Written by Samantha Cordell | February 28, 2022

Introducing Together by Powell Software, a full-featured and exciting intranet space to communicate and collaborate, designed specifically for SMEs.

Intranets are a great communication tool to keep employees connected and engaged, even enabling more effective collaboration. They act as a portal to share important internal business news, HR policies and onboarding processes, and are a valuable tool for driving a stand out employee experience and culture in the age of the remote workforce.
