Case Study: Golden Charter achieves seamless SharePoint integration and boosted productivity with SORCE

SORCE provides seamless integration with SharePoint

Golden Charter, the UK’s leading independent funeral-plan provider with around 400 staff, needed a powerful, scalable intranet that would seamlessly integrate with an existing SharePoint document-management system to give real‑time access, boost productivity and increase employee engagement. They chose Sorce’s intranet solution (Engage) to avoid high SharePoint development costs and to deliver a modern, user-friendly site.

Sorce implemented a tightly integrated intranet that surfaces SharePoint documents transparently, adds mandatory‑read controls, sub‑categorised lists/folders, blogs, microblogging, RSS feeds and customizable banners, while keeping administration simple. The Sorce solution delivered a widely embraced, business‑critical intranet, produced a large increase in productivity and centralized document updates, and supported a campaign that signed up 80 employees and helped reach a £1m fundraising target — all with lower ongoing development overhead than building directly on SharePoint.
