The document discusses whether intranets are still relevant and how organizations can transition their intranets to Office 365. It notes that while the traditional intranet model is falling behind, organizations' needs for internal communication and collaboration remain the same. It then outlines several ways to build an intranet in Office 365, including using SharePoint collaboration sites, communication sites, publishing sites, and Microsoft Teams channels. It recommends choosing a partner to help with the transition and ensuring change management and user adoption are prioritized.

THE INTRANET IS DEAD!
“The Intranet is being slowly pushed aside by the
Modern Workplace empowered by Office 365.”
- @jasoosterveld
“As companies begin to embrace
the cloud, mobile apps, enterprise
social and big data and analytics
the role of the traditional intranet
or employee portal is somewhat
falling behind.”
- LiveTiles
“The intranet is still very much the go-to
dumping ground for an Internal Comms
teams”
- @flackhackjack
“There was a time when an intranet was
the best possible solution for internal
communication.”
- Tom Petrocelli in CMSWire

An intranet is a private network accessible only to an
organization's staff….
A company-wide intranet can constitute an important focal
point of internal communication and collaboration,
and provide a single starting point to access internal and
external resources.
