Case Study: LINGOs achieves global collaboration and virtual HQ with Apptix Hosted SharePoint

Providing Collaboration to Help Humanitarian Groups Improve Productivity & Reach

LINGOs, a non-profit humanitarian aid consortium supporting agencies like CARE, Save the Children, Habitat for Humanity, and Heifer International, needed an affordable way to create a virtual headquarters for its small, distributed team and global member network. The organization was looking for a collaboration platform that could support document sharing, training, and communication without the cost and complexity of building its own infrastructure. Apptix provided Hosted SharePoint to meet those needs.

With Apptix Hosted SharePoint, LINGOs built a virtual HQ for secure collaboration with employees, member organizations, and partners around the world, while keeping internal and member information separate. The solution also supported web-based training and rapid expansion for short-term projects and emergencies; Apptix even had a site ready for relief workers within 24 hours during the 2004 tsunami. As a result, LINGOs saved significant money and human capital while improving remote access, training, and collaboration.
