MODERN INTRANET & CHANGE MANAGEMENT

A leading accounting and advisory firm in the U.S., with over 3,000 employees in 49 offices across the country, providing accounting, risk management, technology, wealth management, and forensic and valuation consulting services to businesses, government entities, not-for-profit organizations and individuals around the world. With the goal of retiring outdated technology and improving customer and employee collaboration, leaders kick-started their workplace modernization with Microsoft Teams then moved to the next phase of their cloud migration journey, a modern intranet. Calling on trusted digital transformation partner, Valorem Reply, firm leaders worked alongside cloud experts to quickly architect and deploy their custom SharePoint Intranet to support over 60 product lines and migrate over 1MM mission critical, backend customer documents without impacting business operations.

We choose Valorem Reply as a partner in our digital transformation, not only because of their technical expertise, but also their organizational alignment with our values and culture. We knew this would be invaluable in helping our blended teams drive timeline and deliverables on our modern intranet and ensure success in the adoption and change management solutions Valorem provided.
We’ve had a great experience working with the Valorem Reply team. They brought the experience and expertise that we needed and helped us think through making good long-term decisions rather taking the easy path to project completion. The professionalism and teamwork of their consultants made them stand out in comparison to other IT consultants I've worked with in the past.
