Their Challenges

No organisational single source of truth
No centralised information system
No document management adoption
Lack of end user adoption
No single voice of communication

Our solution

Working closely with YMCA Canada we established a single source of truth for the federation which is accessed by 37 associations all over Canada – creating the Y Connect platform.

Built on Attollo’s award-winning SharePoint-based solution. The project was initiated to unite YMCA Canada’s network of associations across the country, providing a single, secure digital space where staff can access consistent information, resources, and communication tools.

How YMCA Canada benefited from an Attollo Intranet

Uniting a National Network with an intranet

Y-Connect has brought YMCA Canada’s associations together on a centralised digital platform. Powered by Attollo, it now offers a trusted source for communication and resources, strengthening & maintaining local identity.

Empowering Internal Communications

Through seamless Microsoft 365 integration, Y Connect enables real-time updates, news and documents. Its engaging design connects staff across the country, creating a stronger sense of community and collaboration.

Driving Engagement and Efficiency

More than an information hub, Y Connect enables access to policies, resources, and communications. It boosts productivity and engagement, helping YMCA teams focus on delivering meaningful impact in their communities.

Using the Attollo with SharePoint to create Y Connect intranet

Attollo worked closely with YMCA Canada to design and implement an intranet that reflects the organisation’s national identity while allowing for local flexibility.

The result is a user-friendly, branded intranet that supports staff engagement, streamlines internal communication, and promotes a culture of collaboration and belonging.

Y-Connect serves as a central hub for news, events, shared documents, and operational resources,

Attollo makes SharePoint even better - The team at Attollo has been great to deal with throughout the process of launching and maintaining our intranet. They quickly respond to issues, and have quickly added new features to web parts to meet our needs. Throughout onboarding, they were with us every step of the way.
