As intranets grow, providing access to more and more documents, their value grows. The larger the collection, the harder and harder is becomes to find that important presentation, contract, or HR form. Enterprise Information Portals (EIPs) provide a starting point to intranets, and a search engine helps locate information, including archives and unstructured data. Search engines need to be tuned and indexed to provide the best answers.
It is never too early to begin thinking how a new Web site or intranet is going to be launched. What promotion activities will usher in the new online resource? What are the promotion objectives? How will activities be coordinated? Who is going to do the work and make it happen? Whether revamping an existing site or bringing a new intranet online, it is important that plans include the resources and time needed for a promotion rollout. Here are seven components of a launch plan that put a rollout on the fast track to success.
