Case Study: Laing O'Rourke improves global communication and collaboration with ClearPeople Atlas

Laing O’Rourke - Customer Case Study

Laing O’Rourke, a global engineering enterprise with more than 15,000 staff, needed a modern central communications hub to replace its congested legacy intranet and bring consistency across its expanding mix of line-of-business systems and Microsoft 365 transition. The old platform had become a dumping ground for information, making it hard to manage content, support global and local communication, and keep employees updated across office, site, and frontline roles.

ClearPeople implemented Atlas, a digital workspace and Knowledge Productivity Platform built within Laing O’Rourke’s Microsoft 365 and Azure environment. The new system launched as a centralised communication hub with fast access to relevant information, global broadcasting, and user-specific updates, and was adopted across all sectors within 24 hours of general availability. ClearPeople delivered a simple, engaging experience that helped Laing O’Rourke showcase projects, improve collaboration, and support future productivity and innovation.
