INTRANET PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
How do you plan and develop the ideal intranet?
Although similar to websites in many ways, intranet planning and development has key factors that set it apart. If it is to be used as an effective communication tool rather than just another document repository it is essential to understand the differences and to know how to maintain an effective intranet as well as how to develop your intranet. Key issues to be aware of include:
- Intranet security
- Defining custom content to appropriate user groups
- Defining custom content based upon different physical locations
- How you will maintain and manage your intranet content
- How you will monitor usage of your intranet
That is where having a good company is so important for defining your intranet strategy and development needs.
If you are looking for help with your intranet development, whether this is consultancy on development, creating an intranet strategy or a full intranet implementation then get in touch with us now.
What is the ideal Intranet software?
There are a wide range of tools to help you develop your intranet, but what is equally important is having a partnership with an intranet development company that knows how to identify what is in your best interest. There is no point setting up an "out of the box" intranet if it is too complicated to use, or doesn't meet your core needs.
At Nvisage, we first identify through practical consultation with your key stakeholders what you need and then propose a solution. Typically we use the Ektron CMS400 as a platform as it is an excellent content management system and easy to use. It also has a wide range of very useful applications built in such as:
- Polls
- Surveys
- Members area
- Podcasts
- Wiki
- Social networking features
Our Experience of developing intranets
The problem of developing intranets is that you can't see other people's intranets as you can their corporate website. This means it's a lot harder to know what makes a good intranet. Therefore it is even more important that you have an intranet development partner that can provide effective advice as well as create an intranet tailored to your needs.
We have a great deal of experience in developing intranets and providing intranet consultancy to a wide range of organisations including:
- Random House
- The National Council for Voluntary Organisations
- The European Consortium for Debt Relief and Aid Donors
- NLNG - world's fastest growing energy company
- BP
- Unilever
- East Sussex County Council
Whether you want consultancy on your intranet development, a full intranet suite or something specific such as intranet document software we are here to help.
