2. INTRODUCTION
- The year 2015 has seen Intranet development and uses
evolve in many ways
- With a little more than 2 months to go for the year to end, it
makes sense to look back and identify the emerging trends
and best practices for Intranet software products
- We’ll look at customization of content, user uptake and
participation, search filters, networking effects and design.

3. CUSTOMIZATION OF CONTENT
- The biggest trend business enterprises the world over has
embraced is a greater degree of customization of content
- A fairly significant aspect of this has been based on making
real-time company performance data available for employees
- A trend of moving more towards video content has also been
observed, with communication becoming richer and more
engaging

4. USER UPTAKE AND PARTICIPATION
- A report by Nielsen Norman Group suggests the average
employee headcount of companies using Intranet has
increased over the last year
- The average team size of Intranet users has increased, but
relative to the total head count, it has only increased
marginally – leaving much to be desired in terms of
onboarding employees to the intranet network.

5. SEARCH FILTERS
- 2015 has been all about making document search easier and
more friendly on the Intranet
- Efforts have been made towards streamlining search of
documents and data based on descriptive tags, and Hoover
effects to refine search results and faceted search
- Hoover effects provides search with much needed context,
whereas faceted search allows users to refine results using
multiple filters. Try out these features on Precurio!

6. “We have reduced our time-to-market significantly, to help
our customers leverage the best of technology how they
want it, when they want it.”
- Mayor Brain, Precurio Intranet
