Intranet – is your business missing out?

Often overlooked by many businesses and organisations, the implementation of an intranet can revolutionise the way you work, drive down costs and improve efficiency.

At its most basic, an intranet is an internal website or series of websites that contain company based information that is not visible on the wider internet. By using modern CMS based tools such as Joomla, it is possible to expand the scope of your intranet site to include some of the following:

Access to shared documents and resources. It’s an easy way to centralise fragmented information like policy and procedure documents and commonly used links to external websites.

Access Control. Modern intranet sites should support a number of different access levels, from administrator down to basic user. This then allows the intranet to become a resource for accounting, HR information and anything else that requires access control.

Events Calendar. A centralised source for appointments, work schedules and social events at company, department and even team level, can aid collaboration and communication.

Message Boards. Allowing a facility for employees to express frustrations, work out solutions and share ideas is a powerful tool, and by providing this through the intranet it helps to ensure that communication is both positive and focused.

Task Management. Interactive “to do” lists are great for managers and employees, providing a single point to list, retrieve and respond to tasks as they are managed throughout a working day.

Easy Search. A good intranet site should offer a “key word” based search engine to make it easy to find and access all available information stored.

Custom Modules. From holiday booking forms to graphical report distribution, we can create an intranet site that can meet your requirements to aid efficiency, control process and keep everyone informed.
