The digital workplace features high on the list of priorities for companies going through digital transformation. Many are re-assessing their intranet, understanding that it can make a serious difference to their efforts in terms of social, collaboration, adoption and employee engagement. The intranet is often seen as the thing that ties the digital workplace together. It’s the organisational operating system.
