Not all intranets are the same. Some intranet software focuses on collaboration, others on mobile use. The following types of intranet are available:

Why use an intranet?
Put simply? That's exactly why - it's simple. Without an intranet, finding information is much more complicated. An intranet not only informs - it directly increases employee satisfaction. Figures show that many employees are currently dissatisfied or even actively looking for a new job. Why? Lack of information, communication, and appreciation, among other things.
McKinsey reported that employees spend 20 percent of their weekly working time looking for information. It doesn't sound like much, but that adds up to 8 hours per week.
Digital communication works
)
Studies by McKinsey prove that intranet software saves time. On average by up to 35 percent, because information becomes searchable and employees find answers to their questions faster.
Our client Europart reported a 25 percent increase in identification with the employer, meaning staff feel more loyal and part of the company. What drives this satisfaction? Digital, up-to-date communication instead of ineffective noticeboards.
84 percent of employees at Schwarzwald Baar-Klinikum say: It's easier to network and exchange ideas with each other. How? With digital communication via their smartphones. This promotes employee loyalty even further.
6 Problems with classic intranet software
Complex use - Lack of user-friendliness is probably the biggest problem of classic intranet software. Too many functions, unclear navigation, and no clear structure. The result? Low usage figures.
Limited exchange - The focus of a classic intranet is information sharing. Articles, news, and documents do have their place there. However, what is missing is interaction, chat exchanges, and relationship cultivation. Another reason for unengaged intranet users? Top-down communication instead of bottom-up.
Limited mobility - Classic intranet software is made for office workers. But what about frontline workers on the production line, in the field, etc.? Very few solutions are optimized for smartphones. This means that around 80 percent of employees worldwide aren't reached.
Limited integration - A classic intranet is usually a stand-alone solution meaning that not all other applications in the company can be seamlessly integrated. This makes collaboration difficult and affects efficiency.
Difficult to scale - Your company is growing. But can your classic intranet grow with it? In most cases, the answer is no. They cannot be easily scaled for size and complexity and become even more irrelevant.
Low usage rate - The sum of all problems. Intranet software that's complicated and not very user-friendly will not be used. It's as simple as that. The solution to this? Know the users' needs and introduce software that offers real user value.
Conclusion: Intranet software is designed for office workers
Fact: Intranet software can increase satisfaction and improve the flow of information. However, it forgets about one important target group: operational employees and frontline workers.
Another fact: Intranet solutions are developed for the office. However, almost 80 percent of employees worldwide don't work in an office, but at the cash register, in production, in the health sector, or elsewhere on the front line.
