Overview and Approach Intranet development is nothing short of building - often for the first time - a complete, integrated, online version of the organization itself. A well-designed Intranet makes organizational knowledge and resources readily accessible from any Web browser. Good design helps specific work efforts stay focused and aligned with strategic objectives. A solid Intranet platform is a framework to house and connect existing and future applications such as document management systems, self-service benefits management applications, time-keeping services, subscriptions and other applications and information. Ultimately, an Intranet is about people, the work they do for the organization and the staff, clients and constituents they serve. For this reason, Articulated Impact’s approach to Intranet development starts and ends with people and their work and service needs. Our role is to act as a liaison between experts who understand their business and information needs, and the internal technical teams who are charged with building and maintaining a cost effective organizational framework. Our approach and success are based upon our ability to work as a team with clients and their existing service resources to develop such an organizational asset. Additionally, our success is measured by our client’s ability to manage and extend the Intranet functionality we have built with them.
