Case Study: Archant achieves company-wide collaboration and increased revenue with Socialcast

Archant - Customer Case Study

Archant, one of the UK’s largest independent regional publishers with about 2,000 employees, faced a challenge modernizing communications across newspapers, magazines and digital teams. The company needed a secure, easy-to-use, on‑premise social platform to break down silos, reduce reliance on email and phone, and give staff a single place to access company information and collaborate across offices.

Archant deployed Socialcast as its enterprise network, “Connect,” and quickly engaged 1,400 users through a companywide launch and integrations with SharePoint and mobile access. The platform boosted collaboration across magazine and sales teams, sped IT troubleshooting, improved morale and executive accessibility, helped generate new deals and advertising opportunities, and made Archant more attractive to next‑generation hires.
