Brief Connect (Briefing and Correspondence Platform): 6-Month Implementation

We designed Brief Connect to tackle the complex challenges of briefing and correspondence within government departments.

Brief Connect is a modern workflow and approvals platform, co-designed with our government department partners, that streamlines the briefing and correspondence process.

Briefings can be created, tracked and approved all in one place, with an interactive and personal dashboard.

Brief Connect enables users to easily create and share reports, manage workflows and their own security model across different product types. Records can have the appropriate levels of access, and control can be given back to departments, to determine and update access where required. Brief Connect is built on top of Microsoft 365, utilising the powerful document management in SharePoint Online and Azure Entra ID security controls.

Our project team will work with you and your stakeholders to run this project following agile principles and deliver it through two key phases. 

These will cover Discovery, Build and Deployment, and Change and Adoption.

1. Discovery
The discovery phase helps us to understand how your employees are managing briefings today, from here we can develop your vision for the future state of briefing and correspondence management. This phase will equip you with an implementation roadmap, which will enable you to make an informed decision as to the upcoming implementation.

2. Build and Deployment
Throughout the build and development phase we’ll work in partnership with you and your stakeholders to develop your solution, test it, and deploy to production.

3. Change and Adoption
 We will support the launch of the application as much or as little as you need us to though our change and adoption phase. We’ll also be there to support the transition to your technical teams, to enable them to continue driving efficiencies by maintaining the application.
