It’s hard to measure the business value of an intranet, and every company evaluates the success of their intranet differently. What we do know is that based on our experience, most modern intranet solutions contain up to 80% common functionality, despite varying needs and requirements. With that in mind, we created Rise, an Intranet-as-a-Service offering that provides the most commonly requested functionality for intranets right out of the box.
But is Intranet-as-a-Service right for your company? Consider the following questions:
What are your goals for your intranet? Content management? Mobile friendly experience? Simple administration? Intranet-as-a-service can offer that, and more. Easy-to-use templates make team communication and content management a breeze. Mobile and tablet responsiveness is built in, and wizard-based admin tools provide easy updates.
What is your timeline? On average, the top intranets in 2016 (as rated by the Nielsen Norman Group) took about 1.3 years to build, but they only have a shelf life of 3-5 years. Intranet-as-a-Service allows the build timeline to be reduced to weeks by using core functionality out of the box.
What is your vision for the architecture? If you require complex or unique architecture, you might be thinking Intranet-as-a-Service won’t be able to support it. But the built-in flexibility actually allows quite a bit of customization and lets you maintain centralized control.
What kind of support do you require? By nature, Intranet-as-a-Service is always evolving and staying current to trends. Support teams recognize that and will continue to support and implement the latest and greatest features.
However you choose to build and implement your intranet, we want to be a part of the conversation. What are your considerations and pain points? Let me know in the comments!
