Select Australasia discussed the merits of transitioning from a centralized to a decentralized intranet at a conference held in Sydney yesterday.

Speaking at Key Forum’s Managing and Maintaining a Decentralized Intranet Conference, Select Australasia’s web administrator, Ms Caralyne Blackburn told delegates: “We needed a scalable intranet which could be updated with a minimum of fuss. It had to be something that each of our service departments, and the individual brands could use – and more importantly, update and develop themselves as required.

Intranet DASHBOARD was adopted by Select Australasia in April 2005 as part of their decentralized intranet strategy. Select’s business goal was to increase their internal communications and build a stronger sense of community. This has been achieved by using Intranet DASHBOARD as the solution for their intranet platform. iD delivers the infrastructure for building, creating and administrating an intranet as well as over 40 immediately deployable tools and applications.

“With Intranet DASHBOARD we can quickly and simply add new sub sites – for new brands or departments and assign them to the ‘real’ owners of the content. This has offered controlled flexibility in being able to assign people to areas of content, locking down certain parts of the layout to create a consistent style. Authors now have the flexibility to change the sites enough to appeal to their audience and create a feeling of ownership,” stated Ms Blackburn in her presentation.
