The Strategy for your Open Source Social Intranet

• We will personally meet with you to understand the needs and requirements for your Intranet. This may be a system that focuses on a faster and more accurate response to your customers, or a means of encouraging the very best of your people by providing the necessary tools to help them develop their talents and potential.

• We will build a compelling business case for developing your Intranet, which will include identifying cost-savings and looking at the efficiency of your business. Through case studies and ongoing research, we will illustrate the positive effect a joined-up network can have on customer satisfaction and your bottom line.

• Using the extensive knowledge and experience of our team, we will very quickly assess your existing tools and applications. We will identify the Open Source tools best suited to your needs and where necessary, suggest a phased replacement of your current systems tools.

• We will recommend a strategy for the staged delivery of your new joined-up Social Intranet, focussing on the business changes required, while being sensitive to the different demographics of people within your organisation.

Delivering and Implementing your Intranet

• We will tailor the Open Source tools and custom build your applications where needed, as determined by the strategy. This will take into consideration your organisation's particular requirements, and we will maintain clear architectural oversight to ensure that the necessary on-going maintenance is minimised and manageable.

• We will work with and extend your existing tools, exposing them to the Social Intranet and develop them to become "socially aware" of the new tools and network surrounding them. We don't believe the best case is to always discard what you already have and create something entirely new. We want to encompass the best bits of your Intranet and combine these with the best-of-breed Open Source tools, creating a joined-up holistic Intranet to best suit your organisation.
