Identifying the Need for Unified Internal Communication and Collaboration Tools

The organization faces challenges in ensuring all employees across 24 international locations have a shared understanding of company goals, activities, and achievements. Existing communication channels such as intranet portals are insufficient for timely, engaging, and widespread information sharing, especially for remote or mobile employees. This results in siloed information, reduced engagement, and limited collaboration opportunities globally.

About the Client

A global company with multiple offices worldwide seeking to enhance internal communication and collaboration among employees across different locations and departments.

Goals for Enhancing Internal Communication and Community Engagement

  • Create a unified, accessible mobile application that enables employees to share news, updates, and collaborative content seamlessly across all locations.
  • Increase employee engagement and connectivity within the organization, targeting over 1,000 users across multiple countries.
  • Facilitate real-time information exchange through social feeds, notifications, and commenting features.
  • Integrate with existing corporate systems such as social media accounts and internal portals for a cohesive user experience.
  • Improve internal transparency, collaboration efficiency, and organizational alignment.

Core Functionalities for the Corporate Social Networking Mobile App

  • Rich social feed displaying news, updates, and posts with multimedia support
  • Integration with social media accounts (e.g., Instagram) to display latest posts
  • Push notifications to alert users about news, activities, and organizational updates
  • News filtering and customization based on user profiles such as department, location, or role
  • Commenting, liking, disliking, subscribing to posts, and managing comments
  • User profile viewing and search capabilities by name, phone number, department, etc.
  • Tab-based navigation for easy access to news, profiles, and collaboration tools
  • Mobile-friendly, attractive, and intuitive user interface design

Essential System Integrations for Seamless Functionality

  • Social media platforms (e.g., Instagram) for media feed synchronization
  • Internal enterprise portals or content management systems for news and updates
  • Push notification services to deliver real-time alerts

Critical Non-Functional System Requirements

  • Scalability to support over 1,000 concurrent users with smooth performance
  • High availability and reliability to ensure continuous access
  • Data security and privacy compliance, protecting internal and personal information
  • User-friendly and responsive UI design for an optimal mobile experience
  • Maintainability and ease of updates with minimal downtime

Projected Business Benefits and Success Metrics

The new mobile application is expected to significantly enhance internal communication, improve employee engagement, and foster a collaborative community across all locations. Achieving a user adoption rate exceeding 80% within the first six months, the organization will benefit from increased transparency, faster information dissemination, and more effective teamwork, ultimately contributing to organizational goals and cultural cohesion.
