With a distributed workforce, it is important for organisations in the construction and property services sector to maintain effective communications with their staff. While they may operate in slightly different areas, these two industries often share similar communication goals, needing to effectively communicate to their staff wherever they are based. The award winning SORCE Intranet and Extranet facilitates this communication, delivering a secure, centralised collaborative environment that can be accessed across your business.

More than simply delivering information to employees the SORCE Intranet will help you achieve efficiencies by automating your once manual businesses processes, facilitating a two way dialogue of knowledge exchange between your employees. The SORCE Intranet product does this with the use of powerful business applications such as Document Management. Document Management provides a central repository of information, everything from policies, procedures to project documents can be stored here. To make things easier for you, workflow can be introduced with version control. This tracks and records changes that are made to each document, preventing important information from being overwritten or being lost. Document Management is also useful for ensuring your important documents are read by key individuals with the use of mandatory read.

Automating your business processes extends much deeper than documentation. Your HR department can enable your employees to request holidays or self certify their sick days. Finance can manage employees expenses, IT can use it to manage support requests. The intranet can help improve communication throughout your business.

These communication benefits don’t have to stop with your own employees. Many of our construction and property service clients have deployed extranets for their customers to manage specific projects or contracts or simply as a secure way to share information.

Security of your data is built into the core of the SORCE Intranet and Extranet products. Internet banking style three tier authentication controls the log in process while the access control framework ensures that your employees only see information that is relevant to them. For extranets that are accessed by the web, 128 bit SSL encryption can be used to tighten the security of this information.

The highly personalised communication environment that your intranet and extranet provides, enables you to deliver specialist information to specific people or groups. Integrating with your existing back office systems, your intranet or extranet can collate and report this information directly to individuals. Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) can be shared with managers, directors or even your clients to highlight the progress your organisation is making towards specific goals or objectives.
