From Connect to Beekeeper

Key Success Factors for a Rapid Rollout: How four organizations seamlessly transitioned from Connect to Beekeeper in record time.

In December 2024, the communication software Connect announced that it would cease operations due to financial reasons. This left many customers - including Spitex Glattal, Spitex Linth, another Spitex organization, and Marquis AG - facing the urgent challenge of finding a reliable alternative to ensure seamless internal communication for their teams.

Despite the short transition period, all four organizations successfully migrated to Beekeeper in less than a week. How did they achieve such a fast and successful rollout?

Key Success Factors

• Prioritizing the Onboarding Process: The four organizations understood the importance of making the transition a top priority. They dedicated time and resources to ensure the application was set up efficiently.

• Lean and Focused Project Team: A small but committed implementation team played a key role in the success. By involving 2 - 3 key people, responsibilities were distributed effectively, preventing the burden from falling on a single person. This approach streamlined platform setup, content preparation, and onboarding.

• Intensive and Hands-On Collaboration: Time investment and frequent touchpoints were crucial. The project teams held 3 - 4 meetings per week with Beekeeper to set everything up, ensuring continuous alignment and progress.

• Tailored Training Sessions: Product and Admin training sessions were customized with real use cases, making it easier for employees to grasp Beekeeper’s functionalities and see its immediate value.

Results: High Activation and Continuous Growth

Thanks to this structured and proactive approach, all organizations achieved an activation rate of over 90% within just a few days. Today, they continue developing their own processes within Beekeeper, optimizing workflows, and ensuring their employees communicate efficiently with the best tools available.

This success story demonstrates that even under tight time constraints, a smooth transition is possible. With the right strategy and clear priorities, Beekeeper can be implemented effectively and sustainably.
