The Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO) requires the revamping and revitalisation of its existing SharePoint-based intranet platform. The current intranet is underutilised, difficult to maintain, and does not fully support content governance, communication, or collaboration needs.

The revamped intranet must be easy to update, simple to manage for non-technical users, and aligned to QCTO’s communication, governance, and operational needs, leveraging Microsoft SharePoint best practices.
