(Pseudo)personalized homepages
Let users create the type of homepage that meets their needs. This goes a step further than the role-dependent content we see in the early 2000s. What we see here is a trend that shows specific information that best suits the needs of the user. In the list above, this often concerns certain widgets that users can turn on or off, recently visited pages, a link list of most used websites/applications, and so on. For this setup of a (pseudo) personalized homepage, it is necessary that there is a large amount of content for specific user groups and insight into and control over the background of each employee in order to be able to offer the right information.
face bookThe killer task on every intranet is 'find a colleague', or: the mugshot. We see this in our own task analyses for intranets. A clearly recognizable trend among this year's winners is the improved mugshot widget with an auto-suggest functionality. When typing a name in the 'find colleague window', suggestions of colleagues are given. This allows you to search faster. In the best cases, we see that the suggestion of names also contains the most relevant information about that person (for example: email address, phone number, specialty) and also allows users to take direct action such as sending an email, calling, or bookmarking the contact. This previous article about the future of the mugshot on intranet may be from 2010, but the trend of people-based intranets is happening right now.
Harmonious integration of applications
In the intranet projects we are involved in, we often see the love/hate relationship between the use of intranet and the applications that employees use to do their work. They sometimes encourage or support each other, but often function separately or are in conflict with each other. With the winners, we see that the applications indonesia phone data that the users actually need are easily accessible and findable. They therefore avoid the battle with the problems that come with developing double functionality for the intranet, while a perfectly functioning application already exists. Many companies choose to let users add the desired applications to a personal list or page on the intranet. In addition, most companies implement a number of 'mandatory' applications to ensure that employees have access to the right tools.
Improved mega menus
An easily scannable menu with the right labels makes it easier for the user to find the right information right away. By seeing many choices at a glance, scanning and making your choice, you are at your destination with one mouse click. Mega menus are used even more and are better designed so that it does not seem that the mega menu is part of the page behind it.
