Client Case: HTI Group chooses Involv Intranet with Solvion

This client case comes from our partner Solvion, who guided HTI Group through the implementation of their new Involv intranet.

The HTI Group, a global leader in innovative and sustainable technologies for industries such as winter sports, mobility and renewable energy, faced the challenge of modernising its outdated intranet. The existing system no longer met the needs of a modern, globally operating company, leading to slow information exchange and low user adoption.

Solvion was brought in by HTI to find a suitable intranet solution. As a trusted Involv Intranet implementation partner, Solvion identified Involv as the ideal solution based on HTI's requirements.

Objectives

HTI Group's old intranet was outdated, difficult to use, and lacked the security and flexibility needed for collaboration across international locations. The key objectives for the new intranet included:

• User-friendliness and modern design – an intuitive system for all employees.
• Centralised collaboration – a platform that connects teams worldwide.
• Secure, cloud-based SaaS solution – reliability and security as top priorities.
• Seamless integration with Microsoft 365 – connecting smoothly with existing workflows.

Project execution & collaboration

The project was structured into multiple phases, from an initial pre-project phase to implementation and content creation. Two teams – a core team and an extended project team with more than 50 international members – worked closely together. Weekly meetings and regular updates ensured transparent communication and quick problem-solving.

Challenges & solutions

A major organisational challenge was coordinating a global team across different time zones and company cultures. From a technical perspective, an authorisation framework needed to be implemented to ensure worldwide intranet accessibility while protecting sensitive data.

Additionally, migrating and updating old content, as well as training content editors, were challenging tasks. Editorial processes also had to be adjusted to make the new workflows clear and accessible for employees.

The role of Involv

Our experts at Involv Intranet worked closely with our partner Solvion to provide HTI Group with a solution that met their needs. Involv offers all essential intranet features in a unified, visually appealing design that remains consistent across all devices.

Results and feedback

HTI Group's new intranet stands out for its modern, user-friendly and functional design, offering numerous benefits and features:

• Multilingual support – information is available in the company's four main languages, improving global communication.
• Mobile accessibility – a specially developed app provides access for non-desk employees, such as production workers, ensuring inclusion across all staff groups.
• Microsoft Teams integration – the intranet is seamlessly integrated into Teams, allowing direct access to key content within daily workflows.
• User-friendliness – a well-structured homepage with clearly visible news sections enhances navigation and accessibility.
• Efficient access management – content is specifically available to relevant user groups, optimising both security and user experience.

The new intranet has been very well received across HTI Group's international locations and has garnered highly positive feedback. One standout statistic speaks for itself:

More than 4,600 employees – the intranet reaches all staff members worldwide, significantly strengthening internal communication.

This collaboration between HTI, Solvion and Involv demonstrates how strategic partnerships and the use of modern technologies can drive a successful digital transformation within global organisations.
