Social Intranet Study… Business Turns Social
This Social Intranet Study examines social media use on corporate intranets and the magnitude, use, and popularity of social media by employees and executives. The study findings and analysis are based on the survey conducted between late May and early June 2011 by Toby Ward, Prescient Digital Media, in association with the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC). The results reveal rapid adoption of social media on the corporate intranet in the past year.
The survey was completed by over 1,401 participants in small, medium and large organizations in all types of industries, from all corners of the globe.

Cartella – A New Intranet for a New Workforce
Today employees expect business software to be as friendly and productive as the social tools they use every day on the web. According to Ingeniux… now it is. The Ingeniux Intranet Edition is a new kind of intranet for a new kind of workforce. It supports mobile phones and tablets out-of-the-box, provides a full suite of business and social software tools that encourage employee participation, and makes critical information instantly accessible.
You can use the Ingeniux Intranet Edition to launch employee directories, manage documents, create secure work-groups and collaboration, and turn your content into conversations with forums, blogs, and comment moderation. Secure, affordable, and easy to manage, the Ingeniux Intranet Edition could be the answer to the modern Intranet.
Intranet Home
The Intranet home page features user images dynamically pulled from the user profile pages. The images rotate upon screen refresh and link back to the user profile. The home page also features content that can be
customized based on the organization’s needs, such as announcements, forum posts, social media feeds, and weather updates.
Directory
The Intranet directory provides quick, easy access to all Intranet users. The directory can be viewed for the entire Intranet community, or categorized based on department. Information appearing on the directory list
view is dynamically pulled from the users profile page. Directory data can be queried from an external database.
Departments
Each department can create their own micro-site within the Intranet, featuring documents, events, announcements, directory information, and other information specific to that department within the organization.
Forums
Intranet forums provide a collaborative communication space. Intranet users can create a forum category and topic, post comments, and follow other users comments in one thread. In addition, forum post updates can
be delivered to Intranet users via email notification so a comment never goes unnoticed.
Galleries
Intranet galleries give users a space to store and share photos and images with other Intranet users. Users can create a gallery for a collection of images and store that in the gallery index for other users to browse.
Profile
Each user in the Intranet community can create a profile page to store their contact information, share a biography, and view their recent activity within the Intranet.
Mobile
The Intranet is accessible anytime, anywhere on web-enabled mobile devices. With the mobile Intranet users can access documents, post to forums, update their profile information and stay up-to-date
on the latest Intranet activity.

It’s not just CMS services that are in high demand for Falcon-Software. They have also seen an increase in other services such as social media and site globalization projects, mobile applications and Intranet sites.

The Intranet Community
“Intranet managers are forming large communities using external social media, getting support from peers around the world and gaining visibility for their roles and work,” says Jane McConnell in her annual Global Intranet Trends (2010) report. In fact, this growing community, spurred by social media, is one of the most prominent findings outlined in the preface of her report.
There’s been an explosion in intranet consciousness and you can thank social media for the explosion. When I started writing about intranets some 12 years ago, virtually no one was writing about them, and the response to most references to intranet was, “Don’t you mean Internet?” Today, Twitter is the epicentre of intranet buzz, that mostly originates in the blogosphere, but has trickled across too many groups, webzines and newsletter to count.

Choosing an Intranet Technology Platform Whitepaper
Choosing an Intranet Technology Platform is a free, 37 page whitepaper completed in January 2011 by Prescient Digital Media and Falcon-Software.
With hundreds of intranet platforms on the market, picking the one that’s right for your business can be daunting. Many vendors, old and new, are more than willing to show you their wares through online flash demos, brochures and webinars. All of them seem to have great features and functionality. Some vendors boast of their extraordinarily powerful and flexible workflow and approval capabilities, one-to-one personalization, ERP/CRM integration, virtual repositories, robust search capabilities and the like. But are all these bells and whistles going to meet your needs?
Without defining those needs, the question is impossible to answer. Long before the question is even asked, a plan supported by a proven methodology needs to be developed. But determining business requirements is only half the process. The other half is determining if the technology can do what it says it can do. Knowing this, the value of a technology-neutral approach to picking the right platform becomes that much more important. An unbiased assessment of the platform’s strengths and weaknesses is essential to helping organizations see past marketing ploys and neatly-packaged products.
This whitepaper includes:
- Valuable analyses of the differences between portals, CMSs and other intranet technology solutions.
- Technology platform data from Prescient’s Intranet 2.0 Global Study 2010, which shows how the intranet technology market has changed in the last year.
- The most popular features that are most commonly considered and evaluated when organizations select an intranet technology platform, including pros and cons.
Why it matters to you:
- This whitepaper will make your job easier providing a perspective and an approach to evaluating solutions, understanding the marketplace, and the key vendors that power most of the world’s best intranets.
