Launching a New Intranet on Simpplr – Highlights from a Global Rollout (Dec 2024)

In preparation for a major corporate integration, I served as lead program manager for the successful launch of a new company-wide intranet using the Simpplr platform. This new intranet became the “single source of truth” on day one of a large-scale merger, serving over 6,000 global employees.

  • Managed complex project timelines and cross-functional communication, meeting aggressive deadlines under high visibility.
  • Worked closely with Simpplr’s implementation team and internal IT, meeting weekly to align on requirements, resolve technical challenges, and complete a successful go-live.
  • Partnered with 100+ subject matter experts across multiple business units to organize and publish over 200 pages of high-value content.
  • Created 20+ enablement videos and led live training sessions to onboard and empower intranet content editors.
  • Planned and executed the decommissioning of a legacy Google Sites intranet, ensuring content continuity and minimal disruption.
  • Drove adoption by aligning intranet goals with organizational priorities and fostering cross-departmental collaboration.
  • Produced six short video tutorials to help all employees quickly learn how to navigate and utilize the new Simpplr intranet platform.

Post-Launch Management & Enablement

  • Introduced internal newsletter functionality, creating two monthly templates for company-wide and people manager-specific communications.
  • Launched a weekly internal newsletter to boost visibility of company updates and increase intranet engagement.
