Building a Social IntranetPoints to Consider


• Technology is one of the three components of a social intranet.

• But need to gather business requirements beforehand

Social Intranet Infographic (2012)

Interviews

Surveys

Focus Groups

Importance vs. Satisfaction

(gap analysis)

Need to gather Business Requirements before selecting technology


Planning

• Making sure you have a functional plan, design & wireframes before evaluating different platforms

• Strategy & governance very important


Choosing the right intranet platform

• No one-size-fits-all solution.• Thousands of technology solutions to choose from.• Follow proven process to ensure the technology you

buy is right for your organization.

Vendor Evaluations

• Assessment & planning will determine and detail all of your specific requirements.

• Business and functionality requirements become your solution requirements and evaluation criteria.

• Evaluation criteria are used to determine vendor short list.


Technology: Evaluation Matrix


Solution Evaluations

• Undertake macro evaluations• Open or closed (invitation) RFP• Closed RFP to specific vendors will shorten the decision

cycle but narrow the field• Participate in tailored product demos• RFP process is normally 2 weeks to 2 months depending

on the complexity of the project
