1. Simple Windows Interface After installing Intranet-in-a-box on a computer which is connected to your company's network, simply run the Intranet-in-a-box program, and you will be guided through a simple 3 step setup. After this you are ready to manage your Intranet. No messing with web pages, no programming. To add information to your Intranet all you have to do is add the information to the Windows program and it will automatically appear on your Intranet website.      2. Integrated Http Server      In addition to generating and modifying all of the webpages for your Intranet, Intranet-in-a-box also provides a built in HTTP server. This means that all you need to do to start sharing your Intranet with your employees is to click the "Start Server" button. No messing with additional software, No configuring additional settings. Your Intranet site will automatically be shared across your network on the default HTTP port - (and you don't even need to know what any of that means!). Once you click the button you will receive a message telling you that your Intranet is running, and you will be shown a URL (website link) that can be used from any computer on the network to access your new Intranet! 3. Employee Directory Having an up-to-date list of both employees and company contacts available to all employees is extremely useful for any company. Since any changes made to the Intranet-in-a-box program will immediately show up on the Intranet site, employees always have the latest information. Intranet-in-a-box allows the sharing of traditional information such as: First Name Last Name Title Company Position Job Description Supervisor Address Phone Numbers (Home, Work, Fax, Cell) Email In addition to this, Intranet-in-a-box also provides advanced items such as functionality for associating skills with various employees. This allows your employees to search your employee list to find which employees have the skills they require.      You can even add a picture of each employee to their online profile. This can be very useful for growing companies (allowing employees to learn newly hired names quickly. Finally, you can define up to 10 custom fields to each employee, (such as employee id# or favorite color). Through the Intranet-in-a-box program you can specify which of these pieces of information to share and which ones to hide from the Intranet. 4. Company Schedule      One of the major problems with trying to keep an Intranet sight current is maintaining date-specific information such as a company event calendar. Unfortunately, these are usually the most useful parts of a company Intranet site. To remedy this, Intranet-in-a-box provides a simple "Microsoft Outlook" style event management interface. Simply add events to the calendar as they become available and the Intranet-in-a-box software will take care of the rest. It automatically keeps up to date, showing employees all of the upcoming events. There are even default event types such as: Meetings Holidays Pay Days Product Releases Parties This makes adding new events even more easy. 5. Resource Management With Intranet-in-a-box you can finally keep track of all your company resources. Meeting rooms always seem to cause conflicts for small businesses. It always ends up that your design team has planned a meeting for the same time as sales wants to talk to a client. With Intranet-in-a-box all you need to do is add your meeting room to its list of available resources. Once you have done this, your employees can conveniently book the meeting room through the Intranet site. The software automatically prevents conflicting bookings. Only you can override bookings through your Intranet-in-a-box software. In addition to meetings, any other resources your company has can be similarly managed. For example, computers, cars, documents, and other various hardware can be managed.      6. Online File / URL Sharing      If you're one of those companies that has a document for everything, but can't locate a document for anything, Intranet-in-a-box is for you. Intranet-in-a-box provides a simple windows interface to manage a directory of computer files (such as documents and spread sheets). In addition, you can also add URLs (links to websites) to this directory. For example, you could have a directory of all your clients' websites, or a directory of all the sites related to one account. After you have added a resource to this directory, it will automatically be shared via a similar directory on your Intranet site. If you decide you no longer wish to share a folder of resources with your employees you can hide them so they will only show up in the Intranet-in-a-box program, and not on your Intranet site. 7. Customizable Look and Feel Intranet-in-a-box lets you customize the appearance of your company Intranet to match that of your company. You can select a company logo to appear at the top of the site, specify what colors to use on your Intranet, and even select the fonts for various types of text on your Intranet. If you already have a basic Intranet site and just wish to add the functionality of Intranet-in-a-box, this allows you to seamlessly place Intranet-in-a-box in a frame of your existing Intranet with matching fonts and color.      8. 100% Native HTML Components      Many Intranet management tools use ActiveX and Java Applets for common components not provided by HTML (such as calendars and directory lists). Although this provides a simple solution for the company developing the software, it ends up causing nothing but headaches for the companies that try to use their software. Many times these ActiveX and Java Applets don't load properly for Intranet users, showing up as red X's. ActiveX and Java Applets also behave differently on different machines, letting some users use the Intranet while blocking those with older machines. In addition to this, ActiveX and Java Applets require extra programs to run on the client's machine, resulting in slow and clumsy page loading. In-a-box-software uses only 100% native HTML controls. All of the calendars, time selectors, and directory views on your Intranet-in-a-box are built from 100% standard HTML, and are thus part of the actual webpages. 9. Extensive Documentation Even though both the Intranet-in-a-box program and the Intranet site that it manages are extremely user friendly, In-a-box-software also provides complete documentation outlining every aspect of using both the Windows program and the Intranet site. You're Intranet site will also provide a help section to your employee, explaining step by step how to use every aspect of the intranet.
