How many of you have an intranet in your organization?
SharePoint Saturday Toronto#SPSToronto
THE INTRANET IS DEAD!
“The Intranet is being slowly pushed aside by the
Modern Workplace empowered by Office 365.”
- @jasoosterveld
“As companies begin to embrace
the cloud, mobile apps, enterprise
social and big data and analytics
the role of the traditional intranet
or employee portal is somewhat
falling behind.”
- LiveTiles
“The intranet is still very much the go-to dumping ground for an Internal Commsteams” - @flackhackjack
“There was a time when an intranet was
the best possible solution for internal
communication.”
- Tom Petrocelli in CMSWire

LET’S LOOK AT THE HISTORY
OF INTRANETS
SharePoint Saturday Toronto#SPSToronto
SharePoint Saturday Toronto#SPSToronto
An intranet is a private network accessible only to an organization's staff….
A company-wide intranet can constitute an important focal point of internal communication and collaboration,
and provide a single starting point to access internal and external resources.

- Can cost between 200k and 500k$
