An Intranet should be more than the sum of its parts – it should be the nexus in which employees start their day and stay engaged throughout the day by providing an attractive and efficient work area for corporate communications, team collaboration, and business process / workflow applications.
At its core, an intranet should be a platform that provides these services - customized to a company’s unique culture - that can rapidly evolve as the company evolves.
Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. Too often, intranets have stale, static content, and, therefore, no traffic. The investment companies make in their intranet is lost, and IT and the user base move on to other solutions that address their needs. Our feedback from talking with customers is that this occurs either due to a high implementation cost that drains budgets for ongoing maintenance, or due to a lack of understanding by key users who could drive adoption of the system in their teams.
Cornerstone provides SharePoint-based intranet solutions that are inexpensive and can be implemented very quickly – often in less than two months from concept to rollout. At that point, individual features for the intranet can be prioritized and implemented as needs are defined and resources are available. We believe that it is these features that drive the adoption of an intranet, so our focus is getting our customers to the point where those features can be implemented as quickly as possible. Cornerstone offers complete SharePoint intranet program management services, or can implement your intranet and transition to your team for ongoing program management and support.
