A Customer Case Study




BP — Planet BP North American Intranet
Challenge
Company servers were inundated with broadcast emails, many with critical communications. Important communications went unread because they were lost in the clutter.
Solution
The Web Department built a custom database-driven, content managed intranet shared by multiple North American regions. It enables an unlimited number of administrators to easily schedule and manage region-specific company news and information for the home page portal, news kiosk, calendar, employee classifieds, calendar and other resource pages.

Result
The streamlined process greatly increased workflow efficiency.

The Website proved so effective that several other North American BP regional businesses came on board following its initial launch.

The Web Department was asked to build several new features for Planet BP, including a custom blog titled Dialogue, that enabled then BP America President Bob Malone to communicate with all American employees and contractors. A North America and region-specific newsletter builder titled Round-Up, and a custom television display package that enables Planet BP editors to display Planet BP on the BP internal television network, which is displayed in multiple campuses and other facilities throughout North America.

Since its initial debut the intranet has proven to be a huge success. In 2005 Planet BP was honored with a IABC Bronze Quill Award for excellence in communications. In late 2006 Bob Malone's blog Dialogue was featured in an article in The Financial Times of London (ft.com).

Planet BP provides comprehensive, up to date news and information for tens of thousands of employees across North America.
