Interact Intranet Version 4.9

Interact Teams - Your single point for group collaboration

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.

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.

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.

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, activity streams, discussion boards, image galleries, and team blogs. Team owners can turn features on or off at any point.

Outlook Integration – Keeping track of your work

Interact Intranet’s improved Outlook Integration streams data from your Microsoft Outlook account into your intranet so employees can view recurring meetings, create new tasks and edit existing tasks and make live changes directly from the homepage widget within the intranet. Staff members can also search for Outlook tasks, filter by due date and action tasks.

Image Gallery - Add collaboration to your photos and images

The new collaborative image gallery tool with its user friendly ‘drag and drop’ interface allows users to share content on their intranet through images with the ability to upload multiple images in content areas. Each image has its own comment stream to boost collaboration in your workforce and using Interact Intranet’s @tagging feature users can quickly tag others within photos. Images are automatically resized to portrait or landscape orientation, creating continuity within your intranet

The Image Gallery comes with its own dedicated widget which can promote images across homepages – a great way to engage your workforce and further boost collaboration. All galleries can be customised to control who can add and manage images, ensuring commercially sensitive images are only visible to those who need to see them.

Twitter Integration- promote real time information on your intranet homepage

This new feature  integrates into Twitter’s real-time information network by pulling live tweets directly onto your intranet homepages.

It can be configured to display tweets from a particular account, to search for a specific term or to combine both, so employees are kept up-to-date with trends specific to your industry.
