In the wake of a global recession, and in a financial climate of great austerity, intranets are continuing to find themselves in the firing line. Even among IBF member organisations, which between them run some of the world’s most advanced intranets, budgets are being challenged and new developments turned down. The smartest intranet managers are responding by finding new ways for the intranet to deliver previously hidden value for the organisation. They’re also busy assembling data to prove ROI. In doing so, they’re turning the threat of cutbacks into an opportunity to ensure that they, their intranets and their organisations survive and prosper in tough times.
In this briefing paper, IBF presents recent examples of organisations inside and outside IBF creating value through their intranets, as well as some general good practice principles. We hope it will give you inspiration and practical ideas for your own intranet programme.

About IBF research
The Intranet Benchmarking Forum (IBF) carries out research into best practice in intranet and portal deployment. Covering the hottest topics in the intranet world, the studies we undertake are rooted in practical examples from among IBF member organisations as well as leading non-member companies. The results of this in-depth research act as a basis for decision-making, a source of ideas, and the basis for rich interactions between participants at IBF meetings. Generally, members are given exclusive access to our findings, although we do from time to time make a report available to non-members for a fee.
