Yes it is! Several of our customers have their own, tailored Plek. For example, you can include your logo into Plek. There is also the possibility to use your own designs for the app.

Information security is our top priority. If you use Plek, you are the owner of your own data. We draw up a clear processing agreement for all our customers.

We work at Plek according to strict information security requirements. We are therefore ISO 27001 certified, just like our (Dutch) hosting provider. In addition, we comply with the BIO (Government information security baseline).

We have implemented strict security rules both internally and externally. For example, we regularly have penetration tests and audits carried out to test whether our policy, our hosting, our working method and our platform continue to meet the high requirements.

The biggest plus of Plek is that you can do everything via Plek. Everything. Sending documents, have a quick meeting with a colleague or sending a message to the entire company. This saves you a lot of e-mails! But if you really cannot go without your e-mails, you can also opt to receive notifications through e-mail.

We offer over 750 integrations, including Google Drive, Office 365 and a number of HR systems. Want to know more? Contact us.

Sharepoint is a very top-down intranet. Teams is very useful if you want to have face to face contact with a colleague, someone with whom you already communicate very often. But if you want different kinds of communications, then you should have a look at Plek. For example, if you want to break through silo’s of different departments or really engage your employees.

We find user participation very important. A successful intranet means that everyone uses the platform and keeps using it. Our experience is that Plek enables more interaction. Most intranets have 1% of their users actively posting messages, 9% commenting on those messages and 90% just reads messages. At Plek we see 10% actively posting, 30% commenting and 60% that only reads. How we succeed in this? Read about our approach.

At Plek everyone can post messages or comment on them. This results in more interaction within organisations, but it also results in employees feeling more engaged in their job.

Plek focuses on social interaction between students, with other students and with the teacher, whereas traditional learning systems have a more individual focus. The content will remain on your current learning management system, but social interaction will take place on Plek. This way Plek social learning can exist next to your current Learning Management System. Read more about our social learning module.
