Associated Fire Safety Group, a multi-region Canadian fire safety services organization, needed to modernize its collaboration environment after operating within an unstructured G-Suite ecosystem that created silos, duplication, and governance challenges.
Inside View led the organization’s transition to Microsoft 365 by designing and launching a centralized SharePoint Online intranet, consolidating communication channels and document repositories, and establishing foundational governance practices. Within just two weeks, Associated Fire Safety Group successfully launched its new digital workplace, resulting in 60% increased Microsoft 365 engagement and 80% improvement in document centralization and consistency.
What was holding Associated Fire Safety Group back
- Fragmented G-Suite environment leading to inconsistent document storage and communication silos
- Duplicate systems and unmanaged repositories increasing IT costs and operational complexity
- No centralized intranet to unify departments
- Limited governance practices, creating scalability and long-term sustainability risks
- Low user engagement across collaboration tools
