The Challenge and Its Implications

Having an outdated intranet that fails to meet the employee's needs

Decreased productivity

Employees may struggle to find the information they need, leading to wasted time and reduced efficiency.

Negative employee experience

A frustrating and outdated intranet can lower employee morale and decrease job satisfaction.

Communication Breakdowns

Outdated intranets often lack the features necessary for effective communication, leading to misunderstandings and delays.

Missed opportunities

An outdated intranet may not support new business initiatives, growth opportunities or new marketing and sales initiatives.

Possible Solutions

Third-Party apps

Google Workspace doesn't currently provide a native feature that allows creating and delivering targeted content directly within the Gmail interface. Companies usually rely on other third-party products to develop their Intranet.

Google Apps Script

An alternative solution involves developing a custom solution using Google Apps Scripts, which implies a complex development. However, using Google Apps Script has its downsides. Managing and securing scripts can be quite challenging, often deviating from standard coding practices. Additionally, they lack inherent alerting and reporting mechanisms, necessitating vigilant monitoring to adapt to changes in Google APIs when needed.

Optimal solution: InfoBox

InfoBox seamlessly integrates with Google Workspace, allowing employees to access essential information directly from the Gmail side panel. Receiving personalized content tailored to your role fosters a stronger connection to the company. Our mobile app ensures you stay informed and engaged anytime, anywhere.
