Intranet Systems for Companies
An Intranet or Internal Website is a useful tool for any company. Normally positioned behind a firewall it is secure, centrally managed and above all allows complete control for you, the client. Using the credentials from each Users account also prevents the need for further usernames and passwords to be used in order to authenticate each user.
With all the information stored in a single repository, it also eliminates the issues that often occur with multiple versions of documents being stored around the company. Backing up and securing the data is also a much easier task as it is all stored centrally in one location.
What to include on an Intranet is really down to your requirements. An Intranet is not only modular in design, allowing extra sections added on as required but also secure by design. This allows you to specify which sections of the Intranet are accessible to sections of your workplace.
Some examples of modules to consider in an Intranet are listed below but feel free to

Are your internal contacts managed by an application or on a spreadsheet that is emailed around on a weekly basis? Centralising this information allows you to not only determine what you want stored and who you want to see it but also it is updated once and every users data is as well. Seemless integration into Active Directory can also be provided if required. This information can also be exposed to other applications such as sales staffs PDA's or a website via a web service to allow contact into the company as well, but sensitive information to remain hidden from external sources.
Centrally managed document storage ensures that users are always presented with the latest version of any document. Locating the document can also be assisted by searching on content where applicable or associated keywords. Previous versions of documents can also be stored so comparisons made when queries arise. Selected documents can also be made available on the website.
Searchable News and Events can be easily entered and presented in a searchable structured manner.
