Deakin University launches Intranet built on LiveTiles

Deakin University have just launched their new intranet built on LiveTiles.

Here’s an excerpt of the story over on Microsoft’s Education blog:


Deakin employs close to 10,000 people spread across 188 departments, who use multiple different applications, who write reports, policies and documents. Deakin Hub is designed to collate that material and make it accessible.

The University has built the first iteration of the intranet using SharePoint Online and LiveTiles’ Wizdom Intelligent Intranet software. LiveTiles’ Wizdom platform was used to prioritise and organise Deakin’s information; integrate all content into a single corporate dashboard; and capture and consolidate news and information from 188 teams.

Deakin collaborated with Engaged Squared on the design and deployment using Microsoft Teams to run the project.

Using trusted and established platforms – SharePoint and Wizdom – as the foundations for Deakin Hub means that the focus has been on configuring a solution rather than building a bespoke system which would not have been as sustainable or scalable over the long term.
