Now, the market is changing even more and the line between the digital workspace and the intranet is fading. Discover four articles that explore the role of the intranet in the modern technology landscape and how to get more out of your intranet investments and efforts.

Social Intranet versus Digital Workspace: Why choose?

Why would you go one place to work, and another to get information about work and communicate with the people you work with? Doesn’t really make sense, does it? In this article, we explain the difference between a social intranet and the digital workspace and why you shouldn’t choose between the two, to enable your employees to work as productively and efficiently as possible.

In addition, we also discuss how you can use social intranet elements in your digital workspace based on the needs of your organisation. With Workspace 365 you can use Shared Spaces, integrate your entire existing intranet or intranet elements in the digital workspace.

Why integrate the intranet into your digital workspace?

A digital workspace and the intranet have many things in common. In both platforms you can work together in documents and stimulate collaboration between employees. By selecting a digital workspace that supports the intranet, you can enable employees to focus on their important work and primary tasks.

The three big advantages of intranet in your digital workspace are:

1. You have all your task- and business-oriented information in one platform, enabling you to no longer switch between different platforms.
2. You increase the employee engagement; announcements and information are immediately visible for people when they open their digital workspace.
3. You reduce costs and have more (automatic) updates. When you choose a digital workspace that supports the intranet, you have various feature updates and you don’t have to invest time into them yourself. This way, you make use of the most recent and newest applications. 

In our article ‘Why integrate the intranet into your digital workspace’ we also discuss how you can select a digital workspace that supports the intranet and what you need to take into consideration when you choose a digital workspace.
