K12, Higher Ed and other learning centers are embracing integrated learning and automated technologies to offer students and teachers with a comprehensive educational experience.

But having the right technology is just not enough. It needs to be supported with smart and actionable strategies.

On the surface, the objective of an intranet is as an enabler offering relief to the life of users and stakeholders in doing their job. Hence, identifying what right components to choose, what processes to integrate plays an important role in defining its adoption.

Defining the concept

This has been a recurring question among customers when they are evaluating Liferay and we have been point by point explaining why Liferay DXP is such a better option compared to its community alternative. I recently wondered why this question keeps popping up in these meetings.

So I decided to do a quick search and found that there is no easy differentiation offered to end users. So here in this post I have outlined the definitive benefits on why you should prefer DXP over Liferay 7.

Technology has entered every facet of life today and every enterprise has successfully implemented it in order to gain competitive edge in the market. One such area where technology has provided huge gains is workforce management.

What is ‘digital’ transformation & how we work?

The broadening on the Business Intelligence space has definitely offered an advantage. Though, what is often forgotten is any good data analysis tool is as good as how the analyzed data could be represented.

This is why I think INTELLIGENCE REPRESENTATION must be the priority for every organization. There are two facets of this extravaganza. One is Data (i.e. furnished information) & other is Visualization.

Intranets have evolved tremendously over the last few years. What started initially as a simple online notice board, is today increasingly used to drive multiple KPIs across different teams as well as overall, at an organization level.

Enter 2016, and your company’s corporate intranet will not be much different from the popular social media platforms.
