UNOVA CORPORATE INTRANET OFFERS NEW LEVEL OF EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCTIVITY
Southern California technology giant, UNOVA, Inc., selected Imagine IT to help develop its corporate Intranet. Corporate Intranets are private websites, accessible only by employees of the company. Imagine IT designed and developed an intricate, yet easy-to- navigate user interface to give employees access to myriad UNOVA corporate resources and reference information. Each department within the company has its own web pages on the company Intranet. UNOVA employees can view and retrieve extensive information from any of these departments, search the company directory online and much more. Following is a sampling of content and information available on the site: UNOVA stock price and information, employee stock purchase plan and investment activities, office services information (including a meeting scheduler, purchase requisitions and order status, corporate travel arrangements, transport and delivery services, etc.), standards of conduct, business ethics, policy manual, job postings, benefits information, employee services and sign-up forms, upcoming events, including a "live" web calendar, new hire forms, frequently asked questions and answers and more. UNOVA has a "LiveWeb" BackOffice that allows the company to designate levels of access for users, departments and locations which facilitates decentralized site maintenance— allowing designated staff to schedule events, publish news articles, change and control dynamic content and processes, update a scrolling message marquee, edit current job postings, implement workflow tools, monitor forms status and much more—without having to call the webmaster for assistance.

Any company of any size can benefit from having their own Intranet. Imagine IT will work closely with you to define your intranet needs and goals, create a structure that fits your company's operations, identify and develop usable content and give you the degree of BackOffice flexibility you need to effectively maintain your intranet site. Let us help you figure it out today so that you can help your employees be ready for tomorrow!

INTRANET YOUR WAY TO EFFECTIVE EMPLOYEE COMMUNICATIONS
Savvy employers understand that the key to effective communications is keeping your employees informed about why you are in business, how you expect them to conduct your business, and what they can expect from you as an employer. If you already are marketing to the public on the Internet, you should take a serious look at marketing your internal operations and administration to your employees through a secure company Intranet site. The major advantages of having a centralized, private Intranet website accessible only by employees is a standardized, uniform information resource, broadcast distribution of information — instantaneously, information shared by everyone at all sites, and single-point information management, maintenance and updates. Other major advantages of having your own company Intranet include automating internal processes and eliminating costs associated with expensive print-based forms, policy and procedure manuals, etc.
