Information Access
The Intranet (SharePoint Communication Sites) is a private network accessible only to the your staff, providing for a wide range of information and services to host content, communicate, capture knowledge, be informed, and develop the company culture. Further, the platform provides for the ability to create secure locations to work with others external to the company (extranet).
Problem
There are two fundamental problems that every company faces related to their information. The user can't find general reference content, or the organization (or functional units within) are not able to be good communicators of information.
Solution
