Igloo emphasizes fostering an environment for its clients that involves a seamless flow of knowledge at an individual, team, and organizational level. “Through our offerings, clients can enhance corporate communications, employee engagement, knowledge management, and collaboration between teams, helping its workforce become more productive and engaged,” says Sean Duffy, Vice President (Product Strategy) of the company. For instance, its flagship product, Igloo Digital Workplace is an all-inclusive digital workplace platform which organizations leverage for a complete intranet solution that supports all departments and users. This can be contrasted with the company’s Zones solution, designed for individual business units that allows users to swiftly develop a digital workplace as per their requirement. Additionally, other individual solutions such as Igloo’s onboarding center, boardroom, and newsroom solutions play an essential role in fulfilling the company’s mission to provide a comprehensive digital workplace. Igloo also offers a fully featured software development kit that enables the client to leverage their existing expertise and technologies to build sophisticated functions with just a few lines of code.
Igloo’s offerings for improving a client’s digital workplace are suitably complemented by its consulting and support services. The Igloo playbook consolidates 12 years of best practices for optimum digital workplace management.
Moreover, by maintaining a transparent and open communication flow with clients, the company works on the feedback received on content authoring, editing capabilities, or other professional services and continuously improves its product/service portfolio. The company’s expertise in providing exceptional digital workplace solutions is evidenced by its collaboration with a manufacturing customer that had a dispersed workforce across the globe. With employees in the US and Canada, the customer faced language barriers and lacked a centralized department of corporate communications that led to information fragmentation. Leveraging Igloo’s digital workplace platform, the customer incorporated its corporate news into the workflow, keeping the employees updated on the business affairs. Moreover, information pertaining to events, training and onboarding, and resources was made accessible to the employees to help them grow professionally easily and quickly. Employees could access Wikipedia and relevant forums to learn about manufacturing processes in its facility, post their queries, receive answers, and reply to others’ questions simultaneously. Igloo’s built-in translator could convert the content into multiple languages, thereby eliminating the language barriers. The customer also included a brand portal to leverage the latest corporate branding assets, a recognition center to acknowledge employees’ success, and an ethics center to ensure that employees adhere to the organization’s codes. With Igloo’s solution in place, 94 percent of the customer’s employees could gain information quickly and easily like never before. Translation became swift and cost-effective, and training of over 3000 employees could be completed in just one month, which usually took six months.![]()

Without resting on its laurels, Igloo is currently improving its search capabilities to ensure that employees can obtain any business information whenever required. The offerings are also being integrated with content creation capabilities that would enable customers to improve communication functions. Also, the company is incorporating search analytics, AI services, and other innovative technologies into its platforms that would enhance digital workplace management.
