Most companies have an intranet in one form or another. They are becoming an important internal channel for communication and collaboration.
Intranets have the potential to provide up-to-date information that employees will need on a day-to-day basis, and to act as a hub from which internal web applications are accessed.
Your intranet should be the first port of call for employees who are trying to find information. Users must be able to find the information they need quickly, and that information must be current and relevant; this will save many hours of staff time.
Many intranets have evolved from a few web pages thrown together by a member of the IT team. The result is usually a large number of unstructured, inconsistent pages maintained by staff using a hotchpotch of text and HTML editors.
To provide an easy-to-use intranet you need to put as much effort into its development as you would put into a customer-facing website. This means creating an attractive look and feel, designing a well thought out navigation structure and developing properly designed web pages. It is also essential that you implement a Content Management System that is appropriate for the skill level of your content editors, so that they can keep the content up-to-date.
