Organize company content and wealth and investment knowledge through a governed intranet and information architecture.
This past financial services project combined an intranet build with content analysis and information architecture advice. The work took place in a wealth management and financial asset setting.
So the case extends Para's banking portfolio in a new direction, beyond digital channels and banking BI. It covers the internal knowledge that wealth and investment teams rely on.
In wealth management, the intranet must reflect how advisers think about their clients and portfolios. It must also stay an information tool and never turn into a transaction system.
Why this matters
Financial services intranets can hold broad company content. Specialist wealth teams also need information built around their own work.
If you organize content only by department or publisher, users may struggle to find information in the financial context they work in.
Content analysis shows how specialist teams look for information. That insight shapes a more useful intranet.

What the work looks like
Analyze the content landscape
Para identifies where the current intranet overlaps or confuses its users.
Where the business scope supports it, we build specialist wealth terms into the information model.
Define the information architecture
We design navigation around how users look for information, not only where authors create it.
This gives search and publishing a more lasting base.
Shape the intranet experience
The portal can show company and specialist content through one consistent experience. It can apply audience and access rules where needed.
The page structure should keep the employee experience apart from any transaction systems users reach through links or integrations.
Govern publishing and search
The intranet needs content owners and regular reviews. Without them, it will not stay useful.
This makes information governance part of the workplace, not a one-time redesign task.
Para point of view
Financial content needs domain vocabulary
Users may search by asset or portfolio instead of by the department that owns the page.
An intranet is not a transaction platform
The workplace can give context and access without pretending to replace specialist wealth or trading systems.
Analyze content before you redesign
A new navigation menu cannot fix duplication or unclear ownership on its own.
Search quality depends on architecture
Taxonomy and metadata lay the base for useful company-wide search.
