Using your company network to share and access files is great,
but implementing your own intranet is the smart way ahead.
We custom build browser-based corporate intranets to any specification,
from small-scale businesses to larger corporations and can implement
a plethora of functions and add-ons, from CMS and DMS to Powerful
Editing Software.
Typically
most companies store and share documents on a file server
or on shared drive somewhere on their local network.
However, there are various disadvantages to this:
 Organisational
problems and a general lack of clarity as to which file
goes where.Accessibility
issues - Administrators have to be vigilant over who
has certain rights to certain folders, etc.Connection
- Access can only be gained from within the
network or via third-party VPN software. |
A Browser-based intranet solves these problems and many more. A Web Browser and its related technologies make it is easy to create an interface that is accessible to many users both within and outside the organisation. This way the intranet doubles as an 'extranet'.
Navigation
and sectioned areas can be tailor designed for specific departments
whilst other areas can be secured and effectively 'out of
bounds' to certain users.Also, by using Web Browser based technology the need to install extra additional software is largely eliminated as most functionality is inherent to the Browser itself.
In addition to this the very same browser that users/employees use daily to access the web means that they're instantly familiar with the technology and interface of a browser-based intranet. This makes training or' learning curves' a non-issue.
Integrated
into a browser-based intranet a DMS (Document Management System)
is a great way to share information amongst employees. Compared
to conventional methods a browser-based system makes documents
easier to find and suitable to share on a variety of platforms
and operating systems.
Content Management Systems (CMS) allow users to edit,
update and modify content on the intranet. This may be the
Administrator editing all 'global' company content, or employees,
with restricted access, editing their own profiles and information.
We integrate a highly advanced HTML editor into our intranets,
functioning along the same intuitive lines as any standard
Word Processor software.
With a tsructured and powerful upload component our CMS can also act as a secondary content repository, allowing users to store and share files for either download or integration into their pages..
