Mälarenergi launches sustainable intranet in Sitevision

Mälarenergi recently launched its new intranet Merigo in Sitevision. In line with the company's vision of a world without climate impact and from the perspective of sustainable development, they have built a platform that will serve as a hub in the digital workplace. For example, have you heard anything as smart as an energy saving mode?

The purpose of Mälarenergi's new intranet – Merigo – is to create a modern, efficient platform for internal communication and collaboration. Efficiency, commitment, relevance and quality are the overall impact goals for the intranet.

– This means that we have done a lot of work on news feeds, personalization and social features, as well as making the content available on mobile devices. What we have now launched is a first version and a significant step towards the vision: that Merigo will be the digital workplace, the hub of all employees' working day, regardless of where they are, says Kajsa Sundberg, project manager at Mälarenergi.

The journey towards zero

Mälarenergi has a clear direction for the entire business – by 2035 they will have achieved net zero fossil emissions. They call it the Journey to Zero.

– It felt natural to include sustainability in the development of the intranet. The users themselves can choose whether they want to use Merigo in "energy saving mode" - a dark mode that will save energy compared to light mode, explains Per Arne Hermansson, who is responsible for content in the project, and continues:

– It is of course important that Sitevision Cloud is a Green Web Host.

The choice fell on Sitevision

Before Mälarenergi developed the intranet, the project team carried out a thorough preliminary work and as part of the procurement, they analyzed several possible platforms.

– It soon became clear that Sitevision was the most interesting option, not least because of our high security and stability requirements. But also because we wanted a platform to grow with in future development, says Kajsa Sundberg.

Mälarenergi met several other companies and organizations that also use Sitevision, which confirmed the impressions and highlighted how simple and intuitive it is for the editors.

– So far we are very satisfied with our choice and we have received very good support in our work, both from Sitevision and our partner Webstep, concludes Per Arne Hermansson.

Congratulations on the launch and good luck with future projects 💚
