Housing Associations
Interact Intranet software has been revolutionising communication, collaboration, knowledge management and business processes in housing intranets for over 10 years.
We are the number one intranet software provider to Housing Associations and are trusted by over 20,000 RSL staff in over 70 Housing Associations, including some of the largest in the UK. This vast experience has enabled us to develop Interact Housing Edition, specifically for Housing Associations so they can provide the answer to knowledge management issues and improve internal communication and collaboration that is often broken down by a high percentage of remote workers. This tailored out-of-the-box intelligent intranet solution pushes relevant content to your users eradicating the need for them to search for it themselves.
Unlike other intranet software solutions, all data on Interact Intranet Housing Edition is interconnected and will present these links to the user. This will help users navigate through data and will automatically present them with suggestions of other relevant information including articles, best practice, discussions and events.

Interact Intranet Housing Edition can help with your Audit Commission Inspection
For example, if someone views a document on the Audit Commission inspection, Interact Intranet will intelligently present them with links to other inspection related information, such as previous inspection reports, upcoming inspections and employees associated with the inspections.
The user can move seamlessly to:
- The profile of the user who created the documents
- Other articles an author has published
- Discussions about the inspection
- Any relevant or forthcoming events / meetings taking place in the organisation about the inspection.
- With Interact Housing Edition each item of information is not isolated, but is part of a greater whole – The Interact Information Store
Interact Teams
Interact Teams breaks down company silos that can often exist in housing associations and simplifies group collaboration by providing a single platform for groups of common interests to come together and work more effectively, regardless of their location.
Interact Teams can be used to create many different teams including departmental, project, best practice and social groups. It is ideal for transient or cross-departmental projects.
With Interact Teams it is easy for Housing Associations to take critical knowledge out of individual team members’ emails and desktops and store it in a single location where it can be accessed and reviewed, by anyone at any time without the need for them to be in the office.

How Interact Housing Edition is streamlining business processes at Saxon Weald:
Before using Interact Housing Edition every update that was made to the Saxon Weald intranet had to be done by three dedicated people. Now any member of staff can add information to the intranet and Content Managers can approve items and keep the system up to date, vastly improving time management and adding to the range of information available. Documents that were previously on restricted hard drives are now accessible to the whole company, even remote workers who spend little time in the office.
Filling out paper-based forms and posting them to head office are now a thing of the past for Saxon Weald. This time-consuming and difficult process has been eradicated as they are now able to complete all forms on their intranet, taking seconds to reach the relevant person and saving money, time and the environment.
No other out-of-the-box intranet software offers this level of sophisticated intelligence
