Red Energy Engages Employees with a New Social Platform
Red Energy launched a new intranet to unite three different brands inside the Snowy Hydro group.
The Challenge
Red Energy’s main wish was to create 1 team: 1 business, 3 brands.
As each brand had their own intranet, all operating on separate and outdated software, Red Energy struggled to communicate the same message consistently. Not all employees had access to all intranets and contributors often had to duplicate communications for each system.
The goal of the project was to ignite conversation and foster community.
Why LumApps
Red Energy had been interested in LumApps since 2015, however their infrastructure needed to be restructured beforehand. By 2017 Red Energy had become a G Suite business, so LumApps was an obvious fit.
Ultimately, LumApps was chosen for 6 main reasons:
- SaaS
Software as a service, no hardware, no hosting, no coding, READY-TO-GO - Roadmap Alignment
Aligns with Google product roadmap and Red Energy’s future directions to meet customer needs - G Suite integration
Out-of-the-box, full integration with G-Suite family of products - Security
Built using Google’s requirements for integration and meet Google’s standards for Security & Compliance - Speed to market
Quick deployment in just a few months - Chosen by Google
Recommended and chosen by Google for corporate communications and social sharing capabilities.
Benefits
Campfire brought employees from 3 different brands together as one group, providing more consistent communications across the business. The new intranet communicates everything to everyone, in a format that’s engaging and interesting, with the ability for employees to follow interests.
