CMSWire concluded an online survey a few months ago about intranets and collaboration software in companies. The study sought to find the nature of intranet software in companies - are they static information pages?, do they include collaboration tools? do companies have collaboration tools and intranets at all? The study yielded some very interesting results. Only around 35% of the respondents had collaboration tools integrated with their intranets. 16% of the respondents said their intranets were more about information than collaboration tools, and they still didn't have good collaboration tools. 13% said their intranet CMS and collaboration tools were separate. And super surprisingly, 17% didn't have an intranet at all. Evidently, intranets are underutilized in these organizations. The purpose of an intranet is to serve as a hub for information, workflows and collaboration in the organization. If information and collaboration tools are in separate silos, that is half of the purpose defeated already, since it is this information which flows through the collaboration tools.
