Intranets and Portals
Improving Enterprise Productivity and Information Usability
Many
enterprises depend on the web to facilitate internal communication, collaboration,
and to automate internal processes, such as arranging travel and managing
documents. But, intranet sites and web portals can easily become unmanageable
and unusable. Great volumes of information must be effectively architected
for ease of use, and contributors need guidelines to ensure that usefulness
is not compromised.
Having analyzed and developed the user interaction model, information architecture and user interfaces for very large enterprise intranets and portals, Macadamian Usability's user interaction experts are adept at creating effective web based architectures from complex information and ensuring that internal websites contribute to enterprise productivity.
We have worked with intranet developers and users to:
- Analyze user tasks, identify user interaction issues and recommend improvements to intranet sites.
- Better categorize vast amounts of information and provide interface design guidelines for accessing that information online.
- Increase the use of intranet sites and ensure they facilitate the completion of self-directed tasks, such as arranging travel or locating documents.
- Develop and train on standards and intranet guidelines for knowledge managers and intranet developers.
Enterprises benefit from our wide range of experience in analyzing online user interaction across a range of businesses and web 2.0 sites. We bridge business goals, user needs and technical constraints to arrive at an effective user interaction solution. Our user interaction research, task analysis and user interface design help enterprises to:
- Reduce support requirements and manual processes through effective online automation of common tasks.
- Improve employee productivity with effective online document libraries, collaboration interfaces and work group communities.
