July 8, 2009 - Vancouver, BC - Intranet Connections Intranet Software will be releasing the latest version of its
intranet 2.0 software suite in September 2009. Version 9.5 will feature a more
robust Document Management module that incorporates 2.0 tools such as Ajax tree
navigation, tagging, breadcrumbs, versioning, approval workflow, user subscriptions,
document comments and a ratings voting system. The new Document Management utility
will provide the simple user experience that is the hallmark of the Intranet
Connections software.

“There is an overload of information on social media and the 2.0 enterprise right
now, and how that fits in with your corporate intranet,” states Carolyn Douglas, CEO
of Intranet Connections. “Our goal is to merge the social and collaborative
networking that employees gravitate towards with the practical intranet tools that
are necessary in assisting employees in their day-to-day duties.”
In surveying incoming leads for their intranet software, it became apparent that
high on the corporate wish list was not a Facebook social networking component, but
a document management system, and a way for employees to find and
submit electronic forms. Respondents wanted to leverage an intranet for cost
savings, to reduce resources, help employees to function at a higher productivity
level and to provide a central hub for all corporate information.
“Enterprise 2.0 tools that encourage communication, collaboration, knowledge and
information sharing will enhance the use of an intranet site, but it doesn’t make an
intranet site. Social media that is regulated and private on the internal corporate
network can be a great add on to the core applications that are the backbone of an
intranet, such as Document Management, Policies & Procedures, a Form Builder
utility, Job Postings, Calendaring, Support Desk Ticketing, a Knowledgebase, and
Employee Training.” says Carolyn Douglas.
In addition to Document Management, Intranet Connections v9.5 provides employee
social profiles with a mini photo gallery of your co-workers, and an application
where employees can go to share ideas, comment and vote. The Training Calendar
application provides more admin control over email notifications and registrations,
and streamlines the management of students. The Discussion Forum has become more
transparent and employee profiles and photos are featured with topics, and the
intranet home page offers content feeds and widgets that can be moved and positioned
to create a portal gateway.
Intranet Connections Intranet Software is a feature-rich,
out-of-the-box intranet solution with content and document management that focuses
on ease of use, collaboration and employee ownership. Over 1300 organizations
world-wide have chosen Intranet Connections to improve their employee
