Powell Intranet
Paris, France
What it is
Powell Intranet is an employee portal built on SharePoint for internal communication and engagement. It runs within an organization’s Microsoft 365 environment and is available on the web, Android, and iOS. Teams can publish news, build pages, target audiences, and provide an employee directory. Pages carry the organization’s colors, logo, and tone, while content adapts to employees’ languages and can be translated in real time, including tags and categories. Employees can see news, links, and tools relevant to their roles and locations. Conversational search returns permission-aware results and recognizes synonyms and acronyms. HR, IT, and communications teams can update pages themselves without an IT ticket. Other capabilities include desk and room booking, a live map with QR check-in, onboarding, recognition, and classifieds. The standard mobile app includes news, events, recent documents, and a people directory; branded enterprise deployment through MDM is a premium option requiring an additional license. Pricing is tailored to the company’s user count and provided by sales. Powell Software was founded in 2015 and is headquartered in Paris, France.
