Intranets
9. Making It Work
9.1 Make things on your intranet easy to find.
- The user should never be more than three clicks away from the information.
- Include a search page, so people can find what they want quickly. Most off-the-shelf packages and hosted solutions will include search as standard.
9.2 Keep the technical aspects of your intranet as simple as possible.
- Look for the solution which is easiest to use while providing what you need.
9.3 Look for a solution with good content management features.
- If it is easy to change content, your staff will be more likely to use the intranet.
