Officescape has unveiled Hosted Intranet, a service which enables organisations to collaborate and share information through a secure corporate intranet portal.

The company said that the hosted Intranet service includes built-in department management and customer user management functions for scalability and use as a business management portal, while reliability and security concerns are addressed with the use of high-availability servers and SSL connections.

The above features provides a 99.9% up-time guarantee, real-time backups, free upgrades and spam and virus protection, the company said.

The new service also reduces the cost, time investment and maintenance that building a traditional intranet portal requires, and provides a fully-functional and customised intranet in a few minutes, rather than a few months.

The Intranet service does not require software to install, no servers to maintain, and no monthly payment, making it an preferable option for businesses of all sizes and industries, the company said.

Further, the new hosted Intranet service provides a cost-effective, managed portal that is accessible online, anytime, anywhere, Officescape said.
