read more"Unily fit our vision and met our strict security protocols on the backend. We’re very excited to be working with Unily to design an intranet that will enable our employees to feel more connected."
read more"Before Unily, our digital workplace was essentially useless. No one went there for anything, and it was not used as a communication channel at all. Because of this, we had no way to get content out to employees who needed it, and it took employees 50% longer to find the information they needed to get their job done – if they could find it at all. This led to people going to ‘who they knew’ rather than getting the official information from the intranet."
read more"Unily has great search capabilities, contemporary design, is viewable on any device and soon will allow us to reach employees in our distribution centers, labs, and transport networks for the first time. It’s a real game changer for us."
read more"The Unily platform allows our employees to access relevant content more quickly, choose how and when they stay informed and take advantage of opportunities to collaborate more effectively with colleagues."
read more"Unily enables colleagues to stay up to date, share knowledge and collaborate, and ultimately helps us work smarter as we seek to continue to innovate and grow as a business."
read more"Working closely with Unily, we were able to design and implement an intranet solution that has improved usability, accessibility and navigation for our employees across the country."
read more"Since we started using the Broadcast Center for our global newsletter, our team’s ROI has improved significantly. It used to take 20-30 hours per week to produce our newsletter, but now, with the Broadcast Center's ability to link intranet articles, we've reduced creation time by 80%. From August to October 2024, our click rate increased by 12% compared to last year. This shows the substantial benefits of the Broadcast Center in driving more traffic and connecting email and intranet content."

Microsoft offers many tools and applications that can be used in unison with, or adjacent to, an intranet, but it does not offer an intranet itself. Microsoft intranet software likely refers to Microsoft SharePoint - an application that allows its users to create an intranet site of their own. Essentially, it equips users with a tool to build a Microsoft intranet platform as opposed to an independent intranet.
There are many independent intranets available for enterprises. Unily is one such intranet that affords seamless access to Microsoft 365. It acts as an independent Microsoft intranet solution, letting employees access files from OneDrive, or collaborate in real-time with colleagues on PowerPoint and Word.
Microsoft SharePoint can be useful when building an intranet solution. It can be used by organizations that wish to create their own intranet sites and also operates as a document management platform. SharePoint also facilitates internal communication, document sharing, and collaboration among employees.
However, it is not a complete intranet solution, as it is often unable to improve employee engagement. SharePoint is first and foremost a document management and storage system. An independent intranet like Unily can build on everything that SharePoint offers, while also providing a central hub where employees can connect.

- Excel

The difference between Microsoft 365 and Office 365 lies in their naming and terminology. Although the suite of productivity tools is essentially the same, Microsoft 365 is the newer branding, encompassing all the functionalities of Office 365. Therefore, both options offer applications like SharePoint Online, which enable users to build and host intranet sites.
The shift from Office 365 to Microsoft 365 signifies a broader vision for the suite, expanding its scope beyond traditional office applications. Since they are the same thing, both Microsoft 365 and Office 365 are invaluable in the creation of an intranet solution. Enterprise intranets like Unily integrate with this software, helping organizations get the most out of their investment in Microsoft.
Office 365 is a name used to refer to an older version of Microsoft 365. It features some applications that are useful when creating an intranet. Microsoft SharePoint, part of the Microsoft 365 suite, is one such tool. Users can customize the layout, design, and branding of their intranet. They can also organize content, enable collaboration features, and configure security settings.
Independent intranets like Unily can be used to create a single hub that encompasses everything. These solutions create a type of Office 365 intranet that allows users to switch effortlessly between every application.
SharePoint can be easily integrated with Unily to create a Microsoft Office 365 intranet solution. Unily picks and chooses the best parts of SharePoint to create an intuitive and easy-to-navigate user experience that promotes employee engagement. Employees can search through their SharePoint documents and libraries with ease.
However, while Unily can integrate with Microsoft 365, and by extension SharePoint, it is completely independent. This means it can integrate with certain other systems that enterprises may already have in use.
