Digital workplace systems for Microsoft 365 — intranets, engagement and policy management

About us

Most digital workplace initiatives don’t fail because of Microsoft 365. They fail because the systems built around it don’t scale with how organisations actually work. Content Formula designs digital workplace systems on Microsoft 365 that help organisations communicate clearly, manage information at scale, and reduce operational risk. We typically work with organisations where: - SharePoint is already the foundation - Internal communications must cut through noise - Policies and critical documents must be controlled, auditable, and easy to follow We’re the team behind two specialist Microsoft 365 products. Lightspeed365 An intranet and engagement platform for Internal Comms and IT teams who need a modern SharePoint intranet that actually gets used without custom development or enterprise complexity. Xoralia A policy and controlled document management system for IT, Risk, and Compliance teams who need better governance, accountability, and assurance directly inside Microsoft 365. Both products are designed to: - Install quickly - Run natively in the Microsoft 365 tenant - Support real-world organisational behaviour, not just publishing If your intranet feels busy but ineffective, or your policies feel managed but not followed, the issue is rarely the platform.

  • Compliance in financial services isn't getting any easier. 85% of compliance leaders say requirements have become more complex. 92% say their job is getting harder. And yet many firms are still managing policies through email chains, shared drives and spreadsheets. When a regulator comes knocking, that's a problem. The FCA, SEC and FINRA don't just want to see that you have policies. They want proof that employees have read them, that they're up to date, and that there's a clear audit trail behind all of it. Our latest article covers: → What policies financial services firms need to have in place → The most common policy management challenges → How the right tools can get you audit-ready Link in the comments. #PolicyManagement #FinancialServices #Compliance #Xoralia

  • Compliance theatre is a real problem in healthcare. Teams scramble before an audit, tick the boxes, pass the inspection, and then go back to doing things exactly as before. The International Compliance Association defines it as activities that demonstrate compliance without actually achieving the outcomes the regulation is meant to deliver. In healthcare, that's not just inefficient. It's genuinely dangerous. A recent survey found only 31% of healthcare compliance and risk leaders feel "very prepared" to meet future compliance challenges. The pressures are real: overworked staff, complex regulations (CQC, HIPAA, GDPR), high staff turnover, and frontline workers who are hard to reach. But the answer isn't more box-ticking. It's building a policy management system that actually reduces risk. That means: ✔️ Policies employees can find at the point of need ✔️ Automation that removes the manual admin burden ✔️ Attestation that tests real understanding, not just a click ✔️ Audit trails that are always in place, not assembled in a panic We've written a new piece on what this looks like in practice and how healthcare compliance teams can move beyond the theatre.

  • How do you keep 3,000 staff across 30 schools informed, engaged and connected? That was the challenge facing one of the UK's largest academy trusts. With teams spread across multiple sites, they needed a better way to share news, updates and resources in a way that felt relevant to every member of staff. We helped them launch a Lightspeed365-powered SharePoint intranet that brought everything together in one place. Staff now get targeted updates relevant to their role and location. Push notifications land directly in Microsoft Teams. And the comms team has real visibility into how messages are landing across the organisation. The result is a connected digital workplace that's helping build a consistent culture across every school. Read the full case study in the comments 👇. #SharePoint #MicrosoftTeams #DigitalWorkplace

  • 95%+ employee attestation rates. Across an entire financial services organisation. A US-based insurance and financial planning firm wanted a better way to manage policies, replacing an older system with something more modern, searchable, and trackable. After deploying Xoralia: → A branded Policy Center gave employees one place to find the right policy → Enterprise search surfaced policies across the wider digital workplace → Every policy read was tracked and auditable → Automated workflows handled the entire policy lifecycle end to end → 95%+ attestation rate achieved and the legacy platform retired for good Compliance shouldn’t depend on chasing people. It should be built into the system. Xoralia runs inside the Microsoft 365 environment your teams already use. No new login. No new portal. No friction.

  • 10 SharePoint intranet homepages. All built differently. All for good reason. Some organisations need news front and centre. Others need a knowledge base. Some have field workers on tablets. Others want a full productivity dashboard. We've documented 10 real examples, with templates, so you can see what fits.

  • Charities are held to the same governance and compliance standards as any regulated organisation. But they're doing it with skeleton teams, tight budgets, and volunteers who may have little knowledge of required procedures. The result? Outdated policies buried in shared drives. Manual tracking via email and spreadsheets. No clear evidence that staff or trustees have actually read anything. That's a real risk for regulatory audits, safeguarding incidents, data breaches, and funder relationships. Our latest article breaks down the specific challenges charities face with policy management, and how to tackle them without a big budget.

  • Your intranet is broadcasting to everyone. But not everyone needs the same message. When content isn't relevant, people stop paying attention. Important updates get missed. Adoption falls. And the intranet becomes background noise. It doesn't have to be that way. What if your morning coffee order was always ready for you? ...and what if your intranet served up content personalised for your people?

  • Most not-for-profit organisations believe they have their policies in order. They were written. They were reviewed. They were sent out. But there is a significant difference between a policy existing and staff actually reading, understanding, and acknowledging it. That gap is where real compliance risk lives. We have written about what that gap actually costs NFPs, not just the headline regulatory risks, but the quieter, invisible costs that accumulate every week without ever appearing on a risk register.

  • We've published a complete guide to policy management software, covering what it is, the key features to evaluate, and how leading tools compare. A few things it covers: ➡️ The difference between document management and policy management (it's not just storage) ➡️ What a compliance team actually needs from a tool vs what IT needs ➡️ How SharePoint-native tools compare to GRC suites ➡️ What to look for if you're in a Microsoft 365 environment Useful if you're evaluating tools, building a business case, or trying to close the gap between what SharePoint does and what your compliance team needs.
