You're certainly listing a lot of common problems with intranet
implementations. The larger the company the more disorganized it often
tends to be. This is generally because people in various divisions take
it upon themselves to set up their own software with little regard to
what has already been implemented and secondly because a lot of systems
will still use older software for specific tasks as it would have been
judged as not being cost effective to upgrade the legacy systems. You'll
notice this a lot in banks that tend to use two or three systems
simultaneously, real headache for new employees I'm sure! I know a lot
of people in companies are experimenting with wikis, however this is not
generally endorsed as official practice.

Hi,
I am currently reviewing an area of an intranet, and getting a lot of
anecdotal comments such as "all the intranets I've ever seen worked
like this".
To deal with this somewhat, I am taking a short quiz of people's
experiences with their current intranets.
If anyone here can help, replies would be most appreciated.
Kind regards,
Vanessa Toholka
QUESTIONS:
1. Does your company have a single overarching intranet, which is the
first point that everyone goes to, with sub sections for various
groups OR do you have a separate site for each section or group within
the company?
2. Is your intranet built on a standard set of templates reflected
across divisions, or are your sub sites or various intranets very
different?
3. If a new service/resource was being launched in your organisation
would the announcement be made via email or via the intranet?
4. Do you utilise any collaboration tools. (discussion boards, wikis,
blogs etc?) If so do they enjoy a good level of user activity and
participation?
