Case Study: Sammons Enterprises, Inc. achieves 80%+ employee adoption and a unified enterprise intranet with Simpplr

Playbook for a successful global enterprise intranet implementation

Sammons Enterprises, Inc., a diversified holding company with more than 6,000 employees across multiple business segments, struggled with an outdated, hard‑to‑navigate intranet, disparate HRIS and technology platforms, limited analytics, and the need to preserve distinct segment branding while driving an “ownership” culture. After evaluating options, Sammons selected Simpplr’s modern intranet (leveraging AI‑driven personalization, robust search and a mobile app) to create a single, easily accessible enterprise hub.

Simpplr worked with Sammons through a phased approach—solutioning, implementation and adoption—using steering committees, content and technical tracks, and launch tactics like executive messaging, a scavenger hunt and targeted newsletters. The Simpplr deployment delivered rapid results: within three months it reached all 11 business segments, achieved over 80% adoption, launched 102 sites with 550+ content items (580+ reported elsewhere) and drove more than 60,000 content views, uniting employees around one source of truth and enabling planned expansion to the UK and Mexico.
