Viva Connections Deployment and Adoption: 2 Day Implementation

Even before Covid struck it was easy for us to feel adrift in a sea of information. The mass switch to remote working with Teams in the pandemic highlighted the need for a source of information that strikes the balance between relevance and accessibility, without adding to digital overwhelm.

Viva Connections helps you maximise the impact and effectiveness of your SharePoint Intranet by offering a curated, on-brand experience that brings together relevant news, conversations, and resources, to the apps and devices you use every day.

Transparity is one of the most highly accredited Microsoft partners in the UK, we have completed hundreds of Microsoft 365 projects for our growing base of enterprise customers, including McLaren, Hitachi Capital, BCP Council, and University Hospitals Dorset.
