Why is the classic intranet no longer up to date?
In the course of advancing digitization and the New Work movement, more and more new forms of working are on the rise. For this reason, the classic intranet continues to serve its purpose. But why is that?
In most companies, the intranet is hardly maintained after it has been set up, and specific responsibilities for the system are rarely defined. Content for a company’s employees is also published only irregularly. It is not possible to display information to specific target groups on a classic intranet. As a result, the intranet usually contains only outdated content with no real relevance.
With the classic intranet, communication is one-way. Information is published by the management level or the communication managers. Employees have no opportunity to react to the content, let alone create it themselves.
Another problem with the intranet is that the platform can only be used on a desktop PC. Non-desk employees are thus left out. Since they do not have a fixed desk, they cannot access the information from the intranet.
An intranet app, on the other hand, says goodbye to the problems mentioned above. With an intranet app, you can reach all your employees, no matter where they are. In addition to pure information features, such a platform also offers a variety of interaction and communication features.
FAQ
Does an intranet app exclude individual target groups in the company?
Quite clearly, no. Even if intranet apps follow a mobile-first approach and are supposed to reach employees in production, in the warehouse, etc. in an uncomplicated and DSGVO-compliant manner, the platform can be used on a desktop PC without any problems or loss of content.
Will existing content from the old intranet become useless?
Intranet apps offer the possibility to easily integrate the existing intranet and many other tools in addition to the existing IT or HR environment. No complicated relocation of systems and tools and no loss of data and content.
What about data protection at Polario?
Any form of personal information enjoys the highest priority with us. All connections are encrypted via SSL. Likewise, measures are taken which guarantee a permanent level of protection in accordance with the DSGVO. Our security standards include a CMS with two-factor authentication, SAML login and more.
