<li>Traditional intranet: A centralized portal-style intranet that provides CMS-like access to web pages, resources, and files. &nbsp;</li>
<li>Social intranet: Social intranets add features like chatting, liking, and @ mentions to traditional intranets. They also usually support more integrations and modern features (e.g. support for mobile access) than traditional intranet solutions.</li>
<li>Intelligent intranet: Intelligent intranets, such as those within a Work Hub aim to modernize the intranet experience with a user-focus, advanced search, integrations, and collaboration features beyond what is found in other intranet platforms.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

What are the different types of intranet?


Traditional intranets aren&rsquo;t only expensive to set up, but keeping them up-to-date is tedious and time-consuming. Sadly, it often doesn&rsquo;t get done. This results in out-of-date information and a poor reflection of the company it was built for.&nbsp; All of this creates very low levels of employee engagement, as well as high levels of frustration.
A traditional intranet sits alongside everyday work, which means employees can easily ignore it and often find workarounds to avoid needing to rely on it. They&rsquo;re not designed with the end-user in mind and can feel cumbersome and unnecessary when most of an employee&rsquo;s work is being done in separate apps such as Jira or Salesforce.

What are the disadvantages of a traditional intranet?

An intranet is a private network that enables collaboration and resource sharing within an organization. &nbsp;

What is a modern intranet?

Intelligent intranets are built around the user experience, they are part content management system (CMS), part announcement platform, and part collaboration portal with links to apps, resources, and all imaginable employee information&mdash;from company policies to <a href="https://qatalog.com/blog/post/org-charts-all-from-one-place/">employee directories</a>.
One of the first steps to building an intelligent intranet that employees use is getting buy-in from teams at the outset. Knowledge should be gathered from employees and made available as a communal repository of relevant and helpful information. Companies that have a culture of documenting conversations, decisions, and workflows often find pulling this together to build an intelligent intranet is straightforward. Regularly updating the company intranet is crucial to ensuring it remains relevant, useful, and valuable to all employees.

How do you build a good intranet? 

An intranet is a content management system that usually provides people access to resources like company announcements, links to internal web apps and cloud resources, calendars, policies, employee directories or forms, and procedures.

What are the different parts of an intranet?


A modern intranet solution provides employees with a central and authoritative source for all the tools and information relevant to their work. Barriers to access such as approvals and lack of structure are removed, freeing up time for things that matter.&nbsp;

How does intranet increase engagement?

Traditional intranets have been around for decades&mdash;and 90% of them fail within three years of being launched. Employees simply aren&rsquo;t interested in the centralized portal style of company intranets, because they don&rsquo;t integrate well with their workday. In fact, Gartner says traditional intranets are dead.
Intelligent intranets are a different story. Qatalog for example is a Work Hub with intranet functionality. Work Hubs are user-focused and improve the employee experience by bringing in <a href="https://qatalog.com/blog/post/how-we-built-our-all-in-one-search/">advanced search features</a>, integrations with other apps, and opportunities for greater collaboration. Intelligent intranets are used by employees frequently because they create a central and authoritative source for all their work tools, documentation, and resources relevant to getting their job done. This new form of intranet, one intertwined with a Work Hub is crucial for work in modern times.

Are intranets outdated?

Successful intranets <a href="https://qatalog.com/blog/post/qatalog-vs-company-wiki-notion-confluence/">bring together knowledge from multiple sources</a>&mdash;the company wiki, messaging apps, and project management tools&mdash;to keep them in a central and searchable digital space. It makes accessing information from anywhere in your organization intuitive and simple. If teams need to find the CEO&rsquo;s company-wide email sent last month, the intelligent intranet puts it within reach in seconds.
Along with making the search for information transparent and simple, pages should have a repeatable format that makes sense and creates a feeling of cohesion across all company documentation&mdash;no matter if it&rsquo;s the email from your CEO or the company vacation policy.

What makes an intranet successful?
