    Love it? Just buy the licence.

    If you trialled in your own tenant, everything you built stays. Your branding, pages, content, and configuration carry straight into your live intranet. No reinstall, no rebuilding, no starting over.

Choose your trial environment

We recommend trialling in your own tenant - it is the most realistic way to evaluate because you see Lightspeed365 working with your existing SharePoint content, news, and people profiles. Our sandbox is available if you prefer to explore first.

    Your Microsoft 365 tenant

    We set up Lightspeed365 on a test site within your tenant and connect it to your existing content - your news, your people profiles, your documents. You see the product working with real data, not sample content. This is a private test site. It is not visible to your employees and does not affect your live intranet. Only the people you invite will see it. Unlimited users. Installed via SharePoint app catalog. Nothing leaves your tenant. Removed cleanly if you do not proceed.

  • Our sandbox

    Explore the product in a pre-configured demo environment with sample content and branding. Useful if you want to see the product before involving your IT team or granting access to your tenant. 3-5 user accounts. Pre-populated with sample content.
