The Benefits of Intranet Development:
Businesses of all sizes can benefit from personalized employee intranet systems. Corporate intranets enable staff to work securely from home through a Virtual Private Network (VPN) or similar programs specifically designed for safe access to company resources.
No matter where your team is located or what time zones they operate in, an intranet design allows staff to access, manage, and collaborate on documents, business projects, communications, staff directories, and other critical functions necessary to keep your company running smoothly. Employee intranet systems can be accessed from anywhere without requiring specialized hardware, giving your team the flexibility to maintain productivity.
Our intranet development services include setting up secure, remote access so your employees can continue performing essential everyday tasks whenever they are unable to work from an office due to travel constraints, emergency restrictions, or other challenges.
Why Should You Consider an Intranet?
Implementing an intranet can solve a variety of business problems experienced by companies relying solely on public-facing websites or fragmented communication tools. An effective intranet can interface with multiple business systems, sales systems, customer databases, service location address lists, and client communication systems, allowing all of these elements to function efficiently under one secure access management system.
Here are some key website/business problems that an intranet can help address:
-
Information Overload on the Public Website
Problem: Public websites often become cluttered with internal documents, employee resources, or outdated content not meant for customers.
Intranet Solution: Move all internal-facing resources (HR documents, policies, training materials) to an intranet, keeping the public website clean and focused on customers.
-
Disorganized Internal Communication
Problem: Important updates, memos, or announcements get lost in emails or Slack threads.
Intranet Solution: Centralize announcements, internal news, and leadership communications in a shared portal, ensuring visibility and easy access.
-
Inefficient Resource Management
Problem: Employees can't find the latest versions of documents, leading to confusion and duplicated work.
Intranet Solution: Host version-controlled documents in a centralized intranet with search functionality and access control.
-
Limited Access to Internal Tools and Links
Problem: Employees waste time digging through bookmarks or emails to find internal systems.
Intranet Solution: Offer a centralized "toolbox" with quick links to essential tools, portals, and apps (e.g., payroll, CRM, ticketing systems).
-
Knowledge Loss from Employee Turnover
Problem: Institutional knowledge walks out the door when employees leave.
Intranet Solution: Create a central knowledge base where employees document processes, FAQs, and best practices over time.
-
Redundant Internal Requests
Problem: HR, IT, and admin teams get overwhelmed with repetitive employee questions.
Intranet Solution: Build a self-serve knowledge center or FAQ area to reduce helpdesk load.
-
Security Concerns from Using External Platforms
Problem: Employees use Google Docs, Dropbox, or other unsecured platforms to share internal documents.
Intranet Solution: Host all critical internal content within a secured, access-controlled intranet environment.
