The project
Dr. Willmar Schwabe GmbH und Co. KG commissioned IPI to build a Modern Intranet portal with a start page (including development). At the time of the project, it was one of IPI’s first SharePoint Online portals to use the new SharePoint “Communication Sites” in the “Modern” design. The project was not without its challenges. There were very limited customizing options to implement the design and layout. In addition, a hubsite-like construct but without SharePoint hubsite features was desired. This construct is completely compatible with the new standards as it “grew” with them.
