint Online and Microsoft 365
- No external data storage: everything stays inside your own Microsoft tenant
- Users and permissions managed through your own Entra ID, with single sign-on
How do you stop your intranet from becoming a ghost town?
Most in-house built SharePoint intranets follow the same pattern: heavy traffic in the first weeks, a plateau after two months, and by month six a homepage that looks exactly like it did on launch day. That's rarely a technology problem, it's because nobody owns engagement. Involv builds that ownership in.
- Onboarding built in from day one, not just a link sent around once
- Targeted notifications by email, Teams or mobile push, wherever employees already look
- Person-level analytics: who's reading, who isn't, and where you need to act
Who tests your customizations against every Microsoft update?
Microsoft continuously updates SharePoint Online. Once you rely on custom SPFx web parts, an update can mean your customizations need retesting or rework, year after year. At Involv, a dedicated development team tracks those updates, tests their impact and fixes issues before you ever notice them.
- A development team that tracks and tests Microsoft updates, not your IT team
- No SPFx maintenance landing on your desk year after year
- Governance and structure that don't erode after launch
Functionality that goes beyond what SharePoint offers by default
Involv extends SharePoint with targeted functionality that adds structure and usability to your existing environment. You organize content, streamline communication, and make information easier to find, without custom development.
- Smart search with synonyms and a central glossary
- Branded newsletters, sent straight from the intranet
- Your own branded mobile app, with push notifications

Answers to the questions IT teams ask us
Do we need to migrate to use Involv?
No. Involv runs on top of SharePoint Online and Microsoft 365. You keep full ownership of your content, permissions and environment. No migration is needed: you're adding an intranet layer to what you already have.
Do we need SharePoint expertise to manage the intranet?
No. Involv is built so communications teams can manage content themselves, without technical knowledge. Publishing news, editing pages and viewing statistics all happen through an intuitive dashboard, so IT doesn't need to make every change.
How long does it take to go live with an Involv SharePoint intranet?
Usually a few weeks. Thanks to 50+ ready-to-use components and a guided onboarding, most teams go live much faster than with a fully custom SharePoint build. With the QuickStart package, your intranet is typically ready within 4 weeks, with a fixed scope and fixed price.
Where does our data stay?
All data stays inside your own Microsoft 365 tenant. Involv doesn't store anything outside your environment, and users and permissions are managed through your own Entra ID. Your existing security and governance policies keep applying.
Can we personalize content for different teams or locations?
Yes. Involv supports targeted content display based on role, department, language, location or any profile field. That way every employee sees the information that's relevant to them.
What if we're still on SharePoint on-premise?
Microsoft is gradually phasing out support for SharePoint on-premise. Involv helps organizations move smoothly to a modern intranet environment within Microsoft 365, without losing structure or content.
