Customer case study: Anglia Farmers
Anglia Farmers is the largest agricultural purchasing group in the United Kingdom. Expanding rapidly from 30 to 150 employees, the company needed a better way to communicate and share information. Process Improvement Manager, Samantha Barrell set out to find a solution that would make Anglia Farmers more agile, collaborative, and unified. You guessed it, she chose Igloo.
Fast forward to today. Anglia Farmers has an intranet (cleverly named ALFIE) that keeps 99% of employees coming back day after day. "People love it," Samantha says, and when talking about the culture she adds: "We definitely notice an improvement."

What's the difference between a space and a page?
Pages and spaces are similar in that they both collect and present content. Spaces, however, have an added level of administration allowing you to give a team or department leader complete control over their area. They can design and organize the space according to their needs – including layout, navigation, permissions, and channels – and then create a template so it can be easily duplicated.
Your Igloo comes with a certain number of spaces (based on your contract). You can set up extra spaces for $4/space/month – just ask your account manager.
Is there an easy way to share documents with external vendors?
Yes, with Igloo Integrations, you can access file sharing apps like Dropbox, Google Drive, and Office 365 right inside your Igloo. That means you can upload files for your customers, partners, or agencies without having to switch between views.
How can I encourage people to visit our site?
There are lots of creative ways to make your site sticky. Here are a few: 1) Post engaging content on a regular basis, 2) Suggest common tasks that can be completed in the intranet (vs. email) 3) Give kudos to your active users to keep them engaged, and 4) Host contests, challenges, and other fun activities to bring your lighter users on board.
