Extensive Definition
Interact Intranet is a web application offering a
suite of tools which provide an organization with Intranet, Extranet, Document
Management and Workflow
capabilities.
Interact is installed on a Microsoft
Windows
Server (IIS) and Microsoft
SQL Server database platform, allowing it to cater for many
thousands of concurrent users.
Although primarily developed for use by private
sector organisations, Interact has become particularly well
established in the UK Social
housing/Housing
Association sector.
Features
Interact’s architecture is that of a core
application, with a number of modules that are purchased separately
and activated either at the inception/installation of the software,
or at any point after that. The additional modules require the core
software to provide basic functionality and cannot be installed as
standalone tools.
The core functionality consists of:
- Decentralised content management and file management
- User and group based security
- Departmentalised directory of staff, with contact details and portrait photographs
- Image repository
Additional applications include:
- Document management and version control
- Logging and approval of expense claims
- Electronic forms to replace paper based processes
- Processing and reporting on employee holidays and sickness
- Scheduling and assessment of training courses
