The internal web helps facilitate clear and direct communications in product development groups. When we develop a new product, we go through cycles of learning. The faster you can get a product out and look at it, the better you can make the next generation of product. The benefits are very real. Cycle times for publishing information are shorter.
People now have access to information that is important to their jobs.
The company has found that access to their internal Web has also contributed to new creativity in the organization, thus helping to inspire innovation. People's imaginations are a little freer now. They are being more innovative with applications and more comfortable with exploring new ideas. People are experimenting and not taking things for granted. The organization can adopt change more readily and not get stuck, rather than leaving business processes the same way they've always been.
