Each department has their own page or hub where they store useful templates and links for their own use. They also post updates and metrics that the rest of the company can use to see how that department is performing and what is new with them. The department pages are also used to share documents with the rest of the company like PPT templates or records of completed projects.
We also use Igloo as a social media platform. We post updates about new employees, upcoming events, and good news in people's personal lives as well as their work. In addition, we use Igloo for archiving of important records. We can have multiple people and departments contribute and we can access the documents remotely if needed.,Notifications: Igloo can push email updates to users.
Organization: Igloo allows for you to create pages, sub pages, and many layer deep sections. You can also organize the layout of your pages.
Versioning: it's super easy to reserve and edit documents for offline use. And you can see who last edited a document and when.
Offline access: there's a desktop version you can use very easily. It's really good for dropping a bunch of files at once.,Search: It's like the early days of the internet with there search. Once I was told there was a form to use our gym somewhere on Igloo. I searched each key word I could think of and each time needed to wait several seconds for results to load. Large number of results would come up and none were relevant. It was a mess.
Upload: Something very funny happens every time I try to add documents using the desktop version. About half of the time instead of copying what I want it to, it copies a document I haven't opened in about a year. It's really an impressive and confusing bug.
Logging in: I need to login to the desktop version every time I want to access anything (web version doesn't have this issue).,8,Compliance: we have easy to access and version controlled records of important documents.
Central repository of resources: employees have a place to go for the latest templates and processes.
Employee satisfaction: place to share good news, ideas, or ask for help.,Simpplr, Jive and JostleSarah MeerschaertGood but not great2019-01-03T14:41:29.691ZWe use Igloo as our company's intranet. It's useful but complex. We have an FTE dedicated to managing Igloo b/c of how heavily we use the system.
