CIPS Intranet Project - CIPSNet

During 2010 PSP were asked by CIPS to design and develop a new Intranet within Microsoft SharePoint 2010 replacing their existing Intranet. Our project team worked alongside various CIPS staff members to create a fully functional Intranet suitable for all departments of the business which allowed the organisation to move away from its dependency on shared drives. Essential functionality included booking facilities with workflows incorporated into the system.

PSP facilitated CIPS’ transition from their legacy system to Microsoft SharePoint by conducting a comprehensive review of the existing intranet. A clear migration plan was established, identifying content to be transferred and elements to be removed. Following this, detailed discussions with CIPS confirmed the required functionality for the new site. PSP produced a detailed functional specification, emphasising key features such as booking facilities for cars and rooms, complete with tailored workflows to streamline operations.

From 2011 to 2012, CIPSNet underwent multiple upgrades to align with CIPS’ evolving needs.

The intranet underwent a significant redesign to reflect branding changes and enhance its visual and functional appeal. PSP integrated new plugins and sub-sites, including The KPI Tracker (a .Net plugin using RAG identifiers for customer service performance monitoring), The Project Zone (for internal project management documentation), and InfoNet (with bespoke templates to improve staff knowledge).
