Connecting employees to each other and the corporate message is the holy grail for HR leaders. Traditionally they’ve turned to the IT team to roll out big heavy employee portals.  Well, we all know how that played out- the world went mobile and social and the portals didn’t adapt.  

Now imagine that 90% of your workforce didn’t sit at a desk, nor did they ever carry a work issued laptop or tablet.  That was the challenge that Virgin America faced.  They knew that their employees, or “teammates” as they call them, were their secret ingredient to their amazing success and that they needed a tool that wasn’t stuck in the 90’s.  In short, they needed an intranet that was as cool as their employees are.

They turned to salesforce.com and with the help of Appirio, they built VXConnect- a mobile first social intranet.  Now everyone has access to important announcements and team updates in real-time.  And with Chatter, teammates can now connect to other teammates regardless of where they are.  They are more engaged with each other and more connected on any device.
