I've implemented intranets to different companies and organizations for the past two years. They all have a similar approach with a start page witch has a
- news section
- a company calendar
- application shortcuts
- RSS feed from the external site
- my projects links
- help topics and
- current it system status
The other main sites, linked on the global navigation bar, contains
- organization units
- quality system
- HR
- projects
- document center
- social activities etc.
This is pretty standard functionality with notification on changes that regards me. It works, is quite OK, and customer likes it and uses it a lot.
The design is often responsive and following company theme colors. So far so good.
But I have a feeling something is missing. Maybe too company centered even if parts of the intranet is user centered. Or is there something else missing?
In other words What are the general site objectives for a company intranet?
