If you’re exploring intranet options, you’re probably wondering: Where do I even start? There’s no shortage of platforms out there, but not all intranets are created equal.
Let’s break it down, without the jargon.
What is a company intranet?
It’s your digital home base. A place where people find info, share updates, collaborate and connect. A good intranet isn’t just a tool, it’s a space that supports culture, communication and productivity.
Modern intranets are intuitive, engaging and built for real people and not just IT teams.
What do you actually need?
Before diving into demos, ask yourself:
- What’s frustrating about your current setup?
- Who are you building this for—frontline teams, remote workers, everyone?
- What tools does it need to connect with (Microsoft 365, HR systems, etc.)?
- What does success look like in 12 months?
This discovery phase helps you avoid shiny features you’ll never use and focus on what really matters.
What to look for
Most modern intranets offer:
- News & updates – targeted, dynamic comms
- Smart search – find what you need, fast
- Document management – policies, templates, resources
- People directory – connect across teams
- Collaboration tools – chat, video, project spaces
- Personalisation – relevant content for each user
At Fresh, we believe your intranet should adapt to you, not the other way around.
Making the right choice
When you’re ready to choose, keep it simple:
- Is it easy to use?
- Does it align with your goals?
- Will it grow with you?
- How much support will you need?
- Is it secure and compliant?
This isn’t just a tech decision—it’s a strategic one that can shape how your organisation communicates and collaborates.
Final thought
A great intranet helps people feel informed, connected and empowered. If you’re exploring options, Fresh is here to help you build something that lasts and works for everyone.
