The traditional method of implementing an intranet would be to purchase a software program, modify it to your requirements, and install it in your system.
Over the past couple of years, another option is continuing to grow in popularity - the implementation of a web-based solution.
As you consider the choice between installed software along with a web-based intranet, here are some considerations:
1. The most important dependence on any intranet is that everyone uses it.
To make sure broad-based participation, the intranet should be simple to apply, easy to use, cost-effective to keep, and offer every individual user the ability to publish, access and employ content in a manner that serves their specific needs. In short, the intranet should have value to everyone.
Web-based intranets are designed around this concept. The interface and navigation are in line with their technique web - a breeding ground in which they feel in control, using familiar tools.
In contrast, the business world is littered with countless elegant and feature-rich soft-ware based intranets which have failed. Why? Because they represented an alien environment into that the user was likely to venture. Few employees had time or the interest (or courage) to enter, rendering the intranet impotent, with the powerful tools unused.
This is the plight of traditional, out-of-the-box software programs. Unlike web-based intranets, they force users right into a constrained environment requiring in-depth training, built around rules created for the group, as opposed to the individual.
2. Software intranets have unpredictable costs: in time, attention and money.
Software based solutions require extensive internal support. The continuing expense in both staff time and money takes the main focus of the IT group away from mission-critical tasks.
System integration, Implementation, maintenance, technology upgrades, training and user support are all on-going tasks that represent a significant, recurring investment. The price can be substantial, far exceeding your initial license cost and fee every month.
3. Web-based intranets provide a predictable cost and cutting-edge technology.
It's for these reasons that companies needing broad-based participation in a changing environment are choosing web-based intranets over traditional software programs.
