Social Intranet

Vital for sharing knowledge and promoting collaboration in any organisation

Interact Intranet has all the features of a traditional intranet but also offers a number of social intranet tools that allow employees to collaborate more quickly and effectively than ever before. As more organisations begin to embrace social media it is predicted by Garter that by 2014, social networking services will replace e-mail as the primary vehicle for interpersonal communications for 20 percent of business users and by 2012 50% of organisations will benefit from the use of micro-blogging.

In our experience there are a number of benefits that having a social intranet can bring to an organisation such as; enhanced employee engagement, faster decision making, improved knowledge sharing from all levels and departments to help breakdown company silos, increased innovation, which in turn leads to greater satisfaction in the workplace and this filters through to the customer experience.

Social intranets also need the intelligence that Interact Intranet offers to ensure that the right content is pushed to individual users so that they keep commenting and collaborating. By pushing the right articles, forums, blogs to users you have a much better chance of your intranet being a success.

All our clients benefit from our expertise in making sure the right governance is in place from the beginning so that the full benefits of a social intranet can be achieved. This ultimately helps people see the intranet as an outlet for ideas and shared thoughts to help promote people using their intranet to post ideas, start discussions and interact with colleagues.

Here are just some of the social intranet features within Interact Intranet:
