Aviva Europe - intranet migration

posted 22 Aug 2010 13:08 by Camilla Herrmann   [ updated 22 Aug 2010 13:33 ]

"Camilla's skills as an experienced and first-rate communicator who not only understands but actually enjoys the technical aspects of the job mean she's greatly in demand.

When I was faced with the prospect of managing the migration of content from 12 countries onto our intranet, meaning we had to build sites in languages from Russian (Cyrillic) to Hungarian and Italian to Polish, as well as deal with translations from English within Sharepoint, I knew Camilla was the only person who could master the challenge. And she did, with style! Her technical know-how and refusal to be defeated by the most complex of problems means we now have a leading edge, multi-lingual intranet that we're very proud of.

She's a clear thinker, focused and always had the end-user in mind, and what she doesn't know about Sharepoint isn't worth knowing! I couldn't recommend her more highly."  August 2010

Aviva - intranet development

“I have worked with Camilla in both editorial and intranet development roles. As an editor and journalist she is first-class with excellent writing skills and a fantastic eye for detail. As an intranet manager and developer I can think of no one better. She is very well organised, has excellent project management skills and gets things done.

“If it wasn’t for Camilla’s work at Aviva I doubt whether the company’s global intranet would have launched on time. The fact that she was then chosen to help migrate nearly half a million pages from the company’s existing UK intranet says it all. Camilla’s skills are in such demand that she has since been snapped up for a similar role in Aviva Europe. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.” May 2009

“Camilla worked for IHG on a three month contract to help us launch Merlin, our new global intranet. She 'hit the ground running' and very quickly gained a detailed understanding of the requirements and challenges of a very complex project. She became a committed advocate for the project, and was very effective negotiating for support and involvement from personnel across the world, including at the senior level.

“Camilla's attention to detail and high standards were instrumental in getting us to the ultimately successful launch of our intranet, and I would recommend her for similar projects without hesitation." February 2007
