Intranets are a crucial tool in ensuring an organisation effectively communicates information to employees. They are also invaluable in streamlining internal information processes and facilitating improved business development.
As such, it is crucial that your organisation’s intranet is well-structured and designed to cater for the needs of users. The intranet also needs to be constantly updated in order to maintain relevancy and interact successfully with other web-based applications such as extranets and the Internet.

NSW: Web 2.0
Two-day conference and workshops, Harnessing Web 2.0 technologies to enhance collaboration
When: 12 - 13 Sept 2007
Where:
Crowne Plaza Darling Harbour Hotel, Sydney
Discount:
Early Bird expires: 17/08/07
15% DISCOUNT FOR ALL AWIA MEMBERS TILL 17/08/07
More Details:
Key topics to be explored include:
- How can blogs, wikis, and RSS enhance collaborative processes in your organisation
- Implementing communities of practice and virtual teams that work
- Engraining a culture of trust in collaboration via Web 2.0 technologies
- Seamlessly integrating Web 2.0 technologies into your existing architecture
- Getting the most from your portal and/or extranet
- Understanding which technologies and tools will work for you
Effective collaboration can assist your organisation to capitalise on your knowledge, information, and human resources. With Web 2.0 technologies enabling enhanced online communication and networking, people are now able to collaborate more effectively, both locally and across disparate locations, in a cost effective manner.
Unfortunately the contentious interpretations of exactly what Web 2.0 is, the seemingly endless technical jargon surrounding it, and the collapse of Web 1.0, has scared many away from realising the very real potential that these new technologies are offering.
This conference will not only clarify what Web 2.0 is and has to offer, but will also demonstrate how you can use these technologies to improve your organisations approach to collaboration, thus gaining a competitive advantage so sought after in modern organisations.
