Microsoft Teams vs. your intranet: not the same tool, not the same job.
Teams and an intranet solve different problems: Teams is for chat and meetings, an intranet is for company news, policies and structure. Involv adds that missing layer, built into your Microsoft 365 tenant and reachable natively from inside Teams.
Do you still need an intranet if you already have Teams?
Yes. Microsoft Teams is built for conversation: chat, channels and meetings. It was never designed to be your company's home page. Involv intranet adds that missing home page, and brings it natively into Teams, right where your employees already are.

| Structure | Flat, chronological feed per channel | Structured, persistent pages |
| Reach & targeting | Same message to everyone in a channel | Targeted by role, location or team |

SharePoint, Teams and Involv: the questions we hear most
Does Involv replace Microsoft Teams?
No. Involv intranet builds on your existing SharePoint and works alongside Teams, natively integrated with it. Teams stays your tool for chat and meetings; Involv turns SharePoint into the branded home, governed content and structured navigation Teams was never built to provide.
We already have Teams and SharePoint. Why add anything?
Teams and SharePoint each do one job well: conversation, or pages and files. On their own, SharePoint often stays underused. Involv intranet turns your SharePoint into a single, user-friendly hub with clear navigation and content governance, natively visible in Teams, so employees have one place to go instead of two.
Where does our data stay?
All data stays in your own Microsoft 365 tenant, fully secured within that environment.
Do employees need to leave Teams to use the intranet?
No. Company news, search and intranet resources are visible and usable from inside Teams itself. Employees keep working in one place.
How fast can we get started?
Involv intranet comes with the functionality most organizations need out of the box, so setup is fast. Most organizations have a working intranet live within weeks, connected to their existing Microsoft 365 tenant.
