HELSINKI, Dec. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Valo has launched its complete digital workplace tool kit on Microsoft 365,

SharePoint and Microsoft Teams.

Building on its existing portfolio of digital workplace tools, including the

award-winning Valo Intranet and Valo Teamwork, it has launched Valo Connect,

Valo Entrance and Valo Ideas.

Its new stable of digital workplace tools means organizations now have

everything they need to run their businesses digitally from within the

Microsoft ecosystem.

Valo Connect, one tool to connect them all

As Microsoft Teams has increasingly become central to many people's working

day, Valo Connect (https://www.valointranet.com/valo-connect/ ) brings an

organization's digital tools and content together into one, easy-to-use

enterprise portal within Teams.

Valo Connect not only connects its existing tools, bringing them into a single

place, it aggregates third party tools from outside the Microsoft ecosystem too.

With Valo Connect, users can access their intranet, governance dashboard,

ideation tool, extranet, and third-party apps all from within Teams. They can

even add connectors, apps and OOTB tools too.

This means the user only needs to go to one place to connect to people,

conversations, news, information and content in order to have an efficient

workday experience.

In addition, as Valo Connect is part of the Microsoft 365 product suite, it can

be accessed anywhere on any device, safely and securely.

Pekka Walkama, Valo's President said:

"Valo Connect not only eases the burden on IT management it offers a smoother

digital workplace experience by consolidating digital workplace tools directly

inside Microsoft Teams too. There is no other solution on the market like ours."  

Valo Entrance makes collaboration with external organizations safe and secure  

As digital collaboration between companies increases, businesses need a way to

cooperate with external stakeholders easily and securely.

With Valo Entrance (https://www.valointranet.com/valo-entrance/)  Project Managers

can invite and collaborate with external users easily, without the need for IT support,

which has traditionally been hard to do in out-of-the-box SharePoint.

Whole domains can be invited at once, as well as individual addresses of

external collaborators. Plus, external stakeholders can self-serve, by opting

in and registering for access themselves.

However, Valo Entrance's dashboard and built-in search function also enables IT

to oversee access and control permissions, such as which pages external users

can view, and delete members who leave the team.

Pekka Walkama, Valo's President said:

"Valo Entrance is a safe and secure way to collaborate with external

organizations. The self-service portal is easy and convenient to use, whilst IT

governance remains of paramount importance."

Valo Ideas makes it easy to crowd-source ideas and tap into valuable insights

across the organization

With distributed working patterns becoming the new normal, it's harder to

collect ideas from colleagues working remotely, in the field or abroad.  

Valo Ideas (https://www.valointranet.com/valo-ideas/), an idea management tool

which natively integrates into any Microsoft 365 workflow, provides a

centralized area where ideas can be summited, collated and actioned.  

Employees with an idea about how to improve a product, service or way of working

can submit their suggestions to a visible, centralized hub. All team members can like

and comment on the idea and managers can assign an action to it.

Valo Ideas can be used for crowd-sourcing ideas from an entire workforce,

reaching previously unknown colleagues and tapping into invaluable insights to

encourage open innovation. Plus, it can be used to gather people around an

idea, helping them to make a collective decision.  

Pekka Walkama, Valo's President said:

"Valo Ideas is a democratic idea management tool. It engages employees from

every department and level of the company, making innovation a transparent and

collective process."

Valo has the complete suite of digital workplace tools

Valo is widely known for selling the most lovable intranet-in-a-box solution

Intranet Choice – North America 2020 (https://www.valointranet.com/blog/news/valo-stood-out-again-in-the-sharepoint-intranets-in-a-box-report-by-clearbox-consulting/ ) and

Best Intranet/Extranet at ESPC Awards 2019 (https://www.valointranet.com/awards-reviews/valo-named-best-intranet-extranet-at-espc-awards-2019/ ).

IT governance tool Valo Teamwork ( https://www.valointranet.com/valo-teamwork/ )
