An intranet for every organization
It might be so obvious that I should just keep quiet, but an intranet can and should be a vital part of any organization’s infrastructure. With the ever-increasing ease of deploying data-driven web applications, such as blogs, wikis, and content management systems (CMS), you can easily have a customized intranet portal implemented for your organization in less than a day. The structure, traceability, and searchability that an intranet application such as a wiki or CMS can bring to your accumulated business data can yield big payoffs for the future of your organization.
It’s information that drives the life of an organization. If your company has an internet site, chances are that the public face of your organization rests on a much larger body of information that is not readily available to the general public, either because of proprietary concerns or because it’s just not ready for public consumption. The image in my mind is like a tree with a complex subsurface root structure or an iceberg where only a small percentage of the total mass is visible above the surface. Having any kind of structure at all to your intranet data can go a long ways toward improving your business processes, making information more persistent, easier to access, and faster to communicate between individuals.
Killer Apps of the Future: Knowledge Management Systems
There’s an up and coming genre of software applications called “knowledge management”, and I’m excited to watch what happens in this field over the next few years. The promise of a single software system to manage all of an organizations accumulated knowledge sounds like a Holy Grail of sorts. If it’s ever achieved, the solution for organizations to manage their intranets will be easy.
