When Microsoft announced the end of Viva Goals, Teleplan didn’t just need a replacement - they wanted a tool that could connect OKRs directly to strategy. “We used to have a Fiat, now we have a BMW i4,” one of their leaders joked during training, comparing their old experience with Viva Goals to the smooth, high-performance drive of BlueJam. The move isn’t just about upgrading software - it’s about giving teams a platform built for alignment, clarity, and real strategic execution.

The Setting: Teleplan’s Global Strategy

Teleplan has delivered mission-critical software and system solutions since 1959. With operations across more than 16 countries and clients including defence, law-enforcement and utilities, alignment is not optional - it’s vital. In this ecosystem, strategy must be clear and actionable at every level.

When Teleplan Globe implemented OKRs (Objectives & Key Results) and began using Viva Goals, the aim was to align teams, translate strategy into action and monitor progress. Viva Goals provided a cloud-native solution integrated with Microsoft 365, tailored for enterprise goal-setting.

The Turning Point: Viva Goals Retirement

After a year of using Viva Goals at Teleplan Globe Microsoft announced that Viva Goals would be retired on December 31 2025. For organisations like Teleplan, this created urgency: what should we do next? How to migrate without losing momentum?

The Decision: Discovering BlueJam

Rather than scramble, Teleplan evaluated alternative platforms and settled on BlueJam. Why? Because they were looking for more than just a replacement - they wanted a tool that could scale globally, build trust in the system, and bring strategy to life. From the first moment, BlueJam offered:

• A single platform for strategy, objectives, key results, initiatives and progress

• A platform intuitive enough to onboard quickly, so strategy doesn’t stall

• A system that supports leadership teams, cross-functional collaboration and global rollout

The Migration: Smooth, Fast, and Minimal Disruption

One of the biggest fears with changing tools is the disruption: lost data, broken workflows, confused teams. Teleplan avoided that. With the expert support from the BlueJam team, they migrated all their Viva Goals data, into BlueJam, and were up and running in record time. The full leadership team were quickly onboarded and experienced a smooth transition, with zero downtime.

The Impact: Strategy Brought to Life

With BlueJam now in place, Teleplan aims to achieve:

• Clearer alignment: Teams globally will see how their work connects to strategic priorities.

• Faster decision-making: Leadership meetings can focus on insights rather than catching up on data.

• Greater ownership: Employees will understand their role, track progress, and feel part of the bigger picture.

• Stronger trust in the tool: A reliable, intuitive, and globally coherent platform will build confidence across the organization.

For Teleplan, moving to BlueJam isn’t just an IT project - it’s a strategic step toward more effective execution and alignment.

Looking Ahead

With BlueJam firmly embedded, Teleplan is positioned to deepen its execution capabilities. The next steps include rolling out adoption across more teams, further refining the OKRs model, and ensuring strategy remains a living, breathing part of daily work - not only a quarterly exercise.
