When I was working, our company’s intranet was an in-house project. They liked to have their IT staff do a lot of projects themselves instead of looking for software solutions. The Intranet consisted of several different pieces of information that was hard to find what you were looking for at times. The first Intranet was done by interns and was mostly style over substance. They would have been much better off with an intranet software package.

They could have tried intranet software from Epazz to see if it was a right fit for their business. Epazz offers a 30 day trial period, which is always good for businesses to make sure the software is a good for their company. Epazz does integration to all back end software, so that is less of a headache for the IT department for sure. I’ve never worked at a place with more committees than my former employer. They could really use the group scheduling and business email solution of the Epazz intranet software. All of those committees had to post their minutes to the intranet. With Epazz’s content management system it would be very simple for those committees to do it themselves instead of having to send it in to MIS.

If I still worked there, I would have to insist that they check into an intranet software solution since doing it in house was very time consuming. With the other business responsibilities of MIS/IT, if maintaining the intranet was totally integrated and easy for the end user to update, it would be a lot better for all.
