Any organisation that seeks to scale knows the foundation requires sound internal communication. Whether a licence holder, franchisee or other organisation with many team members, this starts with having everyone on the same page. With YTML's help that page can start with a professional and well organised Intranet Portal.
For some industries, there is the additional headache of regulation and compliance. This headache can disappear with effective sharing of documents, processes, policies and other important information to associates, staff, and members.

The easiest way to think about the definition of an Intranet portal is a "website with a password". An Intranet is designed for usage by a limited number of people due to its purpose of sharing confidential or company sensitive information. This can include but is not limited to a newsfeed, document and template management, contact database, company processes, policies, and other tools or information.
Where users register, or sign in with their username / email and password.
The dashboard is the front page where all Intranet tools can be accessed via menu and / or icons.
Where important client or company documents are stored.
In its most simple form, this can be an online or downloadable list of up-to-date important company contacts.
For compliance, regulatory, or efficiency purposes an Intranet can be used to share common ways team members must do things.
Intranets are used by companies of all shapes and sizes, but most relevant to those with large teams. The more distance or less formal working relationship the more value a portal can add by ensuring everyone is on the same page.
Here are some example well-known companies that use Intranets:
