Elevating Internal Communication for Business Experts

With accolades like being named a Top 100 Accounting Firm by Accounting Today and Inside Public Accounting, M&J has solidified its status as an industry leader.

Challenges

M&J had been relying on an in-house Google Sites intranet developed internally for several years. Despite its initial utility, the system began to show its limitations, especially given the constraints of Google Sites. The platform’s lack of out-of-the-box permission features led to a fragmented intranet, divided into multiple sub-sites, thereby complicating navigation. The dated design of the intranet also failed to represent the firm’s dynamic ethos. Additionally, there was a need for a more efficient way to manage evolving internal knowledge, such as employee directories and company handbooks.

Solution

Kelsie Deiter, the HR & Marketing Partner at M&J, spearheaded the initiative to modernize the intranet. She collaborated with key internal stakeholders to adopt Steegle’s Google Sites Refresh Service, supplemented by Steegle.One Tools. This approach allowed the firm to enhance user experience without resorting to an expensive new system, saving both time and resources. The existing infrastructure was repurposed and improved, serving as a foundation for the revamped platform.

Key Deliverables

• Strategic Advice: Steegle offered invaluable guidance on optimizing page layouts and enhancing navigation to improve user experience.

• Modern Design Overhaul: Steegle’s team fully revamped M&J’s intranet while retaining its core functionality, infusing new life into its design.

• Custom Graphic Design: Graphics tailored to M&J’s brand identity were crafted by Steegle.

• Seamless Handover: Steegle transferred full control of the updated site to M&J, empowering them to manage future updates independently.

Conclusion

The transformation of Mauldin & Jenkins’ intranet demonstrates how innovative technology solutions, paired with expert guidance, can redefine internal communication and data management. Their partnership with Steegle has set a new standard for intranet design and functionality, reflecting M&J’s commitment to innovation and excellence.
