Euvic’s IT-Dev Reveals How It Created the Winning Intranet for Tauron

Wroclaw, Poland, February 14, 2015 --(PR.com)-- The objective of the competition organised by the Nielsen Norman Group (NN/g) is to select the best intranet designs in the world. This is the most highly valued study of the functionality and usability of corporate portals globally, based on which the report “Intranet Design Annual” has been published for 15 years.

Tauronet, as the TAURON Group’s intranet is called, received an award from NN/g first of all for applying the best intranet design practices and its innovative approach to content management and information personalisation.

The intranet was designed for over 16,500 users, working in 270 locations throughout Poland. It provides the employees of the different companies of the TAURON Group with transparent access to diverse information concerning them – both prepared locally and published at the central level. This prevents the flood of unnecessary information. At the same time the navigation to the relevant sections of the portal – e.g. HR, finance, law – brings the employees of those departments to the appropriate collaboration areas, while other users go to the publication area containing articles and documents from the given field.

Tauronet is also an electronic workplace where users may store and share documents, handle business issues and conduct projects. This enables the companies in the group to undertake joint projects, supply each other with services based on information exchange and efficient knowledge sharing.

“The Nielsen Norman Group award proves that Polish companies are able to create innovative solutions on the global market. The implementation of Tauronet was a big challenge and a very rewarding experience both in complexity and scale of the project for all parties involved. With appropriate technologies and implementation process, worked out together with Edisonda, we can implement similar projects for even the most demanding clients. In addition, as part of the Euvic Technology Group we have human potential that allows us to carry out many of projects of this type simultaneously,” said Tomasz Szałaj, CEO at IT-Dev.
