Case Study: INPEX achieves a unified multilingual SharePoint portal for 3,000 global users with AvePoint

INPEX Creates and Maintains Custom Microsoft® SharePoint® Portal for 3,000 Global Users with AvePoint Services and Solutions

INPEX, Japan’s largest exploration and production company with over 3,000 global users, needed a unified internal portal to replace disparate local systems that made it hard to share and archive company information, disseminate CEO messages, and deliver real-time updates across offices. The company also required multilingual support (Japanese and English) and migration of key functions like bulletin boards and file management into a single platform.

Partnering with AvePoint Client Services, INPEX launched customized Microsoft SharePoint portals (global and Japan) in six months, adding a language toggle, improved employee search, bulletin-board enhancements, and targeted news and project sections. Integrated AvePoint tools (DocAve modules and Compliance Guardian) simplified management, reporting, backup, and protection—resulting in centralized, real-time access to corporate information, stronger adoption, and a scalable platform for future collaboration.
