Publishing Workflows

There are bound to be areas of your business intranet that contain sensitive information and where published content requires an approval workflow process. All tools within Intranet Connections allow you to engage an approval workflow to monitor and approve pending content. You choose what areas are open or locked down for approval.

Content Review Dates

A big part of content curation is ensuring that the information on your business intranet is relevant and on target with the needs of the company and employees. To help you with this you can enforce publishers to set review dates on their content. This also helps with content audits and to support governance and publishing guidelines.

Content Archives / Cleanup

This deletes out-dated content that has a shelf life, based on time intervals; ie: every 3 months, 6 months, a year, etc. IE: calendaring events, blog posts, news articles, ideas & suggestions, employee nominations, potential documents or policies. Archived content goes into an archival area which can be browsed, searched, shared and bookmarked. This moves content out of the mainstream and keeps the site leaner and easier to manage.

Shadow your end-users to assist in troubleshooting issues.
