Case Study: Foster + Partners connects 1,500 staff worldwide with Cogworks' custom Umbraco intranet

Foster + Partners connects 1,500 staff across 13 studios with Cogworks

Foster + Partners, a globally renowned architecture firm with 1,500 staff across 13 studios, faced the challenge of disconnected internal knowledge and resources scattered across various systems. They needed a central, well-designed digital platform to connect their entire global workforce. They engaged vendor Cogworks to build a custom intranet solution using the Umbraco CMS.

Cogworks designed and built a sophisticated intranet that reflected the firm's own design principles, creating an intuitive and minimalist interface. The solution integrated powerful Azure Cognitive Search to provide a unified search across all content types, enabling staff to quickly find people, documents, and news. The platform successfully replaced disparate systems with a single digital home that the global workforce actively uses to stay connected.
