However, after implementation, even one person can run and maintain an intranet, without specialist
knowledge!
To sum up: Due to profitability, it is worth using ready-made solutions and the help of specialists.
However, in the case of maintaining the intranet alone, it can be done by one person, without
specialist knowledge.
„It's impossible to make a well-functioning intranet with just one person.”

“However, it isn't like we do absolutely everything
ourselves, because it doesn't make sense. We also
use ready-made solutions. All activities must be
translated into business - it just has to pay off "
In the discussed case, it consisted of 3 developers
and 8 engineers. Therefore, in many cases help
of an external company is just cost-effective.
13. Integrations are the key to best functionality
In this way, you can adapt the platform to changing conditions. Here are some options:
Electronic Document Workflow
Chatbots and interactive notes
Help Desk
Submissions system

your work.
„With the use of (rather simple) application, it is possible to automate other areas of business,”.
For instance, of the Management Board Office. For each meeting, this department
has to prepare a list of matters to be discussed.
An employee of Bank Headquarters or Facility who needs a written consent of the
Management Board does not swamp them with documents but performs this action
electronically.
Automation is possible, among others thanks to the above-mentioned integrations
15. Proper UX guarantees an effective intranet
While building UX, You need to use simple language so that the user
wouldn't overwhelmed by the amount of information. In this case, the
Document Workflow is particularly helpful. This integration makes it
easier to manage and use the intranet.

16. Always remember that any business can develop and grow rapidly. In that case, the company must be
ready to guarantee consistent and efficient communication to all of employees, which increases their
efficiency.
A way to deal with unpredictable changes? - Intranet
In the presented example, when there was a need to introduce remote work in the company -
the employees and the system itself were already prepared for it many years earlier. The
bank operated normally thanks to solutions that had already been developed. In this way,
the continuity of work was maintained.
Conscious preparation of technology
„The business environment is changing, and the agility of an organization is how it adapts to these
changes.”

number of users, including the number of returning users,
the frequency of return of users,
the content they have read
the average duration of a visit to an intranet website, the so-called website stickiness,
the length and width of the visit,
conversion rates,
the behavior of a user compared to the average (maybe this person has a problem in a
place where others do not have it and requires individual training).
Especially in cooperation with additional analytical tools
18. Analytics - adaptation to changing requirements
It gives access to information about:
• Components that are properly
optimized.
• Which data is most important to
employees.
• Elements that need to be
changed, improved.
• Which data need to be added
(based on your searches).
"Quantitative research is extremely important to ensuring the long-term success of the intranet, but only if it is factually confirmed, not opinions - that is
mean resulting from the statistics of intranet use."
