Antwerp Fire Brigade: LumApps Intranet makes the spark fly
The Challenge
Together with g-company,we analyzed the use of our outdated intranet and asked our colleagues about their expectations. We have extracted crucial information from this for the perfect architecture of Vonk.
The Solution
Antwerp Fire Brigade already was a customer of g-company, for Google Workspace. For the renewal of their intranet, BZA chose LumApps, because it primarily looks at the structure of an organization and places the social environment on top of it. This working method is most in line with the organizational structure and the wishes of BZA.
Every customer has ideas about what they want with an intranet, this was also the case at BZA. It is important that those ideas are structured because you start out completely blank. g-company played an important role in this, by asking some of the key questions at the beginning. What exactly do you need? How should it work? What should it look like? Who can see what? What do you want to achieve?
Based on these questions, the ideas were converted into a concrete design that g-company implemented together with BZA.
On the back end, in terms of IT, g-company made sure that the Google admin part connects seamlessly with LumApps. In this way, for example, Lumapps uses the same rights structure as Google Workspace and you get access to certain parts on the intranet based on your Google Groups memberships.
The third aspect that g-company helped with is the graphic design, in which a graphic framework has been placed on top of the LumApps environment, to meet the desired branding.
Usually, g-company also trains the end users after implementation, to help them get to know and use the new intranet. However, BZA has chosen to do this training internally, something that we only encourage since the organization has to carry it itself after all.
To make our LumApps product completely our own, we have added a design layer together with g-company. The look-and-feel of Vonk is now really on fire!
