Intranets
Helps a lot to understand the needs of information authors. They will do the hard work involved.
Getting into the procedure of understanding intranets for a company is not an easy one as many factors need to be considered. Both technological as well psychological. But the most valuable thing is also to understand the client's business.
Based on our content management platform we have produced various Intranet portals that actually, and in the bottom-line, they help to:
- Reduce costs of information retrieval.
- Reduce cost for standard procedures.
- Reduce training time for new-comers.
- Increase Investment return.
An intranet is mostly based intially on the commitment of the top management to stay firm and solid on their decision to have one way for information exchange and use. This also stands for example for an ERP.
The Intranet will come to join and utilize the information that exists inside a company. Hopefully and with everyone cooperating this will happen with the best possible way. Well, it never happens...
A lots of things need to be understood from the client side and us for example, to produce something really useful, as an Intranet is not a website with cms, just not visible.
Many fall for this and simply adopt out of pack solutions where they find out that these were tailored under a specific concept and are far from an actual Intranet.
But one thing never changes. No matter how complex the Intranet will be and how many inhouse or 3rd party applications can have the final user must see the information in a very simple and easy to digest way. And for us the succesful Intranet is the one that end users do not need a manual to use!
Well, the administrators will need some training though.
Usage of an Intranet
(copying some part from wikipedia)
Increasingly, intranets are being used to deliver tools and applications, e.g., collaboration (to facilitate working in groups and teleconferencing) or sophisticated corporate directories, sales and customer relationship management tools, project management etc., to advance productivity.
Intranets are also being used as corporate culture-change platforms. For example, large numbers of employees discussing key issues in an intranet forum application could lead to new ideas in management, productivity, quality, and other corporate issues.
When part of an intranet is made accessible to customers and others outside the business, that part becomes part of an extranet. Businesses can send private messages through the public network, using special encryption/decryption and other security safeguards to connect one part of their intranet to another.
Most commonly, intranets are managed by the communications, HR or CIO departments of large organizations, or some combination of these.
