Q: What
types of hardware is PocketIntranet
intended for?

devices.

Q: What is the necessary investment in expensive IT infrastructure? Do we need new servers and
server software? What about costs for deployment, upgrades and
maintenance?
A: Nothing. PocketIntranet will use the existing infrastructure of internet
connections and computers. The
cost for the handheld device can even be included in the
monthly fee per user.
Installing and configuring a PDA to receive PocketIntranet content can be done
by users with only a basic knowledge of computers.
For your organization, PocketIntranet will be 5% Information Technology and 95% Business Opportunity.

Q: How does PocketIntranet complement our
existing
Intranet?
A: One good source of information for a PocketIntranet is a well-structured,
updated Intranet Website.
PocketIntranet complements an Intranet perfectly. A computer-based Intranet is
available only while using a computer that's connected to Internet.
This restricted availability limits the chances of an Intranet project
to be successful. On the other hand, PocketIntranet makes mission-critical
knowledge available anytime and anywhere; in customers meetings, while
traveling, at home, etc.
PocketIntranet will refer to content available on the Intranet site:
Downloadable presentations, Customer contract templates, Sales data, and much
more.
Therefore the combination of a traditional Intranet and a PocketIntranet is a
very powerful combination, fully supercharging ongoing
Intranet efforts.

Q: How secure is
the PocketIntranet solution? We're planning to put a lot of critical
information on
the PocketIntranet.
A: Security can be implemented at three levels:
1. The handheld device can be set to require a PIN code when turned on.
2. A PocketIntranet document can be set to require a
password when opened.
3. A PocketIntranet document can be set to
self-destruct at a given date.

Q: What makes the PocketIntranet so
easy to use?
A: The answer is twofold:
1. The skills needed to use a PocketIntranet takes less
than 15 minutes to master.
2. The content of a PockeIntranet is intended to give people
immediate access to information they
need in order to be more effective
and successful. Therefore, the motivation to learn and use
the PocketIntranet has been proven to
be very high.

Q: How is content updated?
A: Appointed Content Managers submit updates and new content to the
PocketIntranet people.
The information is formatted for use on handheld units
and interlinked for fast and logical navigation, using Crosslinx. Suitable third-party
content is then added.
* * *
Q: How are
the PDAs updated?
A: Updates are distributed via the organization's Intranet Website or emailed to the users.
* * *
Q: How much
content can be put onto those small handheld gadgets?
A: A PocketIntranet can hold well over 3,000 letter-size pages of highly crosslinked
text, combined
with 500+ images.
The speed of browsing PocketIntranet information is much faster than using
a quick, Internet-connected computer. The size of the screen will limit the size
of images, so large images may need to be broken up into a series of smaller
interconnected images.

Q: PocketIntranet is great for our organization. We are now interested in providing our
customers and partners with a PocketIntranet
solution, in order to give them superior access
to information related to the
use of our products and services. Can this be done?
A: As soon as the PocketIntranet is integrated into the everyday business of an
organization, suitable
Content Modules should be adapted for external use. This
is called a PocketExtranet.
The PocketExtranet will be distributed to your customers and business
partners, providing them with information related to your products and
services.
The PocketExtranet solution has a
compelling potential to create a substantial advantage over your competition!
Your next step is to Get Started...
