Business Challenges that Our Intranets Solve
|
|
Time-consuming tasks. We offer the full automation of tasks like document approval, employee recruiting, onboarding training, which speeds up business operations, boosts overall employee productivity and reduces operational costs. |
|
|
Fragmented business processes. We unite such processes as document management, project management and asset management into one system to help you to avoid the silo approach and increase efficiency. |
|
|
Low employee performance. We provide your employees with a personal digital workplace that contains all necessary SharePoint productivity and collaboration tools at their fingertips. If your business needs go beyond SharePoint functionality, we will extend your intranet’s features through integration with other Microsoft products or third-party tools. Thus, employees won’t lose time switching between the tools, which will increase their performance. |
|
|
Inefficient collaboration. We build business-oriented intranets as centers of employee collaboration. We enrich them with a range of tools (team sites, project sites, discussion boards, instant messaging) that connect employees and allow them to share information and edit documents in real time. If you choose the cloud deployment of a SharePoint intranet, we will help you to nurture collaboration even across geographically dispersed teams due to its 24/7 access and availability from different devices and browsers. |
|
|
Unorganized information storage. To facilitate and accelerate employee decision-making, we deliver business-oriented intranets that serve a single source of the company’s information: corporate news, project-related updates, organizational knowledge base, and employee handbook. We also leverage SharePoint search capabilities, for example, full-text search and personalization of content to let users quickly find relevant information. |
|
|
Compliance risks. To support a company’s compliance with internal regulations and external regulations like SOX, HIPAA, GLBA, we create a safe working environment for your employees. We enable restricting user access to SharePoint collaboration areas based on permissions and two-factor authentication. In addition, we implement audit reporting, content retention and deletion policies, which is required by compliance regulations. |
Business Processes that Our Intranets Transform
Depending on your business needs, we will fill your intranet with a set of features that facilitate and accelerate your business operations, such as:
|
Document management via document co-authoring, version tracking, automated approval, search by full text and metadata |
Project management via project and task tracking, task assigning, alerts and notifications about milestones and deadlines |
Employee management via onboarding training, scheduling of shifts, meetings, training sessions, organizational chart and employee profiles, working time and holiday tracking, employee performance and satisfaction assessment, certification testing |
