An intranet is a protected website only available to you and your fellow work colleagues. It’s a great place to share company updates, useful links and key documents and templates.
An intranet should do away with emailing documents and company-wide alerts. It provides a central location for all your company’s information.
Is an intranet another website?
A public-facing website has a marketing component. An intranet allows your team to get key information anywhere they have a browser. That could be from a mobile device, their laptop or tablet.
People visit an intranet to get key information quickly. That’s why good search and good structure is the most important aspect.
