Cerkl Adds Microsoft-Approved SharePoint Web Part for Personalized Employee News
New integration brings targeted internal communications directly into SharePoint environments employees already use.
Cincinnati, OH – April 23, 2019 – Cerkl today announced the addition of a Microsoft-approved SharePoint web part to its Broadcast platform, enabling organizations to deliver personalized employee news directly within SharePoint. The new web part allows internal communicators to meet employees where they already work, without duplicating content or relying solely on email.
The SharePoint web part integrates directly with Broadcast and uses Cerkl’s personalization engine to ensure each employee sees content relevant to them based on role, department, location, and other attributes. News is dynamically updated and securely authenticated, ensuring employees only see content they are permitted to access.
“SharePoint is a critical hub for many organizations, but it has traditionally struggled to surface the right information to the right people,” said Tarek Kamil, CEO and Founder of Cerkl. “By bringing Broadcast directly into SharePoint, communicators can deliver timely, personalized updates without asking employees to change their habits.”
The Microsoft-approved web part embeds a personalized news feed within SharePoint pages, allowing organizations to maintain a single source of truth for internal content while extending its reach across channels. Content published in Broadcast automatically appears in SharePoint, eliminating manual reposting and reducing the risk of outdated information.
“Internal communicators are under pressure to increase engagement while managing multiple channels,” said Rachel Folz, Head of Product at Cerkl. “This integration gives them a practical way to make SharePoint more relevant and easier to maintain, while preserving governance and control.”
The SharePoint web part is part of Cerkl’s broader omni-channel strategy, which enables organizations to deliver consistent, personalized communication across email, intranet, collaboration tools, and mobile experiences.
