Facilitating and encouraging internal collaboration can be the key to gaining a competitive advantage. But an out-dated intranet solution without collaboration tools can severely hinder a company’s ability to innovate and operate efficiently, resulting in it being outperformed by competitors. An easy to use intranet solution with enterprise 2.0 tools can play vital part in engaging employees and establishing a collaboration culture.
 
Your organisation can be more productive and innovative with an intranet solution that enables you to:

• Easily set up team and projects areas where employees can contribute and share new ideas.  This can cut down on face to face meetings, reducing the travelling time, and therefore cutting costs, particularly if staff is spread across different locations.
• Empower staff by providing them with the ability to contribute opinions and share knowledge thus improving overall staff morale.
• Effortlessly find experts in the organisation to help solve a business need.  Successful intranets achieve this by having extended profiles in the staff directory which facilitate people being able to find each other - listing the specific expertise, skills and knowledge of a member of staff enables searches to be made for sources of knowledge.
• Add comments to articles, or contribute to a collective wiki, which means that collective knowledge is harnessed, retained and shared.

Interact Intranet can help your organisation promote the collaboration environment that your organisation requires by offering:

• Easy to use tools such as blogs, comments, micro blogs, forums, and polls.
• A wiki style content WYSIWYG editor specifically developed with non-technical staff in mind.
• An intuitive staff directory which allows you to search for subject experts.
• Personal staff profile pages where employees can publish past and present projects, which teams they belong to, and their interests.
• Homepage widgets and alerts which inform you when other staff members have commented on articles you have authored or contributed to.
• Team and project calendars which can be displayed through a homepage widget.
• The ability to set up project/team areas.
