Intranets & Project Webs

"On-line project information at your fingertips!"

Web-based communication and technology can help your team members, managers and employees gather, store, manipulate and disseminate information, and then get feedback quickly and efficiently - all at a lower cost!

• intranet communities of employees and staff
• web-based project communication systems
• project document management
• online internet communities of suppliers, members, or interest groups (secure or public access)

Our inexpensive framework is based on opensource technologies, and gives employees and project team members a single point of access for a project or department.

Although InterComm configures the initial set-up to suit individual project and department requirements, thereafter employees add and update their own data and documents. The interfaces are user-friendly and intuitive.

The intranet or project web uses an Open Source software platform and therefore does not require ongoing licensing fees. The system is flexible and allows expansion should new functionality be desired.

An intranet is traditionally located at on the client's premises. The sites combines the PHP development language with MySql databases, a combination operates on both Windows and Linux operating systems.

Easy to use

Web technologies are user-friendly; information is viewed through a simple web browser from anywhere in the world. Web pages make extensive use of intuitive drop-down menus and hyperlinks. And its not as difficult to publish either. Information is kept up-to-date from anywhere, by any authorised person.

Cost Savings

Publishing information online eliminates the production, duplication and distribution costs associated with paper. The result -- significantly reduced costs and increased profitability.

Streamlining Business Processes

Intranets can substantially improve the efficiency of sequential information flows amongst personnel and project teams. Extended Intranets (Extranets) can extend the solution to business partners, customers and suppliers.

Encouraging collaboration

Web technologies enable engineering design, training, project and management teams to share knowledge and information regardless of their locations or time zones.
