intranet

An intranet is a closed network within a company, to improve internal communication and to make the work process more efficient. To realize these goals, besides an intranet, a company would also like to have some sort of dashboard to get to all the available information within the company, showed to the employees through a web interface.

Hippo portal is software that is built to connect and integrate different information systems within a company in a web browser, and to personalize it for the end-user. On the human resources department people now work with different tools and applications than for instance on the financial department. The Hippo portal brings these worlds together. And it works great in combination with the Hippo CMS.

Hippo CMS itself manages the unstructured information within your organization(s) and provides structure for it. A portal function provides access to that structured information. This content may be derived from various databases and back-office systems.

A portal is a sort of homepage, that the user can navigate from to reach the underlying information. A consistent, menu-driven environment allows the content on offer to be tuned to the target group or to the individual user. It has an extensive search facility that lets you search and find information quickly. Because the content within Hippo CMS is categorized and indexed, this process is efficient and effective. An intranet based on Hippo CMS provides you with the capability of deploying a portal solution to create, find and share all your target data quickly through a user-friendly interface.

The most important advantages of an intranet based on Hippo CMS and the Hippo portal are:

  • Easy and fast access to your business information;
  • Only show the information, which the employee needs to know (or is allowed to see);
  • Improve knowledge sharing within your organization;
  • Optimize collaboration;
  • Reduce your operational cost.
