Igloo + Microsoft Integration Extend the value of your Microsoft deployment with Igloo Digital Workplace Solutions.

Igloo and Microsoft share the same vision: to improve workplace experiences and help employees achieve more. That’s why we’ve joined forces in a strategic partnership to bring innovative solutions to the market — supporting digital transformation, and addressing systemic issues impacting workplace productivity and employee engagement.

Leverage your favorite productivity tools right inside your Igloo

Igloo offers out-of-the-box integrations with Office 365, enabling you to take full advantage of the collaboration and productivity benefits of Office 365 in a single destination. Employees get a seamless view into their work, regardless of the application they’re using, so they’re more productive, informed and engaged. And integration with SharePoint and OneDrive for Business means all content is accessible in one place, while Yammer and Skype give employees more ways to connect.

Integrated file management for the way we work today

File sharing is at the heart of collaboration and communication, but as a process, it’s largely broken. Files are dispersed across corporate servers or stranded in inboxes. When files are separated from related conversations and processes, the context gets lost in the shuffle.

OneDrive & SharePoint

Collaborate in context by surfacing specific folders or files from OneDrive and SharePoint anywhere in your Igloo. Need to make edits? Files will launch in Office Online where changes are saved and surfaced back in Igloo, automatically.

Windows & Office Tools

Drive a self-service culture by collaborating in Office and publishing final content to Igloo. When files are stored directly in Igloo, you can manage them in Windows Explorer via the Igloo Desktop Tool without needing to download local copies. Files will automatically open in Office and save back to Igloo. You can also do this from your web browser.

Unified Search

Igloo also offers simple federated search, out-of-the box. Search across all of your file repositories from a single search interface and ensure that your teams are quickly getting what they need — no matter where it’s stored.

Communication and collaboration for the cloud age

Teams work best together when they can effectively communicate and collaborate, from anywhere.

Microsoft Teams

Initiate conversations with other employees without leaving your Igloo digital workplace. Our integration with Microsoft Teams makes it easy to improve one-to-one and group collaboration – with context.

Skype for Business

Use Igloo to find people with the expertise you need, then chat in real-time by kicking off a Skype for Business session directly from an Igloo profile. This will keep your instant messaging to a single platform and make experts more accessible.

Microsoft Calendars

Never miss a meeting or event. Igloo Calendar events sync to your Outlook calendar. You can also publish interactive personal and group Office 365 or Outlook Calendars directly within your Igloo.

Yammer

Make use of Igloo microblogs or bring Yammer into your Igloo to create a virtual water cooler for posting quick updates, funny stories, and team-wide kudos throughout the day.

Outlook & Email

Igloo facilitates all work styles which is why notifications and applications are email-enabled. Email content and files to any Igloo application, and respond to notifications without ever leaving your email.

Launch digital workplace solutions in a modern, secure cloud

With Microsoft Azure cloud hosting platform, Igloo customers benefit from on-demand scalability, as well as the most robust global standards for security and privacy, compliance, and peak performance.

Authentication

Simplify identity management through single sign-on (SSO). Secure authentication and the synchronization of profiles with Active Directory (Azure and on-premise) gives IT more control from a central location while significantly reducing costs.

Security & Compliance

Azure holds more security certificates than any other cloud provider. Today, Igloo customers benefit from this enhanced security as well as US and Canadian geographic data residency options.

Scalability

Azure’s high-performance global infrastructure allows Igloo and our customers to continue to scale and meet regional data, service and security needs.

Measure results, drive engagement

Igloo Workplace Analytics provides a variety of rich reports to measure adoption, engagement, and growth in your community. And when you need customized reporting, Igloo Data Feeds can be ingested with Microsoft Excel and Power BI for enhanced analytics and data visualization.
