Designing intranet portals as electronic workplaces

Abstract

This paper highlights the most important requirements for developing intranet portals, especially in the areas of user interface ergonomics and usability. In specifying relevant usability requirements both perspectives are considered: of company employees and of executives. Best practices are reviewed, regarding successes and failures in intranet absorption, basing on the results on recent research in a number of surveyed Polish and international companies. The impact of intranet absorption on organizational culture and staff integration has been also discussed. Finally, the paper argues that intranet portals are not typical IT systems but primarily organizational solutions, very important for competitiveness of modern companies. Moreover, the paper argues that development methodology in this area is still under development, and available fundaments are not yet sufficient to provide intranet designers, developers and company managers with reliable guidelines how to develop an always-successful, and highly usable intranet system.
