Designed for Usability that Supports Workflows
We interview your administrators to discover what they need from your intranet, then develop intuitive back-end interfaces that help them quickly and easily maintain access levels, user permissions, company data, and enterprise-level security for your intranet. We talk to your front-end users to understand how an intranet can help make them more productive and efficient. Those insights allow us to design your platform and consolidate your company resources in a thoughtful way.

FAQs
Start with role-based access controls so employees only see content relevant to them. Use secure login methods such as single sign-on and multi-factor authentication. Regularly review permissions, remove inactive accounts, and follow compliance guidelines to protect sensitive information.
Plan the transition carefully. Audit existing content and decide what to migrate, update, or retire. Running the new intranet in parallel for a short period lets employees adjust while keeping the old as a backup. Provide training resources and schedule the final switch during a quieter period when possible.
Prioritize essential functions and make them easy to access. Move less-used features to secondary menus or roll them out in phases. Gathering employee input during design helps keep the experience practical and avoids unnecessary clutter.
Define success upfront, like higher engagement, faster project completion, fewer internal emails, and improved onboarding. Track metrics linked to those goals, including active usage rates, knowledge-sharing activity, and time saved finding information. Employee feedback can also confirm whether the intranet is improving productivity and communication.
A typical example is a SharePoint-based company intranet that centralizes employee news, documents, event calendars, and quick links to HR tools and department sites.
An intranet should include a news feed, employee directory, document libraries with search, HR tools such as policies and forms, team collaboration spaces, an events calendar, and quick links to key apps and workflows.
An intranet centralizes company information and tools to boost productivity, streamline document and project collaboration, reduce email overload, speed up onboarding, and improve knowledge sharing across teams.
Basic intranets start at $10k-$50k for small teams using platforms like SharePoint. Custom enterprise builds range from $50k-$250k, including licensing, setup, and integrations. Ongoing costs typically range from $5-$30 per user per month.
