Intranet Migration in Wakefield
Moving a Wakefield organisation's intranet to a new platform, where the most valuable decision is how much not to bring. Old intranets are mostly documents nobody has opened in years, policies superseded twice and pages whose owner left — and migrating all of it faithfully recreates the reason people stopped using it.
Why this comes up
The problem
The plan is to move four thousand pages, and nobody can name who owns more than a handful of them.
What you get
What we deliver
- Content inventoried with last-viewed and last-edited dates against every item
- An owner identified per section, or the content treated as a candidate for removal
- Policies checked for currency, since superseded versions cause real problems
- A migration set agreed deliberately, with the rest archived rather than moved
- Permissions rebuilt from what is needed now rather than copied forward
- Search tested against the questions people actually arrive with

Intranet Migration in Wakefield — common questions
- How much content typically moves?
- Far less than the inventory suggests, once usage is examined. A large share of pages have not been opened in years, and moving them recreates a system where the useful material is buried among things nobody needs — which is the complaint the new intranet was meant to answer.
- What about content nobody owns?
- Treat the absence of an owner as the answer. If no one in the organisation will take responsibility for keeping a page accurate, it should not be published — archiving it keeps the record available while removing it from what staff have to search through.
- Why not copy the permissions across?
- Because they encode years of exceptions. Permissions granted for a project in 2019, to people who have since changed roles, are carried forward invisibly — and a migration is the one realistic opportunity to rebuild access from what teams need today.
- Why is currency of policies so important?
- Because staff act on what they find. Two versions of an expenses policy or a safety procedure, both reachable through search, means somebody will follow the wrong one — and in a regulated environment that is a considerably more serious problem than an untidy intranet.
- Do you work with businesses across West Yorkshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Yorkshire & the Humber, including Wakefield and the surrounding West Yorkshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Wakefield businesses do you usually work with?
- Warehouse, routing and fulfilment systems for distribution operators serving the whole north of England. Beyond that we work across Logistics, Manufacturing, Retail, Public Sector and Food Production.
- Do you cover the areas around Wakefield?
- Yes — we work throughout Yorkshire & the Humber, including Leeds, Bradford, Doncaster. Wakefield is an urban area of roughly 110,000+, and we take on work across the wider West Yorkshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
