To increase its operational agility and serve its customers faster, new collaborative tools were needed. The company used a unique role-model change management framework to implement the latest Microsoft Office 365 solutions and onboard all company levels, witnessing an unprecedented rate of adoption in less than six months. Top to bottom, the organization enhanced internal and external communication through Microsoft Teams, building a digital culture and sense of community for its employees and clients.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Such rapid growth has made different communication tools unsustainable. \u2013\u00a0 Having several parallel email systems meant significant admin efforts. Real-time collaboration and establishing high-quality audio and video conferencing were also a challenge \u2013 explains <strong>Piotr Wieczorek,<\/strong> <strong>IT Infrastructure Department Manager<\/strong> <strong>at Sii Poland<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>To enhance internal communication and create a new work culture at scale, Sii implemented Microsoft Teams. Sii adopted Microsoft\u2019s curated change management approach, engaging all company levels through workshops, an internal ambassador program, and executive sponsorship. Although the implementation was the largest in Poland, the project took just a few months to pull off. \u2013 We built our Office 365 Ambassadors\u2019 Community with about 200 participants, including directors, managers, product owners, but also volunteer technology enthusiasts \u2013 says <strong>Ewa Jab\u0142o\u0144ska, Corporate Project Manager at Sii Poland.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Learn more about the project from<a href=\"https:\/\/customers.microsoft.com\/en-us\/story\/807638-sii-poland-professional-services-microsoft-teams-office365-poland\" rel=\"nofollow\" > a case study on the Microsoft website<\/a> and a movie in which Sii Poland employees talk about its details.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"A new dimension of communication and teamwork at Sii Poland\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4spZORNsfwY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since 2006, Sii Poland has grown from a one-person startup to a company that employs over 4 700 professionals.
