The Challenge
Imerys’ Digital Transformation
In 2018, Imerys started a global digital transformation. Imerys’ previous intranet was top-down and static, using legacy software. Information was hard to find and collaboration was impossible. With the migration from Lotus Notes and Microsoft Office to G Suite, Imerys looked for an intranet solution to reflect and support their digital transformation.
The goal was to design an online environment that:
- complemented Imerys’ newly launched digital ecosystem
- brought all relevant information together in one place
- encouraged employees to collaborate and share knowledge
A Solid, Reliable, Trustworthy, and Useful Platform” Whilst Imerys was moving from a decentralized to a more centralized organization, having a single digital communications tool was paramount to ensure our transformation’s success. Two years on, our OneImerys intranet has proven to be a solid, reliable, trustworthy, and useful platform for our employees on a day-to-day basis. It has also enabled us to be timely, engaging, and creative in our employee communication.
Imerys and LumApps
Imerys and LumApps worked together to create a single digital workplace to connect all employees around the world in just under six months. Fully integrated with G Suite, the platform simplifies access to group-wide content and news, social discussions, and business communities. Imerys’ intranet, named OneImerys, is a global and unique place for employees to find information and receive timely news and updates.
Amidst a fast-paced and transforming digital environment, the LumApps platform offers flexibility to adapt to the company’s organizational structure, business functions, and changes. Imerys now has the ability to not only deliver vertical, top-down communications, but also enable bottom-up feedback and horizontal exchanges.
