An intranet is a restricted and private communications network hosted online. Each intranet is typically accessible by a specific group of people, such as the members of a team or company. Employee intranets exist to provide staff with a centralized location to work together, share media, communicate, train, provide and receive feedback, and collaborate on a variety of tasks.
Employee intranet solutions allow companies to cherry-pick or bundle features from other types of software like internal communications software or business content management software. If the intranet doesn’t provide a specific feature, it will often integrate with common or frequently used software solutions and enable users to access it from inside the intranet portal.
Many modern employee intranets now include AI-powered features for enhanced search and intelligent document creation. They also provide robust analytics, offering insights into how employees engage with content and collaborate. Additionally, many employee intranet solutions offer translation options to support communication within a diverse workforce.
To qualify for inclusion in the Employee Intranet category, a product must:
Provide access to, or the ability to create, an online portal with predefined access
Allow for collaboration, communication, and file sharing within defined groups
Be customizable
