Employee intranet and internal communications platform

IC thought-leadership feed, now with a real launch: AI Control Center

intranetinternal-commsai-governanceenterprise-aiemployee-experience
Current state
Simpplr's feed is mostly internal-communications thought-leadership — its 2026 State of IC report, shadow-AI strategies, manager enablement — but it also carries a concrete product move: the launch of AI Control Center, an AI-governance layer. The mix signals a vendor positioning its intranet as an AI-oversight surface, not just a comms tool.
Where it's heading
The throughline is Simpplr attaching itself to enterprise AI governance — pairing IC research about AI's strain on teams with a product that gives IT visibility into AI running across the org. Expect the governance angle to keep crowding out generic IC content.
Prediction
Likely follow-ups extend AI Control Center with more policy and data-flow controls, and lean on the Forrester-survey framing to sell governance to IT buyers.
