We advise you on your exit strategy

Staffbase has announced that Valo Intranet will be discontinued as of July 31st, 2025. There will also be no new SharePoint add-on to replace Valo. What does this mean for organizations currently working with a Valo-based intranet? We can help you make a smooth transition to a modern and independent intranet.

Why is Valo Intranet being discontinued?

Staffbase announced in 2022 that it would reduce its investment in Valo Intranet and focus on Microsoft integrations. Since then, a steady decline in market demand and sales has been observed. Following a comprehensive review of sales volumes and product-market fit, Staffbase has decided to discontinue Valo Intranet.

 

How long will there still be access to Valo Intranet?

Support for Valo products will be ensured until 31.07.2025, but there will be no further developments. Customers with a permanent license will still be able to use Valo Intranet in its current state after 31.07.2025, but there will be no more support from the manufacturer.

 

Will there still be support?

Yes, there will continue to be support from the manufacturer until 31.07.2025, so that smooth use is possible. However, there will be no further developments. After 31.07.2025, support from the manufacturer will be discontinued.

 

Our approach to dismantling Valo

1. Analysis

As part of the first workshop, we will look together at the framework conditions for replacing the Valo components. We will show you the best possible solutions for replacing the Valo features within the M365 platform without additional license costs.

2. Solution sketch

As a result of the first workshop, we will show you the professional, organizational and technical aspects of removing Valo from your existing intranet in the second workshop. aspects of removing Valo from your existing intranet. You will also receive a concrete roadmap for the procedure and a cost overview of your project.

We support your Valo exit strategy

After analysis and recommendation for further action, you can proceed with implementation yourself or we can accompany you along the way. 

This includes, among other things

  • Conversion of the SharePoint sites 
  • De-installation of Valo 
  • Technical support
  • Training of editors
  • Change support
     

We have already expanded the Valo add-on for some of our customers and converted it completely to SharePoint Online Standard in conjunction with Microsoft Viva Connections and Viva Engage. Our interim conclusion after the first go-lives is promising: The social intranet based on SharePoint Viva works and meets or even exceeds the expectations of the users.

Our team at Campana & Schott will support you in this process right from the start. Do you need support with your Valo exit strategy? We have put together a specific Valo exit package for you.

Leave your contact details and we will get back to you for an initial non-binding discussion.

Alternatives for your intranet visitors

The SharePoint standard now offers a whole range of features that enable target group-specific content to be displayed in a user-friendly way. In combination with Microsoft Viva Connections, your new intranet can even go mobile!

 

Alternatives for your editorial department

Communication work is constantly changing towards more contributors, more short-lived content, more interaction and community building. SharePoint and Microsoft Viva also offer the right solutions for these trends on the "productive" side.

 

We have a plan

Your new intranet can be ready well before the end of Valo support and can also offer more than just alternatives to the expiring features. With your requirements in mind, we rethink communication from scratch and set about implementing it.
