Gemeente Berkelland

Before they found Plek, the municipality of Berkelland was using a static SharePoint intranet. Obviously, interaction was nowhere to be found. You need more than a top-down information pusher if you want employees to work better together. And since the municipality of Berkelland also wants to involve inhabitants and other external parties, SharePoint was far from ideal.

“We want to keep inhabitants and entrepreneurs close, and work with them to become the best Berkelland we can be. The new intranet helps us achieve that." Helga Hogenkamp, communication advisor at the municipality of Berkelland.

The municipality and its stakeholders find each other in an instant on Plek. They share knowledge, news, documents, agendas and conversations in groups and chats. Colleagues share what's happening outside and within the municipality with the aim of helping and inspiring each other and making connections.

Berkelland's self-managing teams know exactly what their municipality needs. They quickly provide flexible solutions that suit today's society. Plek facilitates this: it's transparent, low-threshold and intuitive. User-friendly like WhatsApp and Facebook, but 100% secure and built for business use.

“This platform is created by and for employees. We are counting on our employees' communicational capabilities. And it really works: everyone in our organization posts messages." Helga Hogenkamp, communication advisor at the municipality of Berkelland.
