Customer Testimonial
Fred Tyler, ABB Alstom Power’s Intranet Manager, says:

“Working with this team has been crucial to the overall success of the Intranet. And we have gotten a number of benefits from the Intranet - people use it everywhere. One example is that newly hired employees are able to quickly learn what they need to do their jobs online. This is a crucial advantage because we are hiring new people constantly. Now we have a solution that allows our employees to find what they need when they need it. We’re always adding something new - recently, we built an Online Travel Center and an Industry-specific news service that have been big hits with the users.”
