No more working in silos with Sogeti's collaboration platform implementation

Background

The client wanted to implement synergy between all 80 of its subsidiaries and decided to establish a collaborative platform for the whole group, without imposing a technology choice or technical integration with the various subsidiaries. They were looking to have the Operational Platform accessible to all by enabling cooperation between the various subsidiaries.

Solution

Sogeti established a platform - IBM Connections (Widgets & customization) mode for Virtual Private Cloud. They also set up a self user registration, customized the colors of the platform holding, set up File Architecture and Security and tailored a plan to support training and communication for users in each subsidiary

Benefits

The solution became a global platform to overcome the organizational silos separating the branches between them. The platform does not belong to a subsidiary and being seen as external, the adoption was faster.
