Interact Teams

Break down company silos and encourage innovation by simplifying group collaboration on your intranet

Interact Teams breaks down company silos and simplifies group collaboration by providing a single platform for communities of common interests. It allows colleagues to come together and work more effectively, regardless of their location.

Companies can use Interact Teams to create many different communities of common interest such as; departmental, project, best practice and social groups. It is ideal for transient or cross-departmental projects.

Turn your intranet into a single point for group collaboration

With Interact Teams it is easy for companies to take critical knowledge out of individual team members’ emails and desktops and store it in a single location within a team area where it can be accessed and reviewed, thus promoting a high level of traceability and findability.

Allowing staff members to come together to openly achieve a common goal empowers them to make more informed business decisions, develop different approaches and create new ideas to solve existing business problems. Importantly, Interact Teams enables the workforce to create and engage in their own communities – creating greater sense of ownership and increasing employee participation.

Discover existing teams, join teams, and start collaborating

A team can be set as open, private or hidden. Staff members can easily find and join open and private teams via the search engine or team directory. In contrast, hidden teams can be only viewed and accessed by invitation.

Access to a team is governed by the membership type of the team. Open teams automatically approve joining requests whereas a joining request for a private or hidden team must be approved by the team owner. Employees can leave a team at any point, revoking their own access to team content.

Create and manage teams without technical knowledge

Employees with the right permissions can add new teams and manage existing teams via the team directory. Since teams are membership based rather than permission driven, minimum effort is required by team owners to administer a team. In addition, your intranet administrators govern who can create new teams and the types of teams they can create.

To eliminate the time consuming build process and need for training, Interact Teams comes with pre-defined templates. These templates include features such as; comments, calendars, activity streams, discussion boards, image galleries, and team blogs. Team owners can turn features on or off at any point.
