Presentation from Intranets2016

About my talk

The digital workplace is an emerging concept, and universities are complex places. Over the past 10 years QUT have been on a journey of continuous improvement covering staff and student intranets, mobile and most recently transforming four searches into one. In this engaging and practical session, Andy will demonstrate key features of QUT’s new digital workplace:

• a unique presentation of global vs. local content that helped reduce content duplication by over 85%
• meeting varied user needs with their LaunchPad and Application Directory
• making search work (in just three months)
