1. Demand a new kind of employee communications and experience solution
EX continues to evolve, with employee expectations — and the demands on organizations to meet them — soaring. Yet legacy intranets are siloed, struggle to scale, and fail to adequately serve employees’ individualized needs.
It’s time for a new breed of EX platform. We are easy for end users and administrators alike, resulting in intranets that people love to use (74% monthly active users) and love to manage (3x faster to operate than other intranet solutions).
A complete solution
Too many employees find themselves juggling multiple tools and logins just to navigate the workplace. The result? Frustration, fractured attention, shackled productivity and increased security risks.
- The constant distraction of context switching between apps lowers productivity and raises stress levels, making employees less effective overall.
- The absence of a single source of truth creates confusion and frustration when employees struggle to locate the right information across disjointed systems.
- Too many communication channels makes it tough to hear the signals through the noise.
- A poor user experience — including noise, difficult-to-use interfaces, stale content, slow-loading applications and confusing workflows — contribute to low adoption and usage.
- More employee logins introduce additional complexities that make it harder to maintain robust security measures, increasing the overall security risk for the organization.
Simpplr: Unified, intuitive platform for everything employees need — all in one place
“We said goodbye to an outdated intranet and organization-wide emails and said hello to a more curated, centralized, and social intranet for all our latest news, information, events and more. We went from zero metrics to over 96% of team members visiting the Cube within the first few weeks of launching and that number has held steady every month to date.” ~ Natalie Geley, Manager of Digital Media at OPTrust
Like Workplace by Meta, we have robust social features to drive engagement, community and culture. But we’re much more than “Facebook for work.” We’ve built our Simpplr One™ platform to streamline employee communication, engagement, collaboration, knowledge management, surveys, feedback, recognition, service delivery, advance analytics and more.
- Create a unified digital HQ where all employees — from the back office to the frontline — can connect and get everything they need to be successful.
- Coordinate communications at scale with audience targeting, campaigns, writing assistance, language translation, automated content moderation and more.
- Extend your communications and engagement strategy via mobile app, newsletters and digital signage.
- Drive collaboration, knowledge management, search, feedback, recognition, service management and more — all from the same platform.
- Set up no-code integrations in minutes to thread together your most valuable HR, communication, productivity and knowledge management tools. Plus, add workflows or extend Simpplr to other systems with APIs and SDKs.
- Uncover real-time, actionable intelligence with out-of-the-box analytics that analyzes employee sentiment, engagement, and behavioral signals to enable action.
These unified capabilities have helped to elevate EX and productivity for Simpplr customers like UKG, which exceeded intranet engagement (+15%) and usage (+7%) benchmarks after implementing Simpplr. “Our intranet, UKG Today, brings simplicity to our employees through ease of use, tailored content, exemplary user support, and a design that’s beautiful and uncomplicated,” said Lead Communications Specialist Cheryl Alto. And each of the nearly 346,000 searches conducted on UKG Today in 2023 represent “time saved for employees, helping them find the content, people, and resources they need to be more productive and have greater impact.”
AI purpose-built across the platform for personalized delivery
“While AI is still emerging for many IPS competitors, Simpplr offers fully functional and integrated AI applied to a wide range of functions.” ~ 2023 Gartner® Critical Capabilities for Intranet Packaged Solutions report
We responsibly leverage advanced AI to personalize every employee’s experience, ensuring only the most relevant information reaches them at the right time. No wonder Gartner highlights high-end user adoption — across both office and frontline worker use cases — as one of our core strengths.

TriNet modernized their intranet with Simpplr to increase employee engagement and streamline internal information-sharing, reducing inbox overload for the company’s 2,700+ employees. “Prior to adopting Simpplr as the news and information platform for our company intranet, TriNet relied primarily on email to deliver company-wide communications to our colleagues. With so many emails, it was too easy for some critical information to get lost in the noise,” said Ira Gottlieb, Divisional Vice President, Corporate Communications. “Leveraging ‘The Source’ has enabled us to focus mass distribution emails on those which are a top priority or urgent, which helps our colleagues focus on the information they need most. TriNet colleagues know that spending just five minutes a day on The Source enables them to get company news and information in one, convenient place.”
Simpplr’s AI-powered EX platform enables you to:
- Tailor content and new-hire onboarding experiences to each individual with AI-powered adaptive personalization.

Since switching to Simpplr from their legacy intranet, Credit Acceptance has seen a 30% increase in intranet usage and notable jump in engagement among the company’s more than 3,000 employees, said Web Content Specialist Krystal Barrad. “The way we have been able to use Simpplr’s intranet to recognize team members and support our communications strategy has had a huge impact on the Fortune & Great Place to Work Trust Index Survey and our position on the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For list!”
Enterprise-ready and built to scale

2. Experience effortless migration
Implementing a new platform can be stressful for admins and employees and disrupt the flow of business. The complexity of traditional intranet implementations can lead to extended timelines, resource drains, and potential disruptions to ongoing operations.
Studies show that 44% of IT projects experience cost overruns and delays. Zipdo found that a mere 16% of software projects are completed on time and within budget. In fact, Simpplr research has found that delayed deployments are a top reason that intranets fail. It takes a staggering 25 months on average for organizations to build and deploy an intranet, according to research by Nielsen Norman.
The volume-and-relevance challenge
Think of it like this: Migrating your intranet is like moving to a new house. If you’ve lived there a long time, you’ve probably got a lot of stuff — and the decision about what matters enough to move and what’s just been collecting dust in the attic can be daunting. Like a home, the more content you’ve collected in your intranet, the greater the challenge when it comes time to move it. This is the volume challenge.
Likewise, if you’re moving from a one-room cabin with the bare essentials to a spacious penthouse brimming with smart devices, you want to ensure you’re making the best use that new space has to offer. This is the relevance challenge.
Simpplr: Faster, easier migration with zero-failed implementations
“I could not have asked for a better implementation team. … They helped to make a very complex use case manageable, especially in the timeframe we wanted to go live by. … Simpplr absolutely met the original timeframe and budget. ” ~ Jen Bare, Director of Corporate Communications at Sammons Enterprises
Using Simpplr’s expert-guided tools and support, it’s easier to move and transform stale, one-dimensional content into content that engages your employees no matter where or how they work. Our road-tested migration framework helps you get your new EX platform up and running in weeks, not months, and ensures all your content finds the right home.
- 3-week implementation framework from requirements and content planning to launch

Migrating to Simpplr from their outdated and hard-to-use legacy intranet helped CrowdStrike overcome communication and cultural challenges as the company grew. “Simpplr is easy to use, deploys quickly, and requires minimal training — making the intranet platform a necessity in the digital workplace,” said Chris Lewis, Senior Manager — Applications.“The technology has saved the organization time, money, and helped decrease CrowdStrike’s IT tickets.”
3. Future-proof your investment
At Simpplr, we’re committed to being your long-term partner. Unlike some providers, we’re built for the future — constantly innovating and with the resources to ensure a reliable platform you can count on.
Meta has recommended Zoom’s Workvivo as their official alternative — but that’s a significant risk. Like what Workplace was to Meta, Workvivo is just a fraction of Zoom’s overall business. So it’s understandable that you might have concerns about their long-term commitment and focus on intranets if you need to make a Workplace migration. Learn more about Simpplr vs. Workvivo.
