  1. BC Place Facilitates Internal Communication With Intranet Connections During Post-Olympic Construction

  2. (1888PressRelease) BC Place, the venue for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games, launched their Intranet Connections intranet site in July with goals of improving corporate communication, increasing employee involvement, and enhancing information sharing within the organization. Vancouver, BC - Intranet Connections (www.intranetconnections.com) is pleased to announce the intranet launch for BC Place, the venue for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games. BC Place launched their Intranet Connections Intranet 2.0 CMS Software in July with goals of improving corporate communication, increasing employee involvement, and enhancing information sharing within the organization. After the 2010 Winter Games, BC Place was scheduled major construction to revitalize and modernize the facilities, including the largest retractable roof of its kind in the world. When the Administration team at BC Place learned that half of all full-time staff would be moving to temporary offices at the Vancouver Convention Centre and the other half would remain at BC Place, they immediately became aware that a corporate communication tool was needed to unify the two locations. The IT team spearheaded the project, identifying an intranet site as the best means to facilitate internal communication and provide a central repository for staff information. In evaluating intranet solutions, BC Place knew they wanted to find a turnkey product that did not require any programming or custom development in order to get their site up and running. "We ultimately selected Intranet Connections as an intranet solution because it was out-of the box and it required minimal administration overhead. Intranet Connections also came highly recommended, was proven in the market place and was developed by a Canadian company. We really liked the fact that Intranet Connections was a local organization." says Winnie Mok, Information Services Manager at BC Place.

  3. Since this was BC Place's first intranet implementation, Intranet Connections' suite of ready-to-use applications allowed the intranet development committee to focus efforts on the key success factors for a well received rollout. Priorities for the launch included: educating users about the role of an intranet, developing dynamic and relevant content and establishing site usage guidelines. The new intranet has become a central part of BC Place's multi-location communications and information management strategy. Construction news, press updates, updated policies and information about their upcoming road show are all posted on the intranet to keep employees at different facilities up to date and in the know. About BC Place BC Place is the largest sports, exhibition and entertainment venue of its kind in British Columbia, hosting the province's most notable events, including the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.
