The project

We were asked to migrate a new intranet for ABB Switzerland Turbocharging on the basis of SharePoint. The aim was to develop a new, innovative intranet, taking into account the company's history and the desired features.

The project - ABB Turbocharging - innobit ag

We asked Thiago Alvarez Bertelli, Project Manager at ABB, 5 questions about this:

Thiago Alvarez Bertelli
We chose innobit because of their expertise and experience in SharePoint and Office365. It was important for us to get a market overview with best practices and state-of-the-art solutions in advance. innobit provided us with exactly that. Our future partner should also have the ability to respond to our very specific needs and proactively deliver ideas. Our goal: to develop a new, innovative intranet, taking into account our history and the desired features.

Thiago Alvarez Bertelli
During the proof of concept, we tried out several solutions, but nothing convinced us. But nothing convinced us. innobit offered us a great alternative with an out-of-the-box solution that met all our requirements. The advantage of the innobit solution is that we work with standard tools and have not designed any extra tools. We wanted to keep the effort as low as possible. innobit respected exactly these wishes. The solution from innobit ag makes maintenance and future migrations easier for us.

Thiago Alvarez Bertelli
The first talks started about a year ago. The proof of concept lasted three months. Total project duration: 6 months.

In addition to technical know-how, it was also important for us to have good business skills. We wanted a company with which we could build a partnership and a long-term, trusting relationship. This was decisive in the selection process. With innobit AG, we have definitely found the right company.

There were no major problems during the project. We had a fixed budget and wanted to carry out the project in an agile and dynamic way. That's why there were some adjustments at the beginning. innobit handled this challenge very well and flexibly. We were informed almost daily with short status calls and always knew what the next steps were and what the budget status was. We really appreciated this transparency.

Thiago Alvarez Bertelli
innobit ag has a lot of technical knowledge and also knows how to look after customers properly. This know-how gave me the feeling that the innobit project managers always knew exactly what to do and what the best practices were. We were always offered solutions that were best for us. We really appreciated innobit's flexibility. The crew always adapted to our needs or changed the way of working according to our standards and definitions.
