There seems to be an application or software solution for absolutely everything in the business world – there are apps for submitting expenses, managing documents, running online courses, arranging events, organising calendars, storing company knowledge and information; the list is seemingly endless!
Each of these tools need to be fully comprehensive in their own right, and companies will often purchase and deploy individual software solutions for each function. This is a huge task, especially in cases where multiple applications are needed to handle different things. Not only is there a big cost involved, but it also presents an immense commitment to training all staff on each individual component, which will take up valuable time and resources. Furthermore, each application will need to be supported and maintained, either internally or externally, multiplying costs and the time needed to do so.
So, what is the solution?
This is where an intranet platform really shines, and Claromentis is a leading vendor in providing multiple apps in one inclusive package. Our intranet software is extremely comprehensive, and includes a vast number of applications just in our core package alone. Our core framework includes our Document Management System (DMS), and Content Management System (CMS) Publish, both of which come with full version control; our Calendar management application; our Forum tool; and our News and Blogs applications to name but a few.
We also have an extensive range of modules that can have their own independent release schedules but are fully included in the cost of the Intranet – which makes for a fully streamlined and synthesised platform for your business needs. These modules include our new Expenses and Events applications, the latter of which integrates with our Calendar tool; our corporate social networking tool Innovate; and our popular eponymous knowledge base module.
Being able to use one solid intranet platform with a single user experience and permissions, instead of individual third party software applications for each business need, is a fantastic way to save time, money, and resources. Furthermore, by deploying one software solution this ensures that processes are kept consistent company-wide, without the need to obtain proprietary knowledge for different dedicated applications.
