Intranets can be any internal IT system tool that enables staff or suppliers and partners to interact through internet technology. The Digital Business focuses on the power of the internal web site. These can be powerful business tools. Unfortunately, they are often seen simply as a tool that HR or internal communications staff use to get a message across to the company staff.

The potential is so much greater. We believe that powerful intranets can be a major factor in creating cultural shifts in the business. They are a critical business tool. They are an intrinsic part of the portfolio of tools available to the people who run organisations to being improved operational efficiency and effectiveness.

Powerful Intranets can bring people together across organisational boundaries. They can provide collaborative communities of interest across the business, enabling inspiring interaction and sharing which would never normally happen. They can motivate people behind the organisations brand and people management values and ethos, creating the social architecture you desire to match your business strategy.

There is a plethora of tools available to enable an Intranet to work this magic within a business, tools that go beyond the standard corporate telephone directory. However, by getting the basics right, and building-in interactivity into these core applications, you can engage visitors in unique ways.
