Case Study: Leading Mining Company eliminates silos, streamlines communications and strengthens company culture with Powell Software's Powell Intranet

How A Mining Company With 4000 Employees Eliminated Silos, Streamlined Comms & Built A Stronger Company Culture

Leading Mining Company, a premier mining solutions enterprise with more than 4,000 employees across the Asia‑Pacific region, faced an outdated SharePoint on‑prem intranet and siloed internal communications as it launched its new "Connect" brand and moved into a new headquarters. The organisation needed a modern, branded intranet, cloud migration to Microsoft 365, better document control and search, a staff directory and app centre, and a single channel for company‑wide messaging — so it selected Powell Software’s Powell Intranet for its rapid deployment and out‑of‑the‑box functionality.

Working with implementation partner Glenfield Digital, Powell Software used Powell Manager templates to deliver a customized, mobile‑accessible Connect intranet (design and deployment achieved in two weeks within a 10‑week program). The solution centralized news, policy and documents, improved search and staff discovery, enabled targeted communications and governance, and supported the HQ launch; results included 600,000 views in 90 days, extremely positive feedback from users and management, and delivery on time and within budget.
