The document discusses how businesses can keep up with growth through transformation. It provides an example of a nonprofit called FedCap that implemented a digital workplace using LiveTiles to accommodate rapid expansion across new offices. Tips are given for developing a business through awareness of trends, strategic spending, understanding customer needs, testing solutions, having an information strategy, partnering with trusted advisors, and thinking big but starting small. LiveTiles is introduced as a platform that can bring all content into a common experience and empower users to evolve it as a business changes.

Everyday, your business is
developing and transforming (and hopefully
growing). New clients, new offices, new
customers, new employees and new
technologies to take advantage of; it truly
never ends. While your business develops and
transforms, you need ways to keep up with it.
You need a way to keep all your ducks in a
row, so to speak. This article will focus on a
expanding business that adopted a new digital
workplace to accommodate it’s growing
popularity, and also explain some ways to help
your business develop and transform,

and Image Management (AIIM).

is an organization dedicated to helping the infirm or disabled overcome their obstacles and
obtain financial independence through various means. In the last few years, FedCap has been
growing rapidly, moving from only a few locations around New York City to offices throughout
the Northeast corridor serving approximately 80,000 people. They needed an intranet to help
deal with the growth and integrate employees to promote collaboration. First they tried a
traditional venture with hardware and servers that cost a lot of money that they didn’t have.
Then FedCap used LiveTiles to create an intranet that worked for them and cost less. The
LiveTiles intranet pictured below features an integrated Yammer feed used to ease
communication in the digital workplace.

Now that you’ve heard a real-life success story, here’s a few tips
from the AIIM, which holds a conference every year at various locations around the world. They released this eBook that
has 21 different techniques for dealing with business development and transformation, as well as input from some of the
top leaders in the industry. The following are some of the better suggestions and what they mean.
7. info@livetiles.nyc @LiveTilesUI www.livetiles.nyc 7info@livetiles.nyc @LiveTilesUI www.livetiles.nyc
1. “Know where the puck is going:” Be aware of what is happening in your field of business and be ready to adjust if
new technology or new needs arise.
2. “Think business, not fashion:” Spend your money strategically, on things you’ll actually need, not just because they
look cool and everyone else is using it.
3. “One size does not fit all:” Just because one type of tech works for a company doesn’t mean it will work for yours.

Transformation Strategy
8. info@livetiles.nyc @LiveTilesUI www.livetiles.nyc 8info@livetiles.nyc @LiveTilesUI www.livetiles.nyc 8
1. “Not all customers will immediately love the idea of disruptive change:” You need to educate your
customers on using new technologies that save you money.
2. “If you can’t measure it, don’t do it:” If you can’t measure the benefits that a new technology will bring
to your business, don’t use it.
3. “Plan that when you fail (and you will fail) you do so quickly:” Don’t worry about getting it right the first
time, worry about getting something in place that can be evaluated.
Preparing for Action
9. info@livetiles.nyc @LiveTilesUI www.livetiles.nyc 9info@livetiles.nyc @LiveTilesUI www.livetiles.nyc 9
1. “A unified information strategy is not a luxury:” Going forward with your business cannot be a job left half
done; having a strategy is imperative.
2. “Find a trusted partner that will listen and is excited about your journey:” Get to know the core values of the
companies you’re interviewing to help you with your transformation; go with one that believes in you and wants you
to succeed.
3. “Think big, start small, grow steadily:” Find a small project that shows proof of concept and potential ROI; it
shows good resource management and will get commitment for other projects.

businesses. With long roots in the industry, and millions of users, Skype
