Did I ever explain what our old / current logo was all about? As you might know, Brian and I launched Intranet Now very quickly back in 2014, and had a cracking first conference. I had this idea of a bullseye target – suggesting ‘now’ as per our conference name. I cut out a bit […]
By James Robertson. Intranets are much more than they used to be. While content and news still provide the foundational elements, modern sites are expected to deliver much broader business benefits. This includes folding in collaboration and social tools, delivering to mobile devices, and providing a front door to new business systems. In the years […]
I just spoke to Martin White about his up-coming enterprise search workshop and while we were ostensibly working out the logistics of the day, Martin gave me an introduction to the complexities of intranet and website search.
