OneHP Social Network Solution

In collaboration with HP and agencies CHI & Partners and Big Spaceship, Williams Forrest created an entirely custom SharePoint social solution called OneHP. WF was responsible for building, implementing hosting, and maintaining OneHP, which is a single, extensible platform for enterprise-wide social collaboration.

OneHP provides all HP employees across the globe the ability to share knowledge using social media-type features and functionalities, enhancing collaboration and empowering the HP team.

Highlights

A Custom SharePoint Solution

The majority of OneHP's features were not in SharePoint's out-of-the-box functionality, making customization mandatory in order to deliver HP's requested functionality. WF added a custom database with tables for tracking posts, groups and group membership, likes and endorsements. This custom database was integrated with SharePoint's existing search functionality.

Managing an Iterative, Large-Scale Project

In building OneHP, the WF team coordinated efforts across multiple teams and agencies, while also ensuring that the final solution was scalable and performant for HP's 320,000+ employees.

New Ways to Store and Track Data

The new OneHP solution leveraged a built-in User Profile Application to track user profiles, interests, and skills. In addition, this solution uses a SharePoint calendar to store group events as well as a library to store group photos.
