Intranet Software with the power of a social community built in!
For the past couple of days I have been using our CMS to build an intranet for us in house, quite an easy task I thought but nope – certainly not. However its completed now and H2O now has a full blown social community workspace in house that allows our sales teams, account teams and dev teams to create virtual groups, post shared information, document downloads, software version revisions – in fact pretty much everything, its pretty cool and will get better.
I just posted the following on our FAQ and forum page about how and what our intranet does:
This forum is related to the use of the H2O Cafe company intranet. Here you can ask any questions related to the use of the intranet. Here is some basic information on what you can do with the company intranet.
1) Create Groups - Working as a collective team on projects brings results, create account teams, project teams or dev teams instantly and publish them for other members to join. Share ideas and discussions within facebook like web groups.
2) Download Docs - Standard format company documents are now being uploaded - over the next week you should see most of the documents required to function in H2O are available for you on this intranet.
3) Forums & FAQ - Rather than everyone asking
a question multiple times simply post it to the FAQ forums, it will be
answered for you by other members of the community. The forums are
here to help you and for you to help others - if you see a question
being asked on here and you know the answer please answer it as quickly
as possible.
4) Departments Guide - Being published now - your
guide to different departments so you know what each one does and who
to go to for what.
5) Community - See all of the people that work at
or with H2O, make friends with them, send them instant messages and get
their contact details instantly.
6) Chat - text based meetings for now, full video conference meetings later let everyone communicate instantly.
7)Training, we will be implementing a survey form
that will allow you to test your product knowledge and provide feedback
on the company.
8) Quick links to the H2O Project management
system, email systems and CRM systems - simply click and login from the
front page.
Importantly - This is your community - we
like everyone to have a voice, if you think something can be improved
or if you can see a problem post it to the forums or discussions and
then get about solving it as a team. That is it, Intranet 2.0 will be
released in a few weeks as a standard H2O product. If you think other
companies can benefit from this technology - please get about selling
it ;-) Thanks
