Building a business case for a digital workplace solution is time-consuming but an important part of an organisation's procurement process.

Identify the challenges

Projects aren’t created for project’s sake. They have a goal. Usually, they’re initiated to solve a specific business problem or advance a process or opportunity.

As a leading Workplace partner, we have the expertise to help you identify your challenges and goals across your business.

Common challenges for implementing the Workplace solution:

  • Disconnected workforce spread across different geographical locations
  • Executive transparency and communication is weak
  • Internal comms practices are ineffective and outdated

Common goals for implementing the Workplace solution:

  • Improved Employee on-boarding
  • Increase discoverability of new insights, increased mentorship and knowledge sharing.
  • Improve ideation process and speed of innovation

Propose the Workplace solution

This is where the Workplace Value Assessment comes in.

We'll work with the necessary people to build out a professional business case and highlight the value Workplace will bring to your organisation, that other solutions can't offer. Our experts will conduct a bespoke value assessment to determine if Workplace is the right tool for your needs, without an obligation to buy.

What is a Value Assessment?

The Value Assessment is a tool designed to help articulate the business value of Workplace to businesses.

We are simplifying the way we frame value with Workplace. If you are looking to build a business case for Workplace, or you're interested in understanding how it will bring value to your organisation, request the Workplace by Facebook Value Assessment.

How does it work?

If you're interested in seeing how Workplace by Facebook can add value to your organisation, submit the form and you will be sent a survey. Once that survey has been completed and returned we will conduct a detailed value assessment.

Using a Workplace Partner at this stage of the journey is critical for maximising results and getting the right people on board. We can help you fast track your implementation of Workplace by Facebook and realise the platform’s true potential, whilst bringing unparalleled collaborative productivity to your organisation.

Disruptive pricing model and no up-front commitments

Our customers love the Workplace pricing model because it's simple, flexible and the predictable billing helps when it comes to budgeting. Organisations pay just $4 per month, per user.

In addition to this, there is no need for an up-front, or pressure to sign up for an ongoing commitment, meaning that at any point your organisation can choose to leave without a penalty.

Workplace is one of the first software vendors to offer this financial flexibility, where even though other companies claim moving to a Software as as Service model gives you flexibility and the ability to scale up and down as you see fit, their sales teams are incentivised to sign large up-front commitments and your organisation never gets to benefit from this flexibility.

Workplace Premium costs just $4 per active user, per month.

As an official Workplace by Facebook licence reseller and services partner, we can offer flexible billing for Workplace in your local currency (Pound sterling, Euros and Canadian dollar) which helps customers avoid unpredictable billing and currency fluctuations.

Available on G-Cloud

For those of you in the public sector, Workplace by Facebook is now available on the G-Cloud 10 Framework through Generation Digital. 

Buying services through frameworks is faster and cheaper than entering into individual procurement contracts. Buyers and suppliers still need to sign a contract (or ‘call-off contract’) for each service bought through a framework.
