The intranet includes the following features:

• Corporate Document Management -  In order to structure the document management process, all current documents were imported into the system. They were attributed with content types and arranged in libraries to build a logical and easy-to-use file storage. Custom document workflows were introduced to facilitate document processing.
• Project Management -  The intranet became a centralized project management platform by providing dedicated workspaces for each project team and department. It now enables PMs to manage the entire project in one location, e.g. store project documentation, instantly share files with teams, discuss project-related issues in real time and distribute personal tasks during the project cycle.
• Departmental Management -  The intranet includes a number of department sites that allow employees manage their activities without mixing them with those of other departments. Each department site is only available for users from the respective department.
• Enterprise Search - Relying on the platform’s strong out-of-the-box search capabilities, Technomax customized SharePoint enterprise search to provide employees with an easy access to internal data and documents. The implemented system allows employees to make a quick search within the document libraries of the corporate intranet by criteria that are based on metadata associated with each document.
• Technical Reference -  Due to the industrial specifics of the Customer’s business, there were a large number of standards and regulations to follow throughout the project cycle. Paper versions of standards and regulations were digitalized and placed into the dedicated reference database to allow the teams access necessary documents at any project stage.
• Forums, Polls and Surveys -  To encourage internal communication, the corporate culture and team spirit, Technomax developed polls and discussion forums. To allow the department managers to assess the employees’ satisfaction and engagement level, the team also introduced a dedicated survey system.
• Internal Corporate Portal and Associated Content Management System -   The corporate portal was developed as a central hub displaying the company’s activities: news, announcements, corporate events, organizational charts, corporate policies and procedures, etc. The user-friendly content management system enables easy content adding, editing and deleting. To ensure the corporate culture consistency, the portal was designed in compliance with the Customer’s corporate style.
