Intranet as a Service
Intranet as a service is one of the topics addressed in the Hype Cycle. Gartner defines intranet as a service as “an easily deployable SaaS package that provides functionality and interfaces common to web-based intranets, especially those geared for employee engagement, self-service and knowledge management”.
Today, intranet as a service is a growing market. Companies are looking for a ready-to-go intranet that will meet their current needs but also can evolve over time as their needs change. Jim Murphy, Senior Analyst at Gartner emphasizes how major cloud office platform providers, like Microsoft and Google, do not offer this kind of solution. Therefore, companies look to intranet as a service solutions, like Powell 365, to fill the gap.
