Modern Internal Communications

Reach every employee with one channel strategy and a Viva-based communications hub.

Employees missing key messages is rarely a writing problem; it is a channel problem. CloudWay designs modern internal communications for Microsoft 365: a channel strategy with a clear purpose and audience for each channel, a Viva Connections-based communications hub, and the editorial governance that keeps it all running. A typical engagement takes 4 to 8 weeks from strategy to launched hub. 

The challenge

Most organisations struggle with fragmented internal communications: important updates are spread across email, intranet, Teams, and chat, employees miss key messages, and communications teams cannot measure what actually reaches people. The result is low engagement and duplicated effort.

Missed key messages

Important updates get lost across too many places.

Overlapping channels

Teams are unsure where to publish or find information.

Low engagement and reach

Comms teams struggle to reach and engage employees.

What we do

CloudWay helps you build one coherent internal communications experience on the Microsoft 365 platform. We start by mapping your current channels, define a channel strategy with a clear purpose and audience for each channel, and then design and launch a Viva Connections-based communications hub. Finally, we establish editorial governance and a publishing rhythm your team can run without us.

Channel strategy

You get a documented channel strategy that defines what to publish, where, and for which audience across Teams, SharePoint, and Viva.

Improved reach

Key messages reach the people they are meant for, measurably.

Governance

You get editorial governance with clear roles and publishing rules, so ownership of every channel is settled once instead of debated weekly.

Clearer ownership

Every channel has an owner and a defined purpose.

Viva-based hub launch

You get a Viva Connections communications hub designed, built, and launched as the single front door to internal news.

Repeatable communications delivery

Communications become a repeatable operation rather than weekly improvisation.

Editorial workflow

You get an editorial workflow and publishing rhythm your communications team can run without consultant support.
