Core offering

CYCL sells subscription-based enterprise intranet and digital workplace software, branded under the LiveTiles product line, that organizations use to build branded intranet sites, mobile employee apps, and self-service employee directories on top of Microsoft 365/SharePoint and Azure. The platform is configured through no-code tools with AI-assisted design and is sold to global enterprise customers for connecting distributed and hybrid workforces.

Product overview

LiveTiles (now part of Omnia) offers a unified digital employee experience platform comprised of three core products: LiveTiles Intranet (a SharePoint-based intranet hub for communication, collaboration, and engagement), LiveTiles Reach (a mobile employee app for frontline workers), and LiveTiles Directory (an automated active directory solution). These products share Microsoft 365 integration, branding and personalization capabilities, and security infrastructure (Azure, Okta, ISO27001). Operations Center and Everywhere Widget are platform-level components that enhance the core offerings. The portfolio is transitioning to the Omnia brand as part of a consolidation initiative.
