Case Study: Porter Novelli delivers a secure, customized client portal with HyperOffice

Porter Novelli - Customer Case Study

Porter Novelli, a top global public relations firm, needed a collaborative portal for an internationally distributed team of over 100 industry executives. The challenge was to deliver a highly customized, easy-to-administer solution with tailored navigation, permissions, document sharing, and calendar functions—without exceeding budget or requiring a major hardware investment. They evaluated in-house development, SharePoint, and hosted options before selecting HyperOffice.

HyperOffice provided a hosted collaboration platform that Porter Novelli customized and integrated into its existing site using design mockups, HTML, and the publisher function. The portal supported dynamic calendars, secure user roles, and simplified navigation for board members and standard members while remaining branded as part of the client’s site. The implementation was a major success and came in below budget, leading Porter Novelli to plan broader use of HyperOffice for other departments and client applications.
