SharePoint Online is already in your Microsoft 365 subscription, and it gives you the foundations of an intranet: sites for news and company pages, hub sites to hold the structure together, Microsoft Search, and access through Teams on desktop and mobile. Nothing new to buy, nothing new to host.
What it does not give you is a finished intranet. SharePoint is a platform rather than a product, so branding, personalisation, audience targeting and content governance are all things you build on top. That gap is why organisations beyond about 100 employees usually end up adding something.
Lightspeed365 is what we built to close it. Read the complete guide to SharePoint intranets →
SharePoint is powerful, but it was not designed to be an intranet. We have been helping businesses close that gap for over 20 years. Almost a quarter of the businesses we speak to say findability is their biggest challenge. Another quarter say governance. These are the themes that come up most often.
Policies, guides, forms, and contacts are scattered across sites and folders. Employees ask colleagues instead of searching because they do not trust they will find the right version. This is consistently the most common challenge we hear.
The experience feels dated, generic, or disconnected from day-to-day work. No personalisation, no mobile access, no reason to visit. Employees default to email or Teams and the intranet becomes a place people are sent to, not somewhere they choose to go.
The intranet works, but it looks like default SharePoint. No branding, no personality, no reason for employees to trust it as an official company channel. These are often the quickest wins - a licence and some better web parts can transform the experience without a full rebuild.
Internal teams are stuck with too much admin and too little momentum. A simple news article becomes a bottleneck. Comms and HR need to publish, target, and manage content without relying on IT or waiting in a queue.
Structure, permissions, and content consistency break down as more teams start publishing. Nobody owns the information architecture and every department builds their own corner. The need for control without friction comes up just as often as findability.
Leadership wants adoption data and you have page views and little else. This is the gap that kills intranet investment. Without real engagement metrics, it is impossible to make the case for continued budget or further improvement.
Built by the SharePoint consultants who deliver it Content Formula is the Microsoft 365 consultancy behind Lightspeed365 - designing and improving intranets for over 20 years. Our product roadmap comes from real deployment insight. Every project makes the product smarter for the next business.
Employees find the content, people, and tools they need without hunting. AI-powered search, structured people search, and intuitive navigation - so asking a colleague stops being the fastest route to an answer.
Personalised content, rich news feeds, and mobile access through Teams. The intranet becomes somewhere employees choose to go, not somewhere they are sent.
Your intranet should look like your business, not like default SharePoint. Lightspeed365 applies your brand identity across every page and web part.
Comms and HR teams publish and target content without waiting for IT. Branded templates, audience targeting, and a familiar editing experience so your team spends time on content, not formatting.
Admin dashboards, structured templates, and clear content ownership bring consistency as the intranet grows. More control for the people who manage it, less friction for the people who use it.
Integration with Microsoft Clarity gives you real engagement dashboards - content performance, user journeys, and adoption trends. Show leadership the numbers, not anecdotes.
Whether you need a quick refresh or a complete rebuild, Lightspeed365 fits both paths. Every licence includes install, configuration guides, and a customer success call.
