Internal portal solutions (Intranet portals) are designed for a limited number of users, who usually are the employees of one company. The internal portal is a single point of entry into the information environment of the company, while having necessary features to distinguish the user access rights to different types of information.

Employees’ profiles, data exchange, teamwork, microblogs and forums, communities, idea sharing and other functions allow building a unified and easily manageable information space of the company.
