Successful communication is the foundation of a flourishing business.

And while there are many ways to foster communication, the intranet is at the top of the list because of the advantages it brings. While we could give you a “101 Advantages to Using an Intranet” list, we believe that these four intranet advantages will let you know if an intranet is right for your business, organization, or municipality.

Intranets are Rich in Content
And this content is at the tip of everyone’s fingers. When you think of content, plain text pages come to mind, but with intranets you can upload documents of various formats (e.g. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, and more), video, audio, training material, available jobs, and message boards.

Intranets Save Time
Your time is valuable. Once time is lost, you can’t recover it, which is why an intranet is the most valuable communication and technology investment you can make for your business. For example, you could save $40K a year if your staff of 50 saved 10 minutes a day looking for information outside of your intranet. Once you find this information, you can quickly distribute it to other employees.

Intranets Strengthen Collaboration and Productivity
When you use your intranet to its full potential, your employees can collaborate on projects proficiently, thus producing results faster and with less stress. Bottom line is that employees are able to finish tasks resourcefully.

Intranets Reduce Costs
The ability to distribute information is extremely low. And you’ve already seen the savings from a mere 10 minutes per employee per day will save, but what about printing costs? Intranets reduce the need for printers, toner, and paper, potentially saving thousands of dollars per month.
