Case Study: ARCO achieves a people-first, connected workforce and centralized knowledge hub with Axero

How ARCO Sharpened Its Focus on People with Axero

ARCO is the 15th largest design/build general contractor in the U.S., made up of 27 independent family businesses and roughly 1,000 employees across 19 offices. Rapid growth left the company struggling with scattered knowledge and a fragile first intranet that was little more than links to Word docs — causing duplication, permission headaches, outdated HR processes, and employees keeping their own versions of important files.

ARCO chose Axero and launched ARCOnnect, integrating Active Directory to power a global directory and interactive org chart and adding document management, Spaces, badges, video, workflows and analytics. The new intranet improved discoverability and transparency, digitized programs like sabbaticals and charitable matching, boosted engagement (including high-view content and regular analytics reporting), and prompted multiple business units to migrate their files — turning a fractured system into a central, people-centered platform.
