60% reduction in review and approval cycle time
Opportunity
A global Food & Beverage conglomerate faced recurring inefficiencies in launching public-facing SharePoint pages developed by local agencies across different regions. Despite strong global brand standards, the client saw an opportunity to tighten control over locally produced SharePoint marketing pages. Agency-built sites often slipped past technical policies, threatening security and diluting brand coherence.
Pain Points:
Local agencies used varying technical formats and did not follow central IT requirements
Manual email-based approval cycle stretched launch timelines to 4–6 weeks per site
Branding inconsistencies across regional pages
Lack of a unified approval and deployment workflow
No systematic way to track agency responses or technical readiness
Manual QA process led to missed deadlines and rework
Solution
We introduced a structured framework combining consulting, process engineering, and technical implementation to streamline regional SharePoint deployments. This approach aligned global vision with local execution, enabling a compliant, and repeatable process.
People, Process & Technology:
Defined pain points and map the end-to-end approval lifecycle.
Designed standardized intake and evaluation workflows for regional submissions.
Implemented a tracking dashboard to monitor agency submissions, technical review status, and compliance checks.
Automated technical validation and package generation for SharePoint deployment.
Established a central knowledge base and self-service toolkit for agency onboarding.
Impact
The client now operates with a unified process that enables faster, compliant SharePoint site launches across all markets. Regional teams are empowered to contribute within clear boundaries, while central governance maintains full visibility and control.
Results:
60% reduction in review and approval cycle time
40% fewer compliance issues in first-round submissions
Central team saved 300+ hours annually through automation
Improved cross-regional consistency and brand alignment
Increased transparency with real-time status tracking and reporting
