Migration of JR Simplot Company Intranet to the Simpplr Platform

About the Project

I was hired as a Migration and Simpplr SME to assist in the transition of a SiteCore intranet to Simpplr’s intranet solution for the J.R. Simplot Company, which consists of 15K global employees.

As part of a migration team, my role was migration tech expert, bringing Simpplr expertise from many prior migrations (including Windows, BlackBaud, DocsOpen). I worked with a UX Designer, App Manager, Content Manager, Project Manager and Project Coordinator to bring this project to fruition.

Working with the UX Designer, who built architecture prototypes in Figma, we transferred the build specs through Monday.com as a tracking tool for each page, section and site to be migrated.

The entire site (named “The Pulse”) is comprised of 59 sites and serves 15,000+ employees. The site launched in September, 2023.

My role consisted of building the interactive tracking tool which allowed us to maintain the status of each page, fulfill requests for new ones, and work with the UX Designer to construct each individual dashboard (site). All pages, links, and videos were transferred from the old system, and some new interactions were constructed. I was not only responsible for tracking the migrated and newly-created pages, but also for constructing sites, editing content, and providing imagery, including graphic design.

As App specialist, I am responsible for the day to day running of the intranet, which includes solving technical issues, implementing the many levels of additional useability Simpplr provides, all training of employees in the system, and the development of all training materials, including videos and creation of and maintaining an LMS.

The new intranet offers a richer interactive experience, including feeds which allow the stakeholders to share their stories, events and reactions to others’ posts. Each of the 59 sites has its unique layout and stories, with a dashboard to maintain.
