New WWF-UK Intranet

18. May 2010

An enterprise wiki improves the internal flow of information and collaboration between WWF-UK employees located all over the country

Intranet WWF UK

The purpose of internal communication at WWF-UK is not merely to provide information, but also to facilitate collaboration and knowledge management via the internet. In order to achieve this objective as effectively and efficiently as possible, WWF-UK developed the new intranet concept in cooperation with getunik. The “Atlassian Confluence” enterprise wiki is used for this purpose.

getunik has implemented and extended the software according to these requirements: 

• Information architecture
• Tailor-made appearance (skin)
• Homepage with individual news messages for each employee
• Single sign-on function: WWF-UK employees only have to log on to windows and are automatically logged on to the intranet (SSO and identity management with “Crowd”)
• The WWF organisation chart is generated automatically (employee turnover and restructuring are easy to model)
• A-Z list: Sorts individual pages alphabetically
• Who’s who: A people directory that presents a wealth of helpful user information with Microsoft Active Directory integration.

Naturally WWF-UK and getunik developed this project in workshops and also via wiki.

getunik has conceived and implemented several intranets with a conventional content management system over the last few years, also based on “Atlassian Confluence”.
