is a key to this gateway. Bitrix IntranetPortal is powered by the D.I.G. enterprisesearch engine - the industry-leading tool forfast and accurate location of required dataacross an organizations digital assets.

The document workflow system allows users to organize , store, and share files

Relying on shared network drives and e-mailbased collaboration systems inevitably

results in ever-growing, unstructuredinformation silos, most often referred to as adata dump. Allowing employees to maintainvaluable documents on local drives withoutsharing them across the organizationleads to even more trouble. From lowerproductivity and business inefficiency andduplicating work to embarrassing securityand compliance issues when critical datais lost or misused, not having a least some

kind of centralized data store is an evenworse option.

Document workflow

Bitrix Intranet Portal offers a comprehensiveyet easy-to-use workflow management

system that lets you store, organize andshare documents and address criticalknowledge continuity and security issues.

Employees and workgroups simply movetheir workflow documents to intranetfile storages featuring shared access,versioning, roll-back, backup, instantediting, forum discussions and immediateindexing for enterprise search.

Personal and workgroup tasks increaseworkforce productivity, project transparency andenable business performance monitoring

A simple click-away action specifies task detailsincluding responsible parties and followers,descriptions and progress bar.

The proper defining of a task and propersupervision is the key to solving it. This is

a simple maxim which, it seems, is beyonddispute. However, in the real world, eventhe proverb about not putting the cart beforethe horse gets violated all the time.

With the Bitrix Intranet Portals taskmanagement capabilities, you willtremendously increase workforceproductivity, project transparency andoverall business performance. Just imagine

how convenient it is for each employee andworkgroup to have their own dedicated list oftasks, notifications about their development,clear deadlines and milestones, progressbar and custom files repository. All this, andthe boss gets deep insight into each task.

Self-defined and cross-defined tasks carryan extensive accompanying description,history, supplemental documents and forum

discussions. Users can assign responsibleparties and followers, create a customtask appearance (including real-time Ganttcharts), and easily initiate two-way tasksynchronization with Outlook.

While all of this is happening, employeeskeep continuously-updated progressreports using an integrated WYSIWYG-editor and the option to attach report files
