Intranets

An Intranet is simply a set of applications that are meant for internal consumption and which use internet technology.

Whether your company is small or large, consider some of the benefits of having your own intranet.

  • Employees can be kept informed via a single source
  • On demand and need based access
  • No wasteful printing and distributing.
  • Management is able to disseminate new policies and responsibilities with greater efficiency
  • Employees are able to communicate with managers who are not easily accessible
  • Employees are informed of upcoming events and promotions
  • Employees have full private access to corporate information
  • Eliminates some of the time it can take to transmit information by word of mouth
  • Have a single source for internal information
  • Keep corporate information confidential to employees only
  • Allows employees to develop their internet and IT skills.
  • Can be used to facilitate communication between employees based in different locations.
  • Can provide a standardised interface to your existing databases and applications.

We can build you a secure, versatile, up-to-date Intranet system using the Portal and CMS Plone.

Plone is a powerful, polished and user-friendly content management system.

  • Blazing fast. Plone 4 is about 50% faster than Plone 3 overall, with big improvements for both anonymous and logged-in users. Plone is one of the fastest open-source CMS platforms on the market.

  • Beautiful. Plone 4 features a brand-new default theme called "Sunburst." It's sleek, minimalist, modern and easy to customize.

  • Easy to use. Plone 4's user interface has been polished and refined so it's even more intuitive. Plone 4 includes a new graphical HTML editor (TinyMCE), improved default configuration settings and more.

  • Easy to install + upgrade. Like previous versions of Plone, we provide point-and-click installers for Windows and Mac and a simple universal installer for Linux/Unix. You can be up and running in under 10 minutes. Plone 4 is an easy upgrade from Plone 3.
