The Ministry of Foreign Affairs Denmark – Winners of the Best SharePoint Intranet Solution
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark uses one of the most complex SharePoint solutions worldwide. The intranet has evolved through three generations of SharePoint, all adding to the capabilities, content creation and multifaceted functions of the platform.
The intranet is such an essential every day tool, and therefore most employees already have the know-how required to publish content. This makes it an organic tool that shapes itself according to the individuals in the organization.
Knowledge sharing across geographically dispersed teams, segmenting news portals and supporting business processes integrated with other IT systems has ensured internal communication on a very high level.
