Source: https://www.xalt.de/en/confluence-intranet-with-refined/ ## The Social Workplace for Companies That Already Use Confluence and Need an Easy-to-Use Intranet Solution Effective collaboration and easy information sharing are among the most important factors today for making your company fit for the future. Teams and users are often distributed globally, work from home or remotely, and still need contact with their colleagues and want to stay informed about company news. ## Confluence as the Basis for Your Internal Communication Platform New tools usually require lengthy onboarding and costly training. As collaboration software, Confluence offers numerous features that allow employees to exchange ideas and work together digitally. In addition to social features, Confluence also offers essential user and permission management functions. This makes it easy to restrict access to areas of the intranet, for example by location, team membership, or scope of function. This ensures that you provide every employee with the information that matters most to them. ## Refined – Simple, Clever, and Easy to Use for Admins and Users - Time-saving design of new intranet pages and content using drag-and-drop building blocks - Social media- and website-oriented user interface for easy onboarding - Personalized user experience based on location, permissions, and roles ## Your Brand Identity Front and Center - Incorporate logo, company colors, fonts, and more - Provide communication documents such as presentations, templates, and guides ## Integrated Knowledge Base with Confluence Your employees search daily for information, documents, or other content they need for their work.
