With employees not learning how to be HTML programmers and network administrators they can focus more of their time on company customers. When a company sets out to build an intranet by itself, it assumes all the risk. Outsourcing this development can be a way of spreading the risk among many companies. The intranet vendor has a personal stake in seeing your intranet succeed and has taken a risk in making that investment. The development of an intranet can have a tremendous positive re-engineering benefit.
Employees can better communicate and collaborate via the intranet.
These and other work flow enhancements can be achieved faster by outsourcing the development of these systems and applications to outside companies. Intranet vendors can normally delivery intranet applications faster than a company could build them in house. This is perhaps one of the greatest reasons to outsource intranet development. Most companies want to be cutting edge but do not want to invest the resources to do so. Partnering with a cutting-edge intranet vendor can give a company's employees access to new technology, tools and techniques involved with Internet technology.
