Case Study: Kuopio City Council achieves a Microsoft 365- and Teams-compatible intranet and integrated workspaces with Valo Intranet & Valo Teamwork

Valo Intranet and Valo Teamwork Compatible with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams

Kuopio City Council, a Finnish municipal organisation, needed to replace a dated intranet with a Microsoft 365‑compatible platform that would also bring users’ workspaces into the intranet and integrate with Microsoft Teams. They selected Valo and deployed Valo Intranet together with Valo Teamwork to meet those requirements.

Valo (with implementation support from Blue Meteorite) installed Valo Intranet and Valo Teamwork on SharePoint so the intranet sits natively inside Microsoft Teams. The solution delivered a unified, mobile‑ready digital workplace (Valo’s Digital Workplace app saw a big increase in usage during the coronavirus period), easy-to-use site templates that let departments publish without IT, improved navigation and search, and a Valo Teamwork dashboard for finding and governing Teams. Valo’s Fresh subscription also reduced security and update burden for IT, improving overall manageability.
