The future of workplace efficiency depends on intranet systems that serve as the central hub for all daily operations. But that’s only possible when an intranet can integrate everything employees need to complete their work efficiently. When they are expected to log into multiple systems or dig through various platforms, productivity plummets, engagement falters, and digital friction sets in.

Intranet decisions can either propel your company forward or slow it down, depending on the approach you choose. If you’re considering whether to build a custom solution or buy a packaged intranet solution, consider the implications each of them carry for your organization. The stakes are high — time, money and overreliance on IT resources are on the line — and the last thing you want is an intranet that’s more of a hindrance than a help.

Not only are they still responsible for the infrastructure that allows business to get done, they’re now the architects of digital employee experiences, wielding the power to drive measurable business outcomes through strategic employee technology management.
