# Lightspeed365

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/537937/Lightspeed365

> Lightspeed365 is built for internal communications, HR and IT teams at mid-sized and enterprise businesses that already run Microsoft 365 and want more than SharePoint gives them out of the box.&#10;&#10;If that describes you, the symptoms probably do too. Employees ask a colleague instead of searching, because they do not trust they will find the current version of a policy or form. The intranet looks like default SharePoint rather than your brand. Comms and HR sit in an IT queue to publish a news article. And when leadership asks whether the intranet is working, you have page views and little else.&#10;&#10;Lightspeed365 addresses those problems without replacing the platform you already pay for. It installs into your existing SharePoint Online environment and adds more than 30 web parts and a library of branded page and site templates. AI-powered search and a structured people directory make content and colleagues findable. An app launcher puts everyday tools one click away. Handbooks turn scattered guides and policies into a searchable interface. Alerts, noticeboards and a personalized welcome bar give employees a reason to return. Site provisioning adds approval workflow so the intranet does not sprawl as it grows. Audience targeting by Entra group means people see what is relevant to their role, location or division.&#10;&#10;Everything runs inside your own Microsoft 365 tenant. There is no separate platform to govern, no data leaving your environment, and no Azure infrastructure to stand up or maintain. Your existing permissions, compliance posture and Microsoft licensing stay exactly as they are, which is usually what shortens the security review.&#10;&#10;It connects to the Microsoft tools you already use: SharePoint Online, Microsoft Teams and Viva Connections, Entra ID for identity and targeting, Outlook, and Microsoft Clarity for engagement analytics so you can show leadership adoption trends rather than anecdotes. Lightspeed365 also sits alongside Microsoft Copilot rather than competing with it. Our AI search works across your intranet content, and content editors can keep using Copilot to draft pages and news in SharePoint.&#10;&#10;Businesses buy it in one of two ways. If your intranet works but looks generic and you have internal SharePoint skills, buy the license, swap native web parts for ours, apply your branding, and go live in about a week without running a project. If you are replacing something end of life or building from scratch, our consultants deliver the full engagement, typically eight to twelve weeks, covering discovery, information architecture, design, content migration and launch support.&#10;&#10;Every license includes installation, configuration documentation and a customer success call. Ongoing support is by email and phone, backed by a knowledge base, video library and live online training for content editors and administrators. Implementation packages scale from a light launch through to enterprise transformation, so you can take as much or as little help as you need.&#10;&#10;Lightspeed365 is used across utilities, financial services, legal, pharmaceutical, retail, transport, professional services and the non-profit sector. It is built by Content Formula, a Microsoft 365 consultancy designing intranets since 2005, so the team that builds the product also implements it. Users include Severn Trent, Baringa and Dixons Acadamies Trust, and it holds a 4.8 rating on G2.&#10;&#10;It is available as a one-time perpetual license or an annual subscription, purchasable directly, through Microsoft Marketplace, or through the UK government G-Cloud framework.&#10;&#10;Best fit: businesses of roughly 150 to 2,500 employees on Microsoft 365 who want a branded, well-adopted intranet without leaving SharePoint. Less suited: businesses not using Microsoft 365, or those wanting a standalone social platform rather than an intranet.&#10;&#10;You can trial Lightspeed365 for 14 days in your own tenant before committing.

## About the vendor

- **Company**: Content Formula

## Commercial Context

- **Starting Price**: US$1.00
- **Pricing model**: Other (Free Trial)
- **Pricing Details**: What determines your price&#10;&#10;Three things: which Lightspeed365 packages you need, whether you buy a perpetual license or an annual subscription, and your employee count band.&#10;&#10;Core&#10;&#10;Core is a complete intranet, not an entry tier. It includes 30+ web parts, branded site and page templates, the branding customiser with sub-branding for multi-brand businesses, the people directory, structured handbooks and files explorer, targeted news and alerts, audience targeting through your existing Entra ID groups, app launcher, welcome bar, polls, accordions, content scheduling, page feedback, multilingual support, Microsoft Clarity analytics and the Teams app for desktop and mobile.&#10;&#10;Configuration video guides for every web part are included, so comms and HR teams are self-sufficient from day one.&#10;&#10;Premium apps&#10;&#10;Premium apps are enterprise-grade extensions, licensed separately: AI search, push notifications, subscriptions, noticeboard, site index and site provisioning.&#10;&#10;Premium is not an upgrade to Core. Buy Premium apps alongside Core, or as standalone additions to an existing SharePoint intranet with no Core license at all. Add them individually at any point.&#10;&#10;One thing to plan for: AI search may require additional Azure resources, scoped with your IT team during setup. That cost sits in your own Azure subscription rather than your Lightspeed365 license.&#10;&#10;Perpetual licence. A one-time purchase. You licence the current version of Lightspeed365 Core at your purchase date and keep it indefinitely, with support and maintenance included for the first 12 months. Feature releases published and support after that date are not included. &#10;&#10;Annual subscription. Includes every new web part, feature release and product update for as long as the subscription runs, with support throughout.&#10;&#10;Most businesses choose subscription. Perpetual is most common in public sector and regulated environments where a capital purchase or a fixed, validated version is a requirement.&#10;&#10;Employee count bands&#10;Licensed per tenant and banded by employee count. Price is set by band, not per user, so cost does not change as headcount moves within a band.&#10;&#10;Included with every license&#10;Installation, configuration documentation, configuration video guides for every web part, and a customer success call.&#10;&#10;Implementation is optional&#10;Businesses with internal SharePoint skills buy the license, swap native web parts for ours, apply branding and go live in around a week.&#10;&#10;Where a full build is needed, we can cover discovery, information architecture, design, content migration and launch support, typically over eight to twelve weeks. Delivered by Content Formula directly. The same team that develops the product implements it, with no outsourced partners or third-party resellers.&#10;&#10;Free trial&#10;14 days in your own Microsoft 365 tenant, no credit card required.
