Kardinia Early Learning

Kardinia can now offer their staff to a “one-stop shop” intranet using LiveTiles Reach. The implementation has been a fast process for them. Joe said it was about a month from choosing LiveTiles to creating the first post.

“From the time you link your Office 365 to LiveTiles Reach, that’s fairly instantaneous.

“Then it’s a matter of creating the security permissions, but that process was fairly quick. We were happy with that process.

“All of our centers now have visibility. I think that the uptake for people is very good. I love the fact that it was fairly intuitive.”

When the pandemic hit, Kardinia’s early learning centres kept operating.

“The platform worked, people were engaging with it, they were using it and, obviously, when it came to say COVID, policies and procedures, they were able to upload posts and articles about this,” Joe said.

“To have a platform where they could go, ‘Hey, it’s okay, we’re still keeping the doors open’, ’it just alleviated some of the uncertainty.”

Joe also appreciated the fast support offered. When he encountered a problem, his LiveTiles contact “implemented a solution within a few hours”.

“That just gave me confidence, in terms of knowing there’s a development team that is constantly improving the product, that are supporting and that’s great peace of mind.

“But it is funny how you go, ‘Oh, it’d be great to do this.’ And they (LiveTiles) go, “It’s already there actually, have you, have you tried this?’”

Kardinia will keep on encouraging staff to use the platform, and their next step is to use the LiveTiles Reach function more.

“It’s bringing people together because there is a communication platform that we can all use.”
