What is an open source intranet?

An intranet is a closed system that can be accessed via the Internet, but is only available to selected users. The system provides information and documents for the users and thus contains a lot of data that is protected from unauthorized access.

With an open source intranet, you not only ensure that your employees can network with each other. You also set the course for interdisciplinary and efficient collaboration with your team and move closer to your strategic goals.

Q&As

The most important questions about an intranet solution

Below we have collected the most frequently asked questions and answers about the intranet:

What is the difference between internet and intranet?

An intranet is a computer network within an organization that can be accessed via a browser in a similar way to the Internet, but is only accessible to a select group of users. Although it uses the same network technology, it is not publicly accessible due to login requirements.

What are the users of an intranet?

The intranet is normally used by the company's own employees in the context of the company and organization. Access by external users is not intended here. 

How secure is it to use an intranet?

Since the intranet makes the stored data available exclusively to a defined group of users, data is protected from the eyes of third parties. Firewalls and other security measures further safeguard the content.

How important is it to use an intranet as a company?

An intranet provides many important functions that benefit the organization, including connecting employees, securing important documents and data, and providing other services. Without an intranet, it is difficult for organizations to provide a centralized solution for these functions.

How much does an intranet cost?

There are various applications that provide intranet solutions, including many that offer a so-called cost-per-user approach. This means that a monthly (or annual) fee is charged per logged-in user profile. Our intranet solution is based on open source technologies. For this reason, we offer our intranet solutions without these license fees. Therefore, it does not matter how many users are logged in. The only costs are for the implementation of the intranet solution.

The most important features of an open source intranet

The open source intranet enables the organization to connect employees and teams and store data and documents among other functionalities. An open source intranet solution with Drupal also provides the following features: 

  • Social Intranet

  • Personalization

  • Hosting & Maintenance

  • Workspaces

  • Knowledge-management

  • Multilingual content

Extensive insights in your staff directory

The social intranet feature is the reason many people look for an intranet solution. With this feature, overviews of all employees of the organization can be visualized. The overview not only shows names and job titles, but also relevant information about the employees' skills and capabilities.

Individualised permissions for all users

The intranet provides users with internal information about the organization. It is particularly important to make only the content accessible to employees that is actually necessary for the respective area of work. A high degree of personalization is therefore important. 

Self-hosting of all content

An open source intranet must scale with the organization. New employees join the company while others leave. Information needs to be stored and updated on an ongoing basis. With a Drupal solution, the system administrator can manage the intranet independently without relying on third-party help. It also allows the application to be completely self-hosted.

Promote connection and collaboration

The fact that teams now work in a decentralized manner has become the new standard. Nevertheless, employees must be able to exchange information with each other and their teams. The open source intranet fulfills the role of a virtual workspace in which information and documents are exchanged. The workspaces are available to the respective teams on the intranet.

A virtual archive to exchange data

The open source intranet not only provides data on employees, but also on work processes and specialist information. In this way, employees can obtain all information independently without having to conduct extensive research. The alphabetically sorted overview helps to find the data quickly and easily. 

Diversity through multilingual content

In times of globalization, it is important to make all content available in multiple languages. An open source intranet offers the possibility to automatically translate content into different languages and thus follows the trend of globalization.
