IntranetPlus
Features
IntranetPlus is an easy to use, fast, simple to keep current, completely
flexible portal that can be managed and utilized without the need for a
webmaster. All the functions and communications of your workplace are
only a click away
News - An intranet is a potentially powerful tool to disseminate
current information to everyone in your organization. However until
the advent of IntranetPlus, this potential was usually not realized. Since
publishing information required the services of a webmaster, the
information was often out-of-date before it appeared on your intranet. It
was also a costly process. Now with IntranetPlus publishing of
information on the intranet can be distributed across an organization to personnel with limited computer skills.
IntranetPlus handles the formatting of the articles into a newspaper-like
format and ensures that out-of-date articles are automatically removed
from your news pages. News can be separated into general, department
and workgroup specific sections. Further the articles can be
specified as available for general viewing or restricted to members of a
specific department or newsgroup. Each news section is configured
with authorized contributors. If an editor is designated for the
section, all information is routed to the editor for review before it is
published for general viewing. The routing of documents for review
is handled automatically by IntranetPlus.
Documents - Although almost all intranets provide a place where
users can access widely-used company documents, they provide almost no
services that contribute to the rapid addition and updating of these
documents. IntranetPlus solves this problem by providing powerful
distributed content management tools. The first step in configuring
IntranetPlus to receive your documents, is to define the classification of
documents (policies and procedures, human resources, travel, etc.) that
will reside on your intranet. Then for each classification, you
specify the users who can author material for the classification and
optionally an editor who will have final responsibility for publishing the
documents for general viewing. All this without any HTML; and you're
ready to start publishing information to your intranet. Adding
content is as easy as filling out a few simple forms. IntranetPlus
workflow capabilities automatically routes contributed documents during
the approval process.
Organization Directory - In IntranetPlus, the Organization
Directory is much more than just a listing of telephone numbers accessible
from a browser. In addition to an organization-wide directory, you
can generate directories for individual departments in the
organization. Clicking on a user's name displays more detailed
information about the user. Selected areas of the extended
information are based on user entered information. A user message
area is also included in the extended information area. Often this
area is used as an in/out message area to inform other intranet users of
the schedule and whereabouts of a user.
Purchasing-The purchasing application automates the purchasing process from requisition to placing an
order. The user has the option of entering information directly on an
electronic requisition form or selecting items from the organizations
catalog of standard items and having them automatically transferred to the
requisition form. Items can be added to the requisition form over a
period of time until the user is ready to send it to purchasing.
Travel Expenses - The Travel Expenses application provides the tools
necessary accept on-line expense reports and automatically routes the reports to
the appropriate personnel.
Timesheets - The Timesheet application accepts timesheet information and
routes the reports to appropriate members of the organization for approvals and
processing.
Contacts - Not only does the Contacts application provides a place for
users to keep a list of their contacts, it also provides the capability to share
contact information. Contacts can be specified as private, shared by
department or available for viewing by the entire organization.
