Kelros CMS

The system offers a simple to use process for adding content to the site, reducing the pressure on the IT team, which no longer has to be involved in uploading new data to the site. This provides a cost-effective way to improve corporate communications and significantly improves the speed at which information can be made available. It also eliminates the complexity of distributing information throughout an organisation with multiple locations.

kelros.intranet has a powerful and flexible in-built search engine for finding information across your intranet and beyond. Users can increase search criteria by indicating other databases that should be searched.

The application has been designed to provide a configurable structure that enables users to personally define the way they wish to view the site. This structure can be grown organically without any technical development – restructure or add to existing menus to create a hierarchy and well managed Intranet

Why use a shrink-wrapped solution in an IBM Domino environment?

If you have an existing IBM Notes / Domino environment, this out-of-the-box solution will provide a rich and fully functional intranet site in less than a day. If you don’t have IBM Notes / Domino, a Domino server can be installed, configured and the intranet site set-up in a similar time scale. Alternatively, the intranet could be hosted on an external Domino server and made securely available to your employees in a single day. Whichever option you select to deliver kelros.intranet, the return on investment is rapid and the solution quickly and easily usable.
