Case Study: Global Bank achieves unified global collaboration and streamlined document management with Avanade

Global Bank - Customer Case Study

A global asset management firm with roughly 3,000 employees across multiple subsidiaries and time zones faced a stretched legacy collaboration platform, siloed working practices, low intranet adoption and no standardized document management. These limitations prevented companywide knowledge sharing, made it hard to find expertise across geographies, and left IT without repeatable processes for content and templates.

Avanade developed a three‑year collaboration roadmap and implemented a unified SharePoint 2010 platform with Team Sites, MySite, NewsGator, a single document repository, standardized templates and governance. The result is a cohesive global collaboration framework: one destination for content and people, improved search and social features, secure document sharing for legal and other functions, IT toolkits to reduce support, more than one‑third of employees with MySites and nearly 80% Team Site adoption.
