About Us

Velaku is strategic consultancy that unlocks the power of Microsoft 365 for intranets and employee communications – engaging employees seamlessly in in the flow of work.

Our ‘ah-ha’ moment came when we realized there was a unique opportunity to create real change for intranets, digital workplaces and employee communications by leveraging the worlds most ubiquitous technology – Microsoft365 – in a way no one else was doing.

We’re delivering employee experiences inside the workplace to the same standards that consumers have come to expect outside the workplace. 

We bring our decades of global, enterprise-scale experience to the creation of better solutions. The result? Superb workplace solutions that fully leverage Microsoft365 – including SharePoint, Teams and the new Viva.

Velaku reshapes the employee experience in the way communications and collaboration really happens – naturally, conversationally, seamlessly – directly in the flow of work.

What the heck is a Velaku?

The root of the name comes from the Italian word ‘vela’, meaning ‘sail’ because our Founder is an avid racing sailor.

We’ve been helping companies create, optimize and transform their intranets since literally before the term “intranet” was first coined.  We’ve worked with clients of all sizes and scales, from a few hundred employees within the US, to over 100,000 employees operating around the globe. We’ve worked with all industries and sectors.

We’re a long-time Microsoft Partner, and a member of two innovation accelerators: Microsoft for Startups and Women In Cloud, and a member of the StrategyMuse co-op, expanding our capabilities and capacities to meet the needs of all our clients.

Our services are also available in the Microsoft AppSource Marketplace and the Women In Cloud Solutions Marketplace, We fully leverage the scale, reach and resources of Microsoft for all our clients.

We’re thrilled to have the power of our Microsoft Partnership behind our mission to transform the way companies communicate with and engage their employees.

Driven by our philosophy that employees should be treated and have communications like customers, our goal is quite simple: to improve the employee experience through communications and make it as seamless and comfortable as the customer experience. This means giving communications and HR professionals the tools within Microsoft365 to engage employees. The potential for communications now goes far beyond the decades-old use of mere intranets, portals and email.

Our services and approach enable companies to engage employees faster, easier and more effective by creating, distributing and activating content across multiple channels inside and outside the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.
