No incentive was offered I have seen demos of the product and have received response to questions regarding functionality and architecture of the solution as we explored Origami as an option to enhance the experience as we thought of upgrading our existing Extranet portal. The team behind Origami has over 10 years of experience in SharePoint and it shows on the solution and their attention to detail. As described by the team, for a typical implementation they work with you to define Information Architecture, visual aspects, etc. Once those have been ironed out, a deployment can be completed in less than an hour. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Origami checks all the boxes expected of an Intranet in a box product to accelerate a SharePoint Intranet deployment: - Navigation with drop-downs and a way to edit links from the home page - Featured content web part for news and other content sources that can be used to highlight items such as blog posts, news article pages, events, etc. - Social features such as likes and commenting for employee feedback - Company events – can show past and future events to highlight key dates and company events - People Directory – Clean, easy to find employees by name, title, skills, etc. - Document Center – Search driven experience based on document properties to find forms, templates, etc. - Classifieds – Gallery view, easy to add a new item for sale - Recognition and Shout-outs - These can be curated and allow for employees to nominate others - Quick Poll – Polling employees for feedback. Employees can also submit poll suggestions - Idea Submission and voting UI - Site Directory -Breadcrumbs! Key differentiator: Authoring experience for content creators. Origami will provide guidance and a starting point for article pages and news pages. The template goes beyond page layout structure and provides in-page guidance to make authoring less about formatting content and more about what the content needs to provide to readers. This will reduce friction for others in the org to contribute content and accelerate their time to publish, usually an issue for successful adoption. #### Cons As most Intranet in-a-box solutions, it is using the classic publishing site template and the underlying features it provides. It will be interesting to see how the solution evolves to support modern sites and/or enhance the experience by incorporating modern communication sites and hub sites into the mix. #### Vendor response Thank you for your review Miguel!

No incentive was offered Origami Connect is one of the best SharePoint Designers and consultants available. Building an Intranet can be overwhelmingly challenging regarding the basic understanding of an Intranet, especially if you don't have on-premises experts or even beginners. Origami Connect provides a solution that starts at the foundation and builds from there. It is not just about buying a template and then saying now what? It is about the time taken to determine what a company hopes to achieve, even if it has no idea itself. Origami Connect takes time to ask the right questions, guides and listens, and provides the foundation and design that builds a usable, appealing intranet for any size company. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Origami Connect was invaluable. Their expertise, experience, and understanding helped transform a SharePoint Intranet that had yet to move forward after several years into a usable, appealing Intranet for our staff. Introducing SharePoint to a healthcare group can be challenging. Working with Origami Connect helped the adoption move forward quickly. It's not just the design they provide, which is excellent in itself; it is their understanding of a company's individuality and building SharePoint to meet that individuality that really makes a difference. #### Cons I have no cons or complaints. The timeline was excellent, and the support and development were excellent. --- ### CMHA Simcoe County Branch -Ontario - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Trish M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospital & Health Care - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: December 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Excellent to Exceptional. ([SENSITIVE CONTENT] , was absolutely exceptional - relationship wise, knowledgeable, flexible, provided examples, and really was our point person through out the journey- always supporting)Our Origami Success Coach/PM was great and really provided guidance, options, experience from other deployments- and really when we as Project Sponsor and my Project Manager- were getting challenged/or struggling- He glad us advice, to navigate, again based on other experiences- and presented at our management meeting- so again we could bring his knowledge and expertise. He was always available....or had quick response to our queries. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Options/functionalityEase of useBuilding blocks to create the infrastructure. #### Cons overall have supported everything - that was shared and delivered.One item- we had understood possibly differently- was that within the document management/policy management- we could track people's review/completion aspect. It may have been how it was presented but was really looking for this feature. ie Privacy training, we need to do it yearly for existing employees.....so wanted folks to go on intranet complete, and this tracks their review/completing as we need 100% of staff. #### Reasons for choosing Origami Connect Communication tool/Document Management /Onboarding features for new staff.Presentation, promoted by [SENSITIVE CONTENT] , in connecting with the team.Pricing(we had an extensive evaluation tool, that our team of approx 10 evaluated- and scores were close, but really in the is was VERY close between Valor and Origami....bottomline was pricing for us) #### Reasons for switching to Origami Connect We went with an provider that had experience and expertise in the deployment that was already within the sharepoint world building off our infrastructure - as we were moving fully to 365 MSoftware.Canadian Base was a positive to this journey too. --- ### Transformed our basic SharePoint pages into an engaging Intranet with great UX - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Arush K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: May 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered We have been able to create and implement a very engaging Intranet site with very high adoption rates. This has solved the business problem of having key organisational documents in various locations without a common place to access and engage. The support during the setup process was beyond expectations which made the implementation very easy. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros - A selection of WebParts available to 'plug & play' onto any SharePoint page. - Modern-looking UI and very engaging UX design. - The Staff love it! The intranet launched in my organisation was received with positive feedback and has increased our adoption rate significantly. - Incredibly easy deployment done without any technical expertise. Easy to configure and customise to our needs without any coding. - The 'how-to' manuals and support available during set-up made the process very easy. - Since it was an add-on to existing SharePoint infrastructure it reduced the cost and training requirements of getting a separate 'Intranet' software. - We were able to go from ideation to implementation in a matter of weeks without needing any custom SharePoint development or technical expertise to set up Origami. #### Cons We have been using Origami Connect for about 4 months now, and nothing major to report at the moment! --- ### The best support I’ve ever received from any of external product vendors - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ilona F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: May 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Analytical approach - Origami took the guesswork out of the equation and helped us figure out what employees want. They organized the survey and used the results to roll out their intranet solution. Overall, the feedback for a new intranet has been pretty positive. Intranet search - What I liked about Origami’s search is that the order of results on the search depends on how often people are using it, so you can see over time what people want to search the most. Site directory – encouraging our users to make workspaces as favourites and to follow them has been helpful to us. In our old intranet, the search function was starting to fail on us, so it was actually good to know that it just works. Customer support – Origami has been absolutely fantastic about their support, it's definitely the best support I’ve ever received from any of the external products that we use. #### Cons Any problems I’ve been getting to along the way, Origami has been very good to deal with, very prompt. There were a couple of tweaks, but they have added later as an enhancement to the product. #### Reasons for choosing Origami Connect We were growing and needed an intranet to get information at people’s fingerprints as quickly as possible. Our intranet was getting busier and the comms team was struggling with SharePoint. This is when we decided to look for an intranet solution and found Origami. --- ### Modern look and feel and easy to use intranet solution for SharePoint - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Svetlana A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: June 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros 1. Provides available Web-Parts that could be reused across the site collection, following the provided User Manual; 2. The team was able to adapt the tools from SharePoint 2016 to our SharePoint2013 environment; 3. Provides modern look and feel for News, People Directory and Announcements, Timeline and other communication features. 4. Does not do additional customization on the environment. Out-of-the box SharePoint features are still available for Power Users for future extensions. 5. The parts fit well with the current processes and business needs for the communications of the Program. We are happy that we involved the Origami team in the requirements gathering process; #### Cons It needs to provide responsive design capability. May be it was not available only because we were still using SharePoint 2013 version, as well as - it came as a requirement after implementation. #### Vendor response Thank you for your review, Svetlana! To your point, responsive design is available in our SharePoint 2016 and SharePoint Online version of the solution.
