We created GO Intranet to build on and enhance modern SharePoint’s capabilities. It’s made with the communicator in mind – to ensure their intranet has the features proven to meet the business needs of enterprise organizations and create a connected, collaborative workplace.

While out-of-the-box modern SharePoint has a lot to offer, it may fall short in some areas. We created this guide to point out the shortcomings and highlight key features internal communicators need and want in an intranet.

If you’re reviewing intranet requirements and want to create the best experience possible in SharePoint, check out this side-by-side comparison to explore GO's features across:

  • Intranet essentials
  • Events
  • App bar/Springboard
  • Employee recognition
  • Policies and procedures
  • Navigation
  • Search
  • Content authoring
  • Intranet management
  • Analytics
  • Mobile
  • Brand management

Download the feature list to understand the gaps and why you might want to enhance modern SharePoint with GO to create your next intranet.
