U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce Partners with Intranets.com to Bring Communication Solution to USWCC National Affiliate Network
Intranets.com Makes It Easy For Non-Profit Organizations to Benefit From Enterprise-Quality Intranets
Boston, MA and Washington, DC (December 2, 2002) - Intranets.com (www.intranets.com), the world's largest provider of Web based intranets and the U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce (www.uswomenschamber.com) announced today they have inked a partnership to make available the Intranets.com solution to the Chamber's affiliate network.
"Many non-profit groups operate with little IT infrastructure or support, and the U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce immediately saw the value of our hosted intranets to improve internal and external communication," said Rick Faulk, CEO of Intranets.com. "Intranets.com wants to continue to aid these organizations by providing them with an enterprise class communications tool at a significantly discounted price."
The affiliates will have access to a rich suite of collaboration applications, including:
- Drag-and-drop Document Library
- Group Calendar
- Database Application
- Group Discussions
- Group Polls
- Expense Reports
- A Task Manager
- Announcements
The intranets offer a high level of flexibility and customization to the local affiliates. Intranets.com provides the U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce with a custom-branded version for all its affiliates. Using the exclusive Intranets.com global messaging feature, headquarters can communicate items of interest to all affiliates. Individual affiliates can utilize a sophisticated permissions system, manipulate the layout and color scheme of the intranet and turn applications on and off to suit their group's needs.
"The Intranets.com solution allows us to deliver on our goal of providing technology and business services that assist our affiliates and members in growing their businesses," said Margot Dorman, CEO of the U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce. "We will also be using Intranets.com at our headquarters to improve our communication internally, with our members and affiliate leaders nationwide."
The Intranets.com solution has a robust permission system, which also allows special "guest access" to selected information. It's expected the local chamber affiliates will use the guest access permission system to establish extranets to improve information sharing with local businesses.
