Design

• Applications. When thinking about the design of your intranet, you must determine which applications to include. It is essential to select those that meet the most common and urgent needs of your business. A BBIworld.Net intranet comes complete with a core suite of customizable applications targeted towards the needs of small businesses.

• Security. A sound intranet security system is critical for the protection and backup of your data. It must be designed into the user interface and the database from the beginning. An A BBIworld.Net intranet provides a sophisticated, customizable security system, including user and group-level permissions and a provision for external access.

• Manpower. Designing an intranet is time-consuming and requires the specialized skills of many experts. You must have the internal manpower and man-hours to devote to the project. A BBIworld.Net hosted intranet is designed and built by professional software developers who know the technology and the industry inside and out. Your own internal resources can devote their time to building your business, not your intranet.

Development and Set-Up

• Time. Building an intranet from the ground up could take anywhere from 3 to 9 months. A hosted intranet from BBIworld.Net allows you to be up and running in less than 3 minutes.

• Cost-effectiveness. Costs for intranet application development can be difficult to estimate and range from $15,000 to $75,000. The BBIworld.Net intranet service offers a low monthly fee based on the size of your group, with no up-front investment. Pricing for 5 users is $49.95 per month. Pricing for 10 users is $89.95 per month.

Usability

• Employee Adoption. Homegrown intranets often do not provide an accessible user interface and helpful supporting documentation, leading to difficulties with adoption. A BBIworld.Net intranet is specifically designed to be user-friendly and they include an online help section to encourage employee adoption.

• Compatibility. It is challenging to build and extensively test an intranet that works well with both Microsoft and Netscape browsers. A BBIworld.Net intranet is product designed and tested to ensure compatibility with all versions of MS and Netscape browsers.

Maintenance

• Hardware Upkeep. A homegrown intranet requires ongoing dedication from internal technical staff members to properly maintain and manage application code and data backup, software evaluations and upgrades, operating system updates and testing, bug fixes, regular security checks and more. With a hosted intranet from BBIworld.Net, there is no hardware maintenance required. It is all taken care of by the experts.

• Support. All of your intranet users will need extra help at some point. Consider the time and effort it will take to set up complete user documentation and phone and e-mail support systems. A BBIworld.Net intranet provides extensive online help and a team of knowledgeable experts who are ready to answer user questions via phone, e-mail, live chat, or weekly webinars.

• Enhancements. Creating new applications and features as the need arises requires considerable time and money. A BBIworld.Net intranet frequently provides new applications and enhancements to existing features at no extra cost to you!
