WACKER: enhancing collaboration with a user-centric intranet

From scientists to engineers, WACKER’s workforce is comprised of experts that have set the enterprise apart as a pioneer of modern chemistry for more than 100 years. To pave the way for the next century of innovative work, WACKER replaced their SharePoint intranet with GLOBE; a user-centric employee experience platform that reimagines collaboration across the enterprise and its extended network of partners.

WACKER - an international chemical company headquartered in Munich - came to Unily seeking to improve internal communication and collaboration for 35k employees and external partners. The enterprise wished to replace a legacy SharePoint intranet with a modern employee experience platform that could drive digital transformation.

Goals for the platform included:

Replace WACKER's legacy SharePoint platform with a user-centric intranet
Enhance collaboration by creating a portfolio that catalogs WACKER's services and expertise
Level up productivity with a unified search experience that puts key knowledge at every user's fingertips
Support knowledge sharing throughout WACKER's extended network of partners

GLOBE is a finely crafted, user-centric solution that intimately serves the needs of employees across all functions. The solution is a showcase of Unily's adaptable framework, with 'The Portfolio' at the center. The Portfolio is a catalog of all the internal services WACKER's departments have to offer and has become employees' go-to hub for knowledge, enabling the business to optimize its internal resources and drive increased efficiency.

"GLOBE embodies the future of workplace collaboration. It’s no longer about who’s in the room with you or even who’s on your team, Instead, Wacker employees now have their entire extended network at their fingertips, through a platform that was designed by their workforce and for their workforce."
