Case Study: Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority rebuilds its intranet in 2 weeks with ShortPoint

How DSOA saved 10 weeks and $10k+ designing their Intranet

Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority (DSOA) was struggling with a complex, out-of-the-box SharePoint intranet that was unengaging for employees and required expensive, time-consuming custom coding for even the smallest changes. Senior Associate Manager Rami Abdulkarim sought an easy-to-navigate and interactive intranet for their 350 employees but lacked the in-house expertise, leading to low usage and lost productivity.

By implementing ShortPoint, a no-code design platform for SharePoint, DSOA’s developer was able to redesign, rebrand, and rebuild the entire intranet without writing any code. Using ShortPoint's tools, the project was completed in just two weeks instead of a projected three months, saving over $10,000 in developer costs. The new intranet now receives over 1,000 daily visits from employees, a massive increase from the handful of users it had previously.
