New information is posted by people in charge of it without running the usual gantlet of official approval. Push technology gives all users the same newsfeed at the same time, regardless of rank. Weyerhaeuser Co. Roots Weyerhaeuser, the largest private land owner in the United States, isn't a high-tech headliner. But its Roots intranet is growing fast, offering improved access to colleagues and customers, better document handling, lower administrative costs and shorter lead times. Every facet of a product's life cycle, from development to marketing, can be tracked on the site.
Digitized book covers accompany production schedules, sales reports and an employee database.
