The difference between social intranets and traditional intranets; social intranet facilitates collaboration, whereas traditional intranets have typically ben a top-down corporate approach.

1. Are Traditional
Intranets Dead?

2. The general definition of an intranet is
an internal database which can be accessed
by all team members within a company for
the use of carrying out day-to-day tasks. It is a
local and restricted communication network
that is used by companies or organizations to
share company information and computing
resources among employees. However,
some fear that the traditional intranet could
potentially become a dead technology.

3. Intranets
• Help users or employees locate and view
information faster
• Use applications relevant to their roles and
responsibilities
• Allows businesses to publish information for
their employees on a need-to-know basis
• An intranet can be a very useful way to
supply easy access to all authorized users
within the organization.
• Allow you to communicate easily within
the organization

5. Social Intranets
• Very similar to a traditional intranet
• Can be used for sharing documents and
content to employees
• communicating within the business and
publishing content
• Social intranets are flexible and easily
changed, keeping end-users engaged with
new content instead of an often un-changed
traditional intranet.
• focuses more on the people within
the organization rather than heavy,
scattered content.

6. The big difference
between the two is that a
social intranet facilitates
collaboration, whereas
traditional intranets have
typically been a top-down
corporate approach.
