Intranet Trends
1. Intranets age quickly
2. Organizations have seen wave after
wave of intranet failure, renewal,
stagnancy and failure once again
3. Enterprises have higher aspirations
for their next generation of intranets
4. “Mobile” and “Social” are the
watchwords for new intranet
initiatives
5. The new intranet must be a true
network
“Products with social and mobile
capabilities are increasingly
complex to develop, manage and
maintain. The results of melding
together content management,
portal, advanced social technologies
and disciplines are hard to predict.”

Is a Ready-to-Go Intranet Right for Your
Organization?

23.
When Should You Consider Intranet as a Service
Why
Intranet as
a service?
Your organization
structure is likely to
change and you have a
small team to maintain
your solution.
You are concerned with
upfront design and
deployment costs and
ongoing maintenance.
Budgets are tight.
You are looking to derive
value quicker and focus
on incremental
improvements rather
than a very lengthy
project.
You don’t want to have
to upgrade your
intranet every 2 years.
You don’t want to
depend on
understanding the
complex Microsoft
roadmap.
