The new intranet will change our internal collaboration and knowledge management. It will be easier for you to get exactly the information that interests you and is relevant to your work - even beyond the boundaries of your work unit.

Information hierarchies are reduced - information is directly accessible and teamwork promoted. With your own posts and comments you can react to information and give feedback.

Personal initiative is welcome! Which topics and discussions do you find interesting? In which groups would you like to work? Which of your contents could also be interesting for others? You have a choice! You are part of a global FES network that lives from transparency and from your participation. Because - your intranet is there for you.

But don't worry: you don't have to be a technology guru to use the system. It is intuitive to learn and easy to use. The new intranet basically consists of three areas:

1. Information. This you may know from the old-fashioned intranet(s). In the new intranet, however, you can control yourself which information is relevant for you. This helps to channel the flood of information.
    
2. Collaboration. This offers you a variety of opportunities to work together, within your team, but also independently of location and across work units. Knowledge management becomes simpler and more comprehensive. But personal contact is also encouraged.
    
3. Social communication. You get a fast, direct and uncomplicated way to exchange yourself with colleagues.

Are you already curious about what our Social Intranet looks like and how you can use it in the future?

The screenshots we show you below are all in German. We have not yet managed to create the intranet in English, French and Spanish (but it will be soon!). However, we do not want to withhold the basic information about the system from you. And since you will surely be confronted with German terms all the time - "Kursbogen", "Maßnahmenstammblatt" etc. - we trust you will be able to find your way :-)

The new intranet is based on the Coyo system. The most important areas are:

Homepage: Here you will find contributions from the fields of information (3), collaboration (1) and social communication (1). You will also get an overview of the content you have subscribed to (2). The start page gives you a personalized overview of the things you want or need to know. Everything else does not appear on your personal start page - so no FES Spam :-)

Since we did not have a worldwide FES intranet until now, only content from the old German intranet will be migrated. When the new intranet is up and running, you can get started and create new content.

Do you still want to know how the migration process is planned? That's how it will work:

Migration assistants will support us in migrating relevant content from the old intranet to the new one.

Central information on work organization (i.e. information that is relevant for most employees, such as handouts, forms or training information) is migrated by the migration assistants.

The pages of the work units and offices will in future only contain reduced information, e.g. the organisation chart with contact information and a self-presentation. Therefore, only content that is of interest for the organization as a whole is migrated from the previous intranet. In the future, a workspace can be used for information that is relevant only to internal work units.

The schedule: The positions of migration assistants are currently advertised. Once they have been recruited, the migration can begin. Only then will we know how long the migration process will take. We'll keep you posted.
