Q) |
What is the history of Smart Intranet? |
A) |
IOTAP, the company behind IOTAP Smart Intranet, has a long history of developing SharePoint-based intranets. Building an intranet from scratch is often very time-consuming and expensive. Each of these Intranets would end up with the same essential components. Over time realized that rather than reinventing the wheel repeatedly we need to create a ready to deploy product with the basics and then leave it to users to pick and choose the other add-ons which may be relevant to their organization. Though launched recently, we have been using it as a base for most of our Intranet project deployments |
