Can the Hub house our IT and HR documents?
Yes - you can store and share any amount or variety of resources. For many, this is the heart of the Intranet environment. Reduce print costs by storing documents, decks, PDFs, videos and images and giving access to all users or restricted users, whatever you need. You can even set launch and expiry dates for content to ensure it remains relevant and remind people to update versions. You can also communicate ‘Must Read’ information, such as HR or IT updates and ensure people have read them. Read more

Communicating via the Hub saves time sifting through internal emails and means that if users are out of the office they don’t have to spend time deleting email trails about birthday cakes in the office or events they’ve already missed.

Respond to your audience and gain insight to your company. Read more

Is the Hub an Intranet?
The term intranet implies a closed IT system within your company. The Hub functions as you would expect an intranet to, but is housed in the Cloud so it can be accessed from anywhere – your phone, laptop or tablet. So it works more like a website, but is a secure area for your users only. This means you can get to all your information while you’re on the go. It’s the modern version of an intranet. Read more
