Case Study: STO Building Group achieves unified communications and tailored intranets with ThoughtFarmer

How STO Building Group equipped its 14 individual firms with their own unique intranet while streamlining corporate communications

STO Building Group, an engineering company with 14 firms and 54 offices, needed a more scalable internal communications platform than its existing SharePoint intranet. The old system lacked local autonomy and couldn’t easily support each firm’s unique content needs, while corporate communications relied too heavily on sending multiple emails.

ThoughtFarmer implemented the CONNECT intranet using ThoughtFarmer Groups, flexible design tools, a mobile app, and professional services to support a large SharePoint migration. The result was 85% adoption, more than 1 million total visits, over 2.5 million page views in the first year, a 46% increase in mobile app usage in year two, and an intranet that improved communication while preserving each firm’s identity.
