Social

Mquest Software’s Intranet-as-a-service offering, The HUB, is the next-generation (cloud and on premise) employee engagement platform that helps you replace your conventional intranet with a state of the art, fully configurable & social intranet – a platform where your employees can innovate, network, collaborate, converse and engage.



Intranets

The previous era faced the following challenges on the inside and outside dimensions such as


  • Static Content
  • Very focused on task and project information
  • Non intuitive designs
  • Painful search experience
  • Not geared towards social collaboration
  • Being a set of disintegrated systems
  • Intranet Infrastructure that didn’t exist or scale to allow a geo-distributed force to collaborate in real time.


The Intranet paradigm has moved to institutionalize sustained user adoption to usher in a cultural change and produce an engaged workforce.

Mquest Software’s next generation enterprise social collaboration platform – The Hub, creates a seamless, engaging and personalized experience that makes users feel welcome, encourages them to contribute freely, enables them find / access what they need and allows them to stay informed, regardless of where or how they do it.
