Case Study: C&J Energy Services achieves a unified, SharePoint-based enterprise intranet in under 30 days with Gimmal Workplace Builder

Using an Enterprise Intranet to scale efficiently following a major acquisition

C&J Energy Services, a leading oil & gas services company, was executing a nearly $3B merger that tripled its size from about 3,500 to 12,000 employees and needed to operate as a unified organization from day one of the announcement. Facing a sub-30‑day deadline to scale communications, streamline operations and expand SharePoint from simple collaboration to a full enterprise intranet, C&J engaged Gimmal and its Gimmal Workplace Builder to meet these urgent requirements.

Gimmal built and deployed a SharePoint‑based enterprise intranet using Gimmal Workplace Builder in under 30 days, integrating corporate communications, HR and IT into a single employee portal. The solution enabled rapid, organization‑wide collaboration and onboarding with minimal training, supported publishing and governance needs, and helped C&J Energy Services present a unified voice across ~12,000 employees—meeting the deadline and mitigating the destabilizing effects of the acquisition.
