TYPES OF EMPLOYEE INTRANET

It is possible to create an employee intranet using software downloaded from the web such as WordPress, which is then hosted on a company server. However, it requires a considerable investment of time and resources in developing, testing and piloting the intranet software. Furthermore, often the software has not been created for that specific purpose. Extra add-ons and plug-ins to achieve the required functionality can make for a convoluted and challenging exercise even for a dedicated IT department.

Cloud employee intranets, on the other hand, are a far more straightforward option.

Cloud intranet providers utilize fully customizable pre-built intranet templates. The templates have already been extensively tested in the field which means your site can be up and running in just a few days. Easy to set up, no great technical expertise is needed to create your own unique employee intranet. What’s more, cloud intranets offer good value for money. Usually, services are provided at a fixed monthly price and may also cover unlimited users and unlimited data. Cost certainty, as well as a very reasonable price, provide an unbeatable combination.

It’s no surprise, therefore, that most companies deploying intranet software opt for the simple choice of cloud employee intranets over the do-it-yourself option.
