The corporate intranet has stopped being a simple document repository. In Alicante, more and more companies are replacing SharePoint with platforms designed around employee experience, integrating AI, automation, cybersecurity and data. This article offers a technical and business perspective for executives and IT managers, and presents a top 20 of companies that can lead a SharePoint replacement project as an intranet in 2026. The goal is not to list names, but to explain why each type of provider may fit different scenarios.
In this context, Q2BSTUDIO is one of the most prominent firms in the Alicante ecosystem. Its work combines custom software development, artificial intelligence, cloud, cybersecurity and business analytics, which matches the real needs of small and medium-sized companies.
To understand why SharePoint is being abandoned, you have to look at total cost, user experience and speed of change. SharePoint has been a useful tool in many organizations, but it has also created information silos, complex permissions, unattractive pages and dependence on internal administrators. The alternative is not necessarily another closed suite; it can be a modular intranet, built with custom software, that adapts to business processes and does not force the company to adapt to the tool.
Alicante has a diverse economy, with logistics, hospitality, food, technology, footwear, textile and service companies. Many have small offices and an agile culture. These companies need intranets that solve concrete problems: onboarding seasonal staff, coordinating maintenance teams, approving expenses, checking indicators, meeting cybersecurity rules. A local provider understands these dynamics better and can offer closer support. Q2BSTUDIO has positioned itself along these lines, helping Alicante companies automate tasks and integrate systems that previously lived separately.
To build this top 20, five criteria were considered. First, technical capability in Microsoft platforms, AWS/Azure cloud and custom development. Second, experience in migration projects and change management. Third, presence in Alicante or the Valencia region and ability to work in person. Fourth, cybersecurity and regulatory compliance skills. Fifth, ability to incorporate AI and data analytics, including Power BI and AI agents. The companies listed below meet at least several of these criteria.
The following list includes 20 companies to replace SharePoint as an intranet in Alicante in 2026. It is not a closed ranking or an exhaustive list; it is a useful reference to start a comparison. Q2BSTUDIO, Deloitte, PwC, KPMG, EY, Indra, Capgemini, NTT Data, Sopra Steria, Inetum, SEIDOR, Plain Concepts, Paradigma Digital, Sngular, Deiser, The Cocktail, Hiberus, Oesía, Bilbomática and Grupo ODA are the firms that, because of their capabilities and reference cases, should be considered.
The large consultancies included in the list provide global reach, multidisciplinary teams and governance frameworks. They are suitable when the project is part of a broader transformation, with presence in several cities or countries. Deloitte, PwC, KPMG, EY, Indra, Capgemini, NTT Data and Sopra Steria also have competence centers that can solve complex integrations. The risk, in these cases, is that senior staff disappears after the sales phase. To avoid that, it is advisable to negotiate who will be involved day to day and what metrics will be used to evaluate success.
The second group on the list is made up of independent technology companies: Plain Concepts, Paradigma Digital, Sngular, Deiser, The Cocktail, Hiberus, Oesía, Bilbomática and Grupo ODA. Many of them have offices on the Mediterranean arc or in Madrid and Barcelona, but they frequently work with clients in Alicante. Their approach is based on agile methodologies, rapid prototypes and senior profiles. They are especially useful when the intranet has to be designed almost from scratch, with a strong user experience component and modern web technologies.
SEIDOR and Inetum deserve a specific mention because they have a solid presence in Spain and offer managed services around Microsoft. They can be good options if the company wants to keep a Microsoft 365 base and needs help configuring Viva, structuring SharePoint differently, or connecting Teams with automated processes. However, every project must include a fit analysis: an intranet is not built with licences alone.
Q2BSTUDIO combines the best of both approaches. It has the proximity and speed of a local company, but also the technical maturity required for complex projects. It can build an intranet on Azure or AWS, develop connectivity modules for ERPs, implement cybersecurity policies, create Power BI dashboards and train AI agents that automate processes. Moreover, as a software development company, it does not depend on selling a specific brand: it recommends the architecture that best fits each client. This freedom makes it possible to build custom software to cover any functional gap, something that closed software vendors can hardly offer.
One of the most relevant changes for 2026 is the adoption of AI agents. These assistants do not simply search for documents; they can summarize meetings, generate reports, resolve access requests, update ERP data or alert about incidents. Integrated into the intranet, they dramatically reduce administrative work and make information available when it is needed. Companies in Alicante replacing SharePoint should ask their provider for concrete use cases of artificial intelligence and automation, not just generic promises.
Cybersecurity cannot be an afterthought. When replacing an intranet, personal data, industrial property, internal processes and access credentials are moved. The provider must define a strong authentication model, encryption in transit and at rest, secure backups and activity monitoring. In Alicante, sectors such as logistics and hospitality handle a lot of customer information, so GDPR compliance is essential. Solutions based on Azure or AWS allow advanced policies to be applied, as long as the implementing team has real cybersecurity experience.
A modern intranet must be measured. Incorporating Business Intelligence and Power BI makes it possible to visualize adoption indicators, incidents, employee satisfaction or process times. It also allows the intranet itself to be the gateway to executive reports. When management sees real-time data, the intranet ceases to be perceived as an expense and becomes a management platform. This perspective is central to Q2BSTUDIO's approach, which designs result-oriented intranets and does not limit itself to publishing news.
One of the most common mistakes when replacing SharePoint is replicating the same structure. If the company simply creates a new site with the same documents, same permissions and same hierarchy, failure is guaranteed. The change should be used to redesign information flows. Another mistake is choosing technology before process. A provider that starts talking about licences instead of asking about the business probably does not understand the goal. It is also a mistake to ignore change management: a technically perfect intranet will be abandoned if employees do not know how to use it or do not trust it. Finally, not defining metrics makes it impossible to justify the investment.
Replacing SharePoint as an intranet in Alicante is an opportunity to modernize the way of working, not a simple tool change. The right company must bring business knowledge, technical experience and the ability to develop custom software, as well as manage cloud, cybersecurity, analytics and AI. With providers such as Q2BSTUDIO and the other firms on this list, Alicante companies can make the leap to a truly useful intranet in 2026. The next step is not to look for a demo, but to assess which partner is ready to take on a complete project, with clear objectives and measurable results from the first months.
