Reach the right employees with the right message
Target news and updates by department, location, or role - not a one-size-fits-all homepage blast.
Your SharePoint intranet,
built for internal comms
Native SharePoint gives you the building blocks, but turning them into an internal comms platform takes more than most teams have time for. Lightspeed365 bridges that gap.
What your comms team should be able to do with SharePoint
Know what's working and prove it to leadership
Engagement data that goes beyond page views - so you can report with confidence, not anecdotes.
Deliver news where employees already work
Meet people in Microsoft Teams instead of fighting for attention in crowded inboxes.
Publish and update content without a support ticket
Your comms team owns publishing. IT sets up the platform once - then steps back.
Make it easy for employees to find what they need
Policies, forms, and answers surfaced through search and structured content - fewer "where do I find?" messages.
Look and feel like your business on every device
Branded design on desktop and mobile so the intranet feels official, not like default SharePoint.
Reach the right employees with targeted news and communications
- Audience-targeted news feeds — SharePoint's native news is limited. Lightspeed365 adds extended news layouts, hero carousels, category filters, and audience targeting using your existing Entra ID groups - so global updates and department news can coexist on the same page without everyone seeing everything.
- How does SharePoint news targeting work with Lightspeed365? — You publish news through Lightspeed365's news feed web part and assign audience groups from Entra ID - department, location, role, or any group your IT team already maintains. Employees see the news relevant to them on the homepage and in department hubs. Alerts can surface urgent items on the pages they visit. No separate targeting system to manage - it uses the identity structure you already have.
Deliver news through Teams instead of email
- Intranet inside Microsoft Teams — Email overload is the enemy of internal comms. Lightspeed365 surfaces your full intranet inside Microsoft Teams on desktop and mobile - the app most businesses already deploy. Pin it to the Teams rail and news is one tap away.
- How does intranet news delivery work through Microsoft Teams? — The Lightspeed365 Teams app gives employees the same branded intranet experience inside Teams - news feeds, department pages, people search, and self-service content. Comms teams publish once in SharePoint; employees read in Teams or on the web. Pair with push notifications (Premium) to reach device lock screens for urgent updates without adding another comms channel to manage.
Prove the intranet is working with data your board will believe
- Engagement analytics beyond page views — SharePoint's built-in site analytics cover traffic. Comms teams need depth - which content resonates, where employees drop off, and whether adoption is growing. Lightspeed365 integrates with Microsoft Clarity for heatmaps, scroll depth, session recordings, and content performance trends.
- How do you measure intranet engagement and prove ROI? — Clarity dashboards show which news articles, policy pages, and department hubs get real attention - not just clicks. Track engagement trends over time, identify content that needs refreshing, and build the evidence pack for leadership conversations. Combine with SharePoint site analytics for a complete picture of intranet health and internal communications performance.

Publish and manage content without waiting for IT
- Editorial control for comms teams — Pre-built page templates, a familiar SharePoint editing experience, and configuration video guides mean your comms team can publish branded news, department pages, and campaign hubs without raising a ticket. IT installs the platform and manages permissions - comms owns the content.
- How does intranet content management work for comms teams? — Lightspeed365 page templates give comms a professional starting point for homepages, news hubs, and department sites. The content editor is native SharePoint - no code, no developer. Audience targeting, content scheduling, and news layouts are configured through the admin dashboard and web part settings. Every licence includes step-by-step video guides for every web part, built for content editors rather than IT.
Help employees find policies, forms, and answers without asking
- Self-service that reduces noise in comms inboxes — When employees cannot find the right policy or form, they email comms instead. Lightspeed365 adds AI-powered search, the handbook web part, and floating search scoped to specific content types - so the intranet answers the question before it becomes a message.
- How does AI search improve internal communications? — AI search lets employees ask questions in natural language and get answers from across your SharePoint environment - policies, how-to guides, news, and people profiles. Results are permission-trimmed so employees only see what they are allowed to access. Fewer repeat questions to comms, faster answers for employees, and a measurable reduction in "where do I find?" traffic.
Let employees subscribe to the content that matters to them
Not every employee needs every update. The Subscriptions premium app lets employees opt into news channels and topics they care about - department news, wellbeing, product updates, or location-specific announcements. Comms teams publish to channels; employees personalise their own feed. Less noise, higher relevance, and engagement that reflects genuine interest rather than inbox fatigue.
Brand your intranet so it feels like your business
An intranet that looks like default SharePoint undermines trust in what comms publishes. Lightspeed365's branding customiser gives you control over typography, colours, navigation, and layouts across every page. Your intranet looks and feels like an official company channel - consistent on desktop, mobile, and inside Teams.
Reach frontline and remote workers without a separate app
- Mobile intranet through Teams — Warehouse teams, care workers, retail staff, and field employees rarely sit at a desk. Lightspeed365 delivers the full intranet through the Microsoft Teams mobile app - no new app to download, no separate login, no additional deployment for IT.
- How do you communicate with frontline workers through SharePoint? — Frontline workers access news, policies, and people search through Teams on the device they already carry. Comms publishes targeted news to the groups that matter; push notifications (Premium) reach employees who do not check the intranet daily. One employee communications platform across office, remote, and frontline - without building a separate frontline app.

Give every new starter a consistent onboarding experience
First impressions matter. Lightspeed365 page templates let comms and HR build structured onboarding hubs - role-targeted welcome content, key policies, team introductions, and where-to-find guides. The built-in intranet tour walks new starters through navigation on their first visit. Every employee in a cohort gets the same experience, without a chain of welcome emails that get lost in the inbox.
