Top Features That Make a Great Corporate Intranet Solution

‘Efficiency’ is a word that often comes up during team meetings and project brainstorming sessions in today’s organizations. It is something that senior management is always trying to achieve. One of the big factors that drive efficiency and helps a company run smoothly is the communication chain.

Today, organizations of all sizes are turning to Intranet portals to streamline their communication and promote employee self-services - to achieve optimum efficiency. As company-wide Intranet portals continue to gain more popularity, it is important to understand features that make an effective portal. At ITCube our Intranet Portal Solution - ITConnect has helped many businesses elevate their corporate communication performance. Here are some of the top features that every Intranet Portal must have!

An Intuitive Design

Design plays a crucial part in any Intranet portal as it is expected that employees will be using it daily to stay updated with the company’s HR and other communication. An intuitive design makes sure that the portal can be easily used by anyone right from a new employee to the company’s senior managers. An effective intranet design ultimately leads to employees finding information easily and spending more time on productive work.

Collaborative Tools

With many employees, come many ideas and opinions. A good Intranet portal should tap into the potential of employees proactively taking part in discussions and knowledge sharing. Collaborative tools such as discussion boards, polls, blogosphere provide a different way for users to communicate and make their voice heard in the company. Employees who feel that their opinions are valued often put extra effort and work with enthusiasm to achieve the company’s goals!

Secure Content Management

Since a lot of communication on the Intranet will be in the form of different documents and content, it is key for the Intranet portal to have the necessary security and permission matrix. An easy-to-use content management panel makes it easier for the admins to maintain and navigate through content such as company news, HR policies, blogs, discussion boards, etc.

Intelligent Search Capability

With so much information available on the Intranet portal in various different forms, having intelligent search capability is a must! It allows users to quickly insert keywords and search for relevant content or documents in no-time.

On-Cloud Availability

A good Intranet portal should be accessible to everyone outside the company’s network. Today, not everyone is confined to work from an office with many employees working on-site and remotely. Intranet Portals like ITConnect can be deployed on-cloud so that the users have 24x7 access be it from the web or their mobile devices. Ensuring 100% accessibility also has a positive effect on turn-around time for communication that needs urgent attention.
