The Challenge

Intrax recognized the need for a modern employee directory solution that was fast, easy to use and featured free text search and an appealing page design.
In search of a better solution, Intrax considered various options, ranging from SharePoint web parts to other employee directory solutions that integrated with Microsoft. They wanted a platform that could effectively address their needs while seamlessly integrating with their existing infrastructure.
“We were using a basic directory product in SharePoint, the UX was poor and we often got complaints from our staff” - Nigel Gou, CTO at Intrax Consulting Group.
