Nordson optimizes its SharePoint portal
Jerry Bendobler, Head Data Analyst for Nordson, said visitor activity, navigation, and search reports were essential elements of optimizing Nordson’s SharePoint portal.
“One function of our intranet is that it acts as an information portal for employees, handled by our corporate communications department,” Bendobler said. “They were challenged to find a tool that would increase readership and viewership of the employee section, with the objective to increase overall adoption rates.”
After trying various solutions, Nordson’s communications department used CardioLog Analytics and found its metrics and insights valuable. Nordson also liked its integration with SharePoint Active Directory. Nordson was able to identify visitor activity and navigation metrics generated with CardioLog Analytics usage tracking reports. With this data, Nordson could identify its users’ primary resources, which shaped its plan for optimizing the newsletter and the newsletter’s location within SharePoint.
“With CardioLog Analytics, we were able to identify the most useful resources for users,” Bendobler said. “We then saw a massive increase of interest in using the intranet, because once they started using the SharePoint portal, they kept surfing and searching for more resources.”
Nordson increased its overall Office 365 consumption by 48 percent within the first six months and improved adoption by 35 percent over the same period.
“We have now been using CardioLog Analytics for several years, generating monthly reports,” Bendobler said. “We can undoubtedly support its quality, stability, accuracy, innovation, and ease of deployment with the usage experience we’ve had.”
