Origami Connect: A Smarter SharePoint Intranet
Our partners are central to our success. Together, we serve clients on their digital transformation journey. One of those partners is Origami Connect, a leading solution for building customized SharePoint intranets across multiple industries.
Microsoft SharePoint is already the market leader in intranet platforms, used by 80% of Fortune 100 companies. With its cloud features and user-friendly design, SharePoint is a trusted collaboration tool. But when organizations need deeper customization, Origami provides the answer.
Why Origami for SharePoint Intranet?
Out of the box, SharePoint offers many features, but custom development can be slow, costly, and complex. Origami Connect solves these challenges. It transforms standard SharePoint sites into modern intranets with pre-designed templates, built-in collaboration tools, and a focus on user experience.
Customers report a 70% increase in information findability, higher user adoption, and greater employee satisfaction. Origami’s templates combine functionality with a clean, consumer-grade design, making intranets easy to use without the expense of custom builds.
Key Features of Origami Connect
Enhanced search directory: Find forms and documents faster with AI-powered search that prioritizes the most recent and relevant files.
Employee engagement tools: Recognition boards, internal classifieds, and employee spotlights with “like” and comment features.
News and events: Featured news sliders, intelligent event rosters, and detailed articles keep staff informed and connected.
Idea and poll sites: Employees can submit ideas, vote on recommendations, and participate in quick opinion polls.
Department templates: Managers can customize SharePoint intranet pages with pre-built templates designed for different teams.
Origami also includes policy finders, forms centers, surveys, and project directories that make everyday work simpler.
Faster Deployment
Origami intranets can be deployed in Microsoft SharePoint Online or SharePoint 2016 in just days. This speed allows businesses to launch fully functioning intranets far faster than traditional custom builds.
More Than Templates
Microsoft provides SharePoint templates in its “look book.” While these templates are useful, most organizations need more flexibility. Research shows that over 80% of companies still require additional functionality. Origami goes further by combining templates with intelligent apps, AI-powered search, and Microsoft 365 integrations.
Office 365 Integration
Origami is built to get the best from Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365). Employees can:
Access documents and templates from SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams
Share and collaborate using Yammer and Teams integration
Personalize views of sites and channels for faster access
AI-powered search also separates official documents from drafts, giving employees instant access to the right version.
