Meridian International Center Boosts Collaboration & Efficiency with a Custom SharePoint Intranet

Meridian transformed its internal communications with a branded, dynamic intranet portal that streamlined content management and enabled seamless mobile access for its employees.

Overview

Meridian International Center, a leading nonprofit diplomacy center, required a modern intranet to replace its outdated system. They needed a platform that would enhance how their employees access information, collaborate, and communicate, all while reflecting their unique brand identity and moving beyond the standard, clunky SharePoint experience.

The Core Challenge & Our Strategic Approach

The Key Hurdles

Outdated Content Management: A static system that hindered effective content publishing and timely updates.

Poor User Experience: A generic interface that failed to reflect the Meridian brand and was difficult to navigate.

Inefficient Document Access: Disorganized storage made finding critical documents a time-consuming process.

Limited Mobility: Lack of mobile access prevented employees from staying connected while on-the-go.

The Implemented Solution

Dynamic Content Hub: Implemented a custom CMS on SharePoint for easy, non-technical content publishing.

Brand-Aligned Design: Developed a completely custom UI/UX that visually embodies Meridian's brand identity.

Restructured Information Architecture: Reorganized documents with metadata tagging for intuitive search and retrieval.
