Pillar 4: Integrate

From CRM systems to HR systems. From accounts packages to payroll to employee benefits.

An enterprise has many disparate systems.

An Intranet provides an opportunity to polish off rough edges between them. An opportunity to banish, or at least reduce, copy/paste integration.

Better still, identify sources of truth.

Rather than expensive and error-prone rekeying of information between systems, consider automating the process.

Many Intranet platforms come with a work flow engine.

Some are inward facing, whereas others promote integration with external systems.

Others have a flourishing add-in environment that encourages third party customisation and development.

Maximise Return on Investment with commensurate integration between the many systems on your estate.
