Seamlessly replace your Valo Intranet before support ends

The good news is that there’s no need to clean up your existing content when transitioning from Valo to Fresh. Exceptions may apply depending on the structure of pages, but generally, we’ve made the transition process so smooth that you won’t need to do any major content editing. This allows you to start afresh without extensive cleanup efforts. Keep in mind that replacing an intranet also presents an opportunity to rethink and possibly relaunch it if appropriate. Your Fresh partner can best advise you on the right direction.

Most probably not. Your Fresh partner will replace your existing content with new content while keeping the same names and URLs, ensuring that your links aren’t broken in the transition process.

If you’ve got some customisations with your Valo Intranet, it’s not a problem. Your Fresh partner can test them before transitioning them over to Fresh to ensure we can support them without breaking existing functionality. Or if there’s duplication with one of our 70+ standard web parts, we’ll simply move the data on to that web part so, you can wave goodbye to the complications that come with customisations.

So simple. There’re very little changes in content editing practices. We’ve designed the transition from Valo to Fresh to go ahead with minimal disruption to you and your team. Better still, clients who move from Valo to Fresh say their content editors are more active, as Fresh is so straightforward to use. Plus, Fresh supports AI-driven features that streamline content creation and editing. It can generate suggestions for your page title, update descriptions, suggest keywords, images, and thumbnails, and even translate content into other languages, making the process a breeze.

Yes. Fresh is proudly aligned with Microsoft 365’s roadmap, surpassing feature parity and seamlessly integrating with its evolving technology trends. We manage the evergreen risk, so you don’t have to.

Security is our number one priority here at Fresh. As our intranet is built on SharePoint and Microsoft 365, we take advantage of Microsoft’s robust security features as standard. Plus, we’re compliant with the WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standard and best security practices. Fresh is ISO certified for the following accreditations, ISO 27001 (Information Security), ISO 22301 (Business Continuity), ISO 9001 (Quality) and ISO 45001 (Health & Safety). Fresh also runs periodic reviews to ensure code quality.

While Valo Intranet has been in a low-investment mode since 2022, there has been significant innovation in Fresh during this period. Once you move your intranet over to Fresh, it’s set for a major upgrade—or ‘glow up’—with AI being one of the key enhancements. With FreshMind, we’ve got AI-driven search to help you find and connect with your colleagues faster. You can also use AI to find information within your documents, do bulk updates of metadata and descriptions; it can even help you create snappy headlines and images for your news posts.

If that’s not enough, Fresh has 70+ web parts to choose from, reducing your need for costly customisations. And the personalisation functionality is far more advanced, with personalised dashboards and targeted content, there’s so much more functionality to help you up your internal comms game. Also, you’ll love our editorial calendar that helps you plan the publishing of your content with ease.

It’s a question we’re asked a lot. Unlike other intranet vendors on the market, we’re proud to be part of the mighty Advania Group. With 4,500 colleagues spread across the UK and the Nordics, Fresh was built for and is used by our Microsoft 365 experts to help bring clients’ SharePoint intranets to life. So, while there’s SharePoint, there’ll be Fresh.
