Intranets.com Unveils Major New Customization Enhancements for its Web-based Intranets
New Options Give Users More Control of Home Page
BOSTON (December 12, 2001) - Intranets.com, the world's largest provider of Web-based intranets, today announced major new enhancements to its service. The new customization features include the ability for users to take more control over the look and feel of their home page, including the ability to make graphical, rich text announcements.
"In our second major enhancement since we became a subscription service this past July, we continue a tradition," said Karen Leavitt, vice president of marketing at Intranets.com. "We're adding a number of great new features - many of which can be traced back to customer suggestions. With the addition of a rich text editor, users can create announcements that include pictures, tables and colorful fonts. This new feature enables the creation of customized announcements and newsletters, two important ingredients in improved group collaboration and communication."
The new home page customization options give users an additional way to tailor their intranet to individual needs, putting information of interest right at users' fingertips for enhanced productivity. Users can now customize the layout of their home page, post important messages and images right on their site's home page, and customize the content tabs at the top of their intranet.
Additional enhancements were made to the task manager application to make it easier to accomplish team goals and manage projects. In addition to the improved printable view, users can now track tasks by project and customize the project list so that when a task is delegated, a task owner can be assigned. Task action items can also be organized into categories - like meetings, phone calls, and goals - to make it simpler to figure out which ones to tackle first.
Enhancements to group scheduling functionality enables users to schedule events for a select group of members, building off the groups and permissions functionality that the company introduced nearly a year ago.
"The new Intranets.com features make an already fine product even better," said Vicky Flick, Market Center Administrator for Keller Williams San Francisco Properties, one of the fastest growing real estate companies in California. "In particular, the improved homepage customization has enabled us to communicate and collaborate more effectively among our team. We love being able to make it 'our own'."
In addition to these new features, Intranets.com offers small and medium-sized businesses and groups a drag-and-drop document sharing library, a contact database, a group calendar, discussion groups, a task manager, an expense report application and 100MB of storage. SSL encryption and additional storage space are also available as a la carte options.
From its website at www.intranets.com, Intranets.com offers a risk-free 30-day free trial. Subscription prices start at $19.95 per month for up to four members, plus $5.95 per month for each additional member.
