The goal of this thesis is to develop new instruments for everyday work, following its evolution in relation to work from home (WFH). In this work a real use case will be exploited to explore the potential of communication platforms. The use case regarded the request of a client company of creating a renewed, alternative system for an on-premises intranet portal focused on company’s news. To overcome the limitation of the existing portal, the focus has been on possible innovation and on providing a more comfortable usability in working from home. This work wants to allow the access to the news information from home and from mobile devices, exploiting the new technologies to develop a central hub for WFH.

The real context of business communication was analyzed, focusing on the "company news" concept, at first based on a "legacy" technology, trying to define the set of technologies that could be adopted to implement this news flow on a communication platform. The study also focused on how this can enrich and innovate the experience for the user, thanks to the features given by new technologies.
