The project will deliver the following benefits:
- Increased productivity through better organization and search tools enabling staff to locate information quickly and easily;
- Reducing information redundancy by creating a central content repository;
- Providing targeted and more effective communication through an overhaul of existing communication pieces and channels;
- Increased collaboration through the use of current tools such as blogs and wiki;
- Increased employee engagement through the use of leading edge social media tools, new branding and identity of the intranet.
Finally, planning for and providing an architecture that enables easy deployment of future SharePoint sites university-wide creates a value-added service which the department can then offer within the University
