Five steps to a better Intranet
Here’s a five step process to improve your intranet and save money:
- Uninstall all the fancy content management software you purchased and cancel the maintenance.
- Install a wiki.
- Install your favorite blogging software like Wordpress or Roller.
- Buy a Google mini and set it up to index your new wiki and blogs
- Turn your employees into bloggers and wiki contributers.
I think you need a good behind the firewall aggregator recommendation as well. Otherwise the internal sites seem to atrophy because no one checks them regularly. I’m also a bit partial to threaded discussion boards, but they’re certainly lower priority than everything you’ve listed.
I wonder if Google packaged their version of all of those together whether or not enough people would buy it…
I agree on the aggregator. I think once Outlook has RSS support that will be a big help. Thunderbird already has this today.
It will be interesting to see how Google continues to expand.
