Case Study: Aston University improves employee engagement with Core Technology Systems

Aston University improves intranet search and collaboration with Core Technology Systems

Aston University, a Microsoft-first institution, faced the challenge of replacing its outdated legacy intranet, which was no longer fit for purpose in a permanent hybrid working model. The university lacked the internal technical expertise to define a new digital employee experience that would improve engagement, communication, and collaboration. They engaged Core Technology Systems to explore solutions using SharePoint Online and Microsoft Viva.

Core Technology Systems led a comprehensive discovery phase to capture requirements and design a new intranet platform named OneAston. The solution centralized news and events, integrated all business systems, and provided an intuitive user experience. The result was universally positive feedback from staff, who reported that information was easier to find and access. Core Technology Systems' expertise delivered a seamless platform that eliminated duplicate efforts and provided a strong foundation for the university's future digital experience plans.
