Airbites Intranet

The Airbites private network was first implemented with the main purpose of sharing company information and computing resources among employees.

Promoting common corporate culture

Each Airbites Intranet user can view the information within the Intranet, can join groups of interest, and can exchange messages. We managed to introduce the concept of groups inside the Intranet. After browsing all the visible groups an employee can join the group(s) and start watching the events that take place in the group. The easiest way to do this is by following the updates directly from the RSS reader client or email client.

Productivity at Work

Developed as a web browser interface, the Intranet helps employees to perform their jobs faster, with more confidence that the information they found is accurate. Their access to the Resources database is extremely important to their roles and responsibilities and improves the quality of their work.

Relevant information available through the Intranet concerns projects and tasks. Organizing and managing projects gains a new level of interactivity among the Intranet users, supporting the social network created. Employees get involved in the project’s tasks by having them assigned; the system provides information such as the priority of the task, its deadline and its assignee. Using these tools needs to be encouraged to assure productivity in the work field.

Time

The Airbites Intranet requires authentication prior to access, which lets the user know exactly who they are interfacing with. Compared to e-mailing, the Intranet serves as a powerful tool for keeping employees linked to relevant information at a time that suits them.

The Time Management feature is specially designed for the user to view all events that may occur in a single timetable organized by event name. Viewing all events also provides extra information such as creator, visibility, importance and status. The tool contains an RSS feed with a unique RSS key for each user.

Communication inside the Community

Mass messaging in a group and following group discussion boards are easy-to-use features supported by the Intranet. The Airbites Intranet Administrator can restrain or enhance a user’s rights to participate in messaging. Message boards are important communication tools — you can see a discussion board as a rights-protected forum, creating as many as you want with a specific topic of discussion within each.

The messaging tool is unlimited. A user can post a message regarding another user, post a message for a request form, task or project. From adding a new user to configuration dashboards that put together different elements of the Intranet, the platform can be administered by a user with the appropriate rights.
