Case Study: Boyce Thompson Institute builds a more connected community with Haystack

Boyce Thompson Institute Builds Community while Exploring Scientific Frontiers

Boyce Thompson Institute (BTI) faced a challenge in fostering communication and collaboration within its large, diverse international team. Their internal resources were scattered, and a cobbled-together intranet was limited, holding them back. The primary communication channel was inefficient email blasts that often missed the mark. BTI's Director of IT and Communications, Aaron Callahan, sought a robust platform to create a central home base and chose to implement the Haystack intranet.

Haystack provided a simple, intuitive solution that was quickly adopted by the BTI staff. The platform replaced cumbersome email announcements with targeted group communications, ensuring information reached the right people. It empowered employees to easily create and share content, strengthening the organization's sense of community. The solution from Haystack successfully became a single source of truth and an interactive virtual office that connected the vibrant BTI team.
