The internal employee portal is a secure site where all users can easily share and discuss information within your company or organization in an internal network(intranet). With an implementation of Northstar’s Internal employee portal, it can easily account for a more effective and efficient collaboration between employees within your business establishment. Northstar’s internal employee portal provides a user-friendly interface which can use custom online forms directly on your Northstar intranet pages. In fact, no technical knowledge is needed for users to add necessary fields. The internal employee portal is capable of handling heavy workloads of various tasks necessary for any business. For example, you can effectively fill a form for time sheets, travel expense reimbursements, mileage logs, leave of absence requests, expense tracking, vacancy applications, event registration, room bookings, issue tracking and beyond.

One of the main functions of the internal portal is to allow for effective knowledge sharing. Therefore, the infrastructure is very flexible and can be used to write simple documents (like a wiki or knowledge base), share important documents, publish forms, create dashboards or create rich internal web pages. All local users in the intranet can create profile pages which consist of user contact information, their fields of expertise, a comment section, and useful tips or documents. The users can also fully personalize their profiles to meet their needs in the company as they have the ability to edit the profile and add widgets when required. The profile pages are accessible and deployable using the “People Directory”, which is a list of the people inside the organization by their sub group (e.g. department).

In addition to the features of the internal employee portal, there are also administrative controls. Whoever is appointed as the system administrator of the internal employee portal, that person is responsible for obligatory limitations within the intranet. In accordance with the user profiles, the administrator has the ability to restrict the access of certain profiles from other users and also can restrict access to an entire directory from certain users. With additional settings, the system administrator can set which users have access to specific forms, who should be notified by email when a form is submitted or when the status of a specific request has been changed. Lastly, administrators can create reports of the filled out data or export them on to a spreadsheet.

Web based project management software is the collection of programs, processes and information that are used to manage various phases of a project which is accessible through the internet.

Each of these processes can be controlled and automated through project management software solutions. Web based solutions are coded in a browser supported language such as HTML, ASP or PHP in order to be accessed by clients through the internet.
