Thanks for the update. I'm basically looking for a way to keep employees updated and involved with company events, because more than 3/4 of the employees are off-site. I think allowing them to meet coworkers (that they would never otherwise interact with!) via the Ning platform would be an excellent way to foster a community. Thanks again. Keep up the great work!

But, a "Ning-tranet" is not for everyone. It won't get you calendar sharing or document versioning or project management tools (traditional "intranet" functionality). What it will get you is a rich platform for letting employees interact socially: tools for management to keep people posted on internal news, an electronic version of the company bulletin board where people can post whatever they like, a running list of birthdays, etc. As with any technology implementation, <a title="Web Strategy, Needs Analysis" href="http://www.cmurrayconsulting.com/strategy/the-importance-of-the-end-goal/" rel="nofollow">you should start with a careful review of current company needs and future company goals</a>. Once you have that down and the needs prioritized, selecting the software becomes the easy part. Hi Ben – I think we can call this implementation a real success.

I was doing some research on this topic this weekend, because I'm thinking about setting up a Ning/intranet for my company. How's it working for you guys so far? Hey!
