As we gear up to say goodbye to 2024, it’s time for our annual rewind, think Top 10 Best/Worst lists of everything from movies to food to cities. But hold your horses, because today we’re doing something extra special: Top 10 Intranet Web Parts of 2024!
And hey, if you’re wondering, “What in the world is an intranet? And what’s a web part?”
Don’t sweat it, we’ve got you covered.
What is an intranet?
An intranet is like a private website or network that only people working in your company, can use.
Think of it like a club with a secret password. Once you're inside, you can share files, send messages, and access important tools and information, but only the people who are part of the group can join. It keeps everything safe, organized, and easy to find without letting strangers see what’s inside.
What is an intranet webpart?
Webparts are like apps, divided into sections you can add to make the page more useful and fun for everyone in the group!
Imagine the school bulletin board, where you can stick different things on it, like a calendar, a weather chart, photos of students who won a inter-school game, or a list of fun events. A web part works the same way, lets you add things like news, announcements, quick links or charts to a page so everyone in the group can see and use them. It’s a way to make the page more useful and customized for what people need! Here in this blog, we present the top intranet tools that will help to increase collaboration and productivity in your organization.
