Intranet Plus

Again it has been a while since I wrote a blog, but really to many projects with tight deadline, that push the blog down in the pecking order. I am really sorry about it.

Many of our clients hire us for a specific project. They need to have a website and in that website they have a member section where professional people can communicate with them and they need a back office to monitor this communication. Easy.

But by mistake they think that once they have this back office admin they have an Intranet. But this is really just a small aspect of Intranet system. In our view a good Intranet system should be part of any aspect of the business.

I am so happy when I am visiting my clients to see their employees using the Intranet with everything they do. If they Intranet page is their homepage then you know that you did something good.

With the new open source DHTML suite that our friend in dhtmlgoodies.com has developed the sky is the limit. This interface is so superb that it allows us to take any software and convert it to the web without loosing the usability.

We have just finishing a huge project to run a complete business online. We used this interface, and the response is amazing. For me this is a real breakthrough. Intranet is not longer old and grey. It is cool and thanks to the Ajax technology fast. Very fast.

Hi all,

Well first we need to describe what is Ajax and yes, it is the famous football club from Amsterdam, and yes also the cleaning product, but also something else…

Ajax is shorthand for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, and it is just a new way do develop applications for the web. So what it gives you?

Without going into much technical details, it lets the server stream information to the webpage without refresh the page or call to another page.

And how it can help your business?
Well traditional web applications suffer from clumsy user interface which gives the user an awkward feeling.

The new technology creates smooth interface which gives the users an impression of real software. Have you tried to use Google mail account? This project is a good example of what Ajax can do to the usability experience.

So your employees will love to use these applications because they are cool / fast and yes, sexy! so if they are happy, you are happy.
