Case Study: Envestnet achieves a centralized, high-adoption intranet with Simpplr

How Envestnet Redefined the Intranet Community Manager Role for Their Company

Envestnet, a Chicago-based financial investment and wellness company with over 4,600 employees across 11 global locations, was hampered by an outdated intranet that had evolved from a documentation tool into an unreliable communications hub. Internal comms relied heavily on email, there was no single source of truth, and Community Engagement Manager Bekie Hogsed was overwhelmed maintaining content and driving executive adoption—so Envestnet selected Simpplr to replace their legacy tool.

Using Simpplr, Envestnet rebranded and migrated more than 20,000 content items into 200+ sites—reducing content volume by roughly half—and launched the new intranet within five months with a single community staffer. Simpplr’s built-in tools, federated search, and governance features (site owners, intranet managers, and 30-minute onboarding) shifted ownership to team leads, increased traffic and adoption, improved content accuracy through annual reviews, and generated positive employee feedback.
