It takes a keen mind, one that can visualise how something will work from all angles. Think of it as Mechanical Engineering for the virtual world. Pretty intense stuff right? No need to answer, it is, and it’s the life these folks lead every day. Being in their minds must be like looking at the Matrix’s green code.

So the history and the future of websites, web applications and other software owes a lot to these monkeys and their strange minds the pretty stuff can be done by us designers.

At Brighten we like to think that we innovate when it comes to our work. We provide solutions to any problems our clients bring to us, as well as our own problems with our own projects. Innovation and invention generate improvement. That’s a weighty statement for you to digest.

However there are other uses for Intranets, such as a communication basis between departments and employees within a large organisation, or a monitoring framework for individuals to keep track of the tasks at hand, even as a portal for clients to monitor progress of a particular project. Intranets are very versatile both their abilities and their delivery.

We often receive enquiries from clients for software solutions to their requirements, we advise them that the exact needs they have can be fulfilled by an Intranet system without the need for bloaty software and at greatly reduced costs, and if their needs increase, then the system can be added to easily, and more importantly, cheaply.

One huge advantage of choosing an Intranet system over software is that it can be accessed from anywhere you have a web connection. No need to install software onto all of your machines, or carry a CD around so you can run it on computers while on the road, just log into your admin portal, and you are good to go.
