Sharing Info Across Organizations Used to be Difficult
In 1998, I started working on Intranets. I had no idea what they were that first day on the job, but I quickly learned the importance of sharing information across an organization in an easy way. There was one humongous problem, though: maintaining it was horrible – hence the reason I was hired in the first place. Things evolved slowly, but then quickly accelerated.
The History of the Intranet: The Early Days
The first few years consisted of working with simple pages with text and links. Think of it as a clunky Wiki-like site. When features came out to add any kind of “flare” we quickly adopted it, to attract users and make the experience better. This quickly turned into gaudy sites with some designs that embarrass us today, much like those awkward school pictures from high school (at least for me, anyway).
But through all of that, Intranets have gotten so much better.
2019 and Beyond
