Why do intranets grow old so fast?

Linchpin Intranet

Most employees do not use their company’s intranet. There are multiple reasons. The worst and most important is, that these intranets do not offer any significant value to their job. That’s devastating as most projects have started with different goals. Employees often describe their intranets as old and stale. This post talks about how this happens.

Sample Intranet Survey for Employees Including Guidance, Tips, Links, and Explanations

A growing number of big corporations is using Linchpin as their intranet technology. There are some, that simply want a fast and reliable result. But others really put a focus on preparation, concepts and a thorough strategy for the intranet rollout. Right now we are in the middle of preparing an employee survey for a new intranet project and this is my effort to contribute to the conception phase and also help you plan your intranet better.

How to Optimize and own your own Profile on the Web and in Intranets

It’s been a simple JIRA issue at first with the summary: “Optimize your own public profile”. Every email I write contains a simple footer with my phone number and a link to my English profile page. I realize, that the importance of the linked page is rising. That’s how the JIRA issue about optimizing this page was created: I wanted to put some effort in my profile optimization. That’s why I am creating this blog post as a public documentation and a point for you to comment on and help me get more ideas.

Presentation: Build social intranets with Confluence

Atlassian’s Confluence has developed over the past years from a mere enterprise wiki to an enterprise social collaboration platform. Nowadays, the system and various third party plugins offer anything that is necessary for building a professional, scaleable social intranet for enterprises. How can such a platform be built up – especially in large enterprises? Which hurdles need to be crossed? Which approach is appropriate? During our Atlassian Enterprise Club meeting with customers, Martin Seibert, CEO of //SEIBERT/MEDIA presented on the following topic: “Building Social Intranets with Confluence”

The advantages of pair programming

In agile software projects, it goes without saying that the developers work together. Scrum is, after all, based on teamwork. In most cases, however, each programmer works alone in front of their screen. The concept of pair programming is different because it pairs up two programmers who then together work on the same task, taking turns who sits at the keyboard. Customers unfamiliar with the pair programming idea might think this is some sort of job creation program: Why should we pay for two developers to work on a task that one programmer could do alone? This would only make sense if it cut development time in half, but that is most certainly not the case. No, this is indeed not the case. But how does pair programming benefit customers then?

Edit Lock for Confluence: better protection against simultaneous editing of Confluence pages

If two users (accidentally) edit the same Confluence document at the same time, data may be lost in some circumstances. Conflicts arise, the changes made by the users are not correctly merged, entries are lost and must be redone. The Edit Lock Confluence plugin developed by //SEIBERT/MEDIA ensures better protection and less confusion by displaying a more visible and interactive warning.
