Case Study: GRDF modernizes internal communications and collaboration with Avanade using Microsoft Office 365

GRDF boosts its internal communications with Microsoft Office 365

GRDF, France’s main natural gas distributor with 11 million customers, 11,500 employees and €3.6 billion in revenue, wanted to modernize the employee workplace and shift away from top‑down communications by promoting digital collaboration and new internal communication practices.

With Avanade, GRDF deployed a central intranet built on Microsoft Azure and Office 365—leveraging SharePoint for collaboration and Yammer for social conversation. One year after launch, 10,500 employees use the portal monthly as the single access point for company resources; communication has become more engaging and efficient, adoption is high, and training time has fallen dramatically.
