Targeted publishing by role, location and language with audiences further filtered on user profile properties; notifications go to mail, mobile, Teams and the intranet, can be scheduled, and news also lands on workshop and cafeteria screens through Involv Cast. Mandatory reading with read confirmation, push notifications for urgent updates and reach per post in Involv Analytics are all documented. We found no public information on login for staff without a company email address or Microsoft licence, and community membership is documented to require an Exchange mailbox — for my 2,500 colleagues without a licence that is the whole ballgame. 1 4 5 8

This is a real CMS on our own SharePoint: drag-and-drop pages, document management with version control, a Who's Who directory with organization chart, multilingual content, and AI search that mixes people and content and reaches OneDrive. Content Intelligence scores page health, flags outdated content and dead links, assigns ownership, and content expiration is documented — exactly the lifecycle discipline my last SharePoint project died without. We found no public information on automatic translation of posts and pages into named languages, offline reading, or an accessibility standard stated for content. 1 6 7 12

Communities are Microsoft 365 group sites with public or private joining and owner approval, comments and an Ideation feature exist, and the onboarding module is deep: a preboarding status before the invitation, tasks built from File, Video, Sign, Text, ToDo and Form steps, tracked from Not Started to Completed. We found no public information on employee surveys or pulse checks, anonymity rules, recognition or moderation rules, so listening rests on communities and ideas rather than measured feedback. 6 8 9

There is a published data processing agreement under Belgian law, deletion periods stated per data category, pseudonymised product telemetry the customer can have disabled on request, AI opt-out at tenant and user level, and an accessibility mode with contrast and text spacing. But we found no public information on a works-agreement template, quiet hours, or how use on private phones works, and the analytics centre is captured naming top authors, top contributors and top creators — individual figures with no stated minimum group size, which is the first thing a works council will ask about. 3 6 10 11

This is the architecture I keep asking vendors for: it runs entirely in our own Microsoft 365 tenant on our SharePoint with nothing hosted externally, users and permissions come from Active Directory with AD security groups, every site keeps its own Owners, Members and Visitors, the whole intranet opens as a tab inside Teams, and Power BI, the SharePoint API, Microsoft Graph and an open API for third-party apps are all named. Because storage stays in our SharePoint, the content remains ours when a contract ends. We found no public information on SCIM, webhooks or a product audit log, and no documented provisioning for staff without a Microsoft licence — the pages state community membership requires an Exchange mailbox. 1 8 12 13

Cognit BV in Belgium is the contracting party for the published DPA (the legal notice separately names Conversal BV, also Belgian, as provider), all service personal data sits in our own Microsoft 365 tenant with the geography set by our tenant configuration, AI features run through our own Azure OpenAI in the Azure EU data boundary by default, and a sub-processor list with locations, 30-day change notice and objection right is published. Meta Pixel, Microsoft Clarity and Referly sit in the USA under Data Privacy Framework certification, serving the vendor's website and marketing rather than the intranet itself. We found no public information on ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certifications. 2 3 10 12

No per-user or per-employee price is published on the pages we captured; the only pricing signal is the QuickStart, described as a clearly defined package with a fixed scope and price, with no figure given, alongside a free 30-minute demo. We found no public information on what the mobile app, Involv Cast or Involv AI modules cost, nor on minimum seats, term, setup fees or VAT treatment, so I cannot compute an annual cost for 4,000 staff from public pages. 1 2 12
