When ClearPeople created Atlas we wanted our platform to do more than just help people with communication, knowledge and collaboration. We wanted to build a platform that promotes inclusivity.
We believe that everyone, regardless of their role, location or abilities should be equipped with the right tools and information so that they can be effective at work. Importantly, this should all be in one place.
What does it feel like to be included, selected, chosen? It feels good, right? It’s quite the opposite if you’re excluded or marginalised.
These extremes are important to ClearPeople and they were at the forefront of our minds when we developed Atlas - the people-first digital workspace for Microsoft 365.
A company is not a company without its people. The digital workspace is all about those people. Bringing them together, bringing out the best in them and making your company shine in the process.
In most organisations, only a small set of people contribute and share knowledge and experience. Why? Because often only a few understand WHERE and HOW to contribute. More importantly, most don't have the permissions to do so. Atlas aims to be inclusive and easily accessible for both contributors and consumers of knowledge.
Atlas Features for Inclusivity
Add It
With Atlas, gone are the days of outdated content where only a few people could contribute to your intranet and knowledge areas. More users can add content across different areas without any technical knowledge. This is our contribution to digital meritocracy and our "Add It" feature does exactly that – it enables simple contribution for everyone with an intuitive step-by-step wizard.
Atlas ConneX
Atlas ConneX is a powerful tool for Office 365 provisioning and governance and is provided with powerful search to easily navigate across all your Atlas workspaces and O365 Groups, all in a single interface.
Atlas and Accessibility
We have made accessibility one of the key features of our Atlas proposition, driven by our passion for inclusivity and experience with accessible digital solutions.
This experience dates back to ClearPeople's inception. When service providers needed to comply with the DDA in 2004, we worked with numerous law firms to make sure their websites were compliant. We were then delighted to work with not-for-profit organisations to ensure that their websites were AA or, in some cases, AAA compliant. We also catered for specific use cases when delivering websites for the National Autistic Society and Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
More recently we delivered an engaging and accessible digital workspace that has successfully enabled CBM’s workforce to better communicate and collaborate. CBM aims to bring transformative change to the lives and communities of persons with disabilities living in poverty. Therefore, the solution not only catered for those with disabilities but had to be easily accessible to a large workforce in countries with poor technology infrastructure. It is a digital workspace solution that aims to be inclusive across borders and abilities.
All new features on Atlas are developed to conform with AA compliance
Our team of accessibility-trained testers work to achieve WCAG AA 2.1 standards both on desktop as well as mobile devices
