Interact Intranet Version 5
The next level of intranet intelligence
Interact Intranet version 5 intelligently connects you to relevant information and makes Intranet Managers life’s much easier.
At Interact we believe content should find people and Interact Intranet version 5 is built upon this very principle. This significant update to Interact Intranet includes a number of intelligent and social collaboration features which will provide huge business benefits to your organisation.
Ensure Interact Intranet is doing the hard work for you;
Interact Intranet version 5 has an improved intelligence store, it is the brain of the intranet and the core around which all content promotion is built. It has had a remodelled algorithm that helps content to find people more intuitively.
Interact Personal Page
The Interact Personal Page provides a dedicated, user- centric homepage on the intranet that is intelligently tailored to fit the needs of the individual user. Unlike traditional personal homepages Interact Intranet monitors users interactions with the intranet and scans their interests, skills and searches to intelligently push tailored content directly to the end user. Building on one of Interact Intranet’s fundamental principles, the Interact Personal Page intelligently brings together content, teams and people via a number of clever widgets, so employees can quickly find information relevant to them and prevent valuable time being wasted searching for content.

Interact Suggests
Interact Suggests works with the Interact Personal Page by actively pushing you tailored information based on what it thinks you might want to know. It does this by scanning a number of criteria including your skills, historical searches and documents you’ve commented on. This exceptionally intelligent tool indexes the user and suggests information they may be interested in which could be crucial to their job, saving your employees time and effort as well as reducing the pressure for Intranet Managers.
The Signpost Widget
The Signpost Widget guides users around the intranet, informing them of missing areas in their profiles and allowing them to discover features they have not yet used. The Signpost Widget performs the tasks automatically, freeing up time for intranet managers therefore eliminating this huge burden and increasing intranet usage and adoption.
The Signpost Widget fulfils three key objectives:
- Ensures user profiles are complete and up-to date
- Promotes ‘making life easier’ components of your intranet
- Educates the user about all of the features in your intranet
With Interact Intranet version 5 you can now ‘Share’ and ‘Like’ content on your intranet with two new features that make collaboration instant and effortless.
The Share feature allows you to share a piece of content that you think is of value and would be of interest to your colleagues . This is a quick and easy way to start collaborating on your intranet and promote content including blogs, forums and documents.
You can choose to send an alert notification to your co-workers if you want them to be directly notified of the content you are sharing or simply choose to share it on your profile page.
The ‘Like’ feature lets you ‘like’ a piece of content including a document, forum post and image . Quickly and easily begin to collaborate on your intranet by simply clicking the ‘like’ feature button which creates a connection between yourself, the piece of content and the contents author.
When you ‘like’ a post, it is shown as an entry in the Collaboration Space Widget, news feed and directly on your profile page. By pressing the like button the user gives a personal endorsement of an item therefore creating a connection with the item and ultimately its author. Once a document is ‘liked’, the document is rated, placing a ranking against it, improving take-up.

Discussion Forums
The Discussion Forums have had a dramatically simplified and intuitive interface upgrade as well as many significant functional enhancements to make it easier for employees to communicate, share ideas and collaborate.
The Discussion Forums within Interact Intranet version 5 strengthen the knowledge sharing goal in two ways:
Increasing adoption – making it easier for ground-level users to use discussion forums and simplify their creation and moderation.
Improving the relevance and quality of employee created content within discussion forums.
Benefits of the updated Discussion Forums in Interact Intranet:
- By scanning the keywords in your discussion forums Interact Intranet intelligently suggests existing forums that may be similar to the one you are adding, preventing duplication of content.
- Intelligent thread creation – Interact Intranet’s auto suggest feature prevents duplicating threads or creating them in the wrong discussion forums. This ensures that new threads meet the purpose of the forum and topics are channelled.
- Each forum can have multiple moderators, reducing the burden of responsibility on the owner.
- Advanced moderator notification settings can be tailored for individual discussion forums so moderators can be alerted when a new discussion thread is created or even for each new post added.
- Attachments – upload multiple files to discussion threads and posts.
- Users have the ability to opt-in to receiving alert notifications when a new post is made, ensuring you never miss a response to your forum.
- @tag your fellow employees within posts – if your discussion forum relates to one of your co-workers simply @tag them so they will be notified of the update
- Choose whether to write a ‘quick reply’ which is a free text field or a full reply that uses the WYSIWYG editor and allows attachments and @ Tagging documents.
