Intralogic - a SharePoint alternative.
Intralogic provides an ideal alternative to SharePoint for those businesses that would prefer an off-the-shelf intranet and collaboration environment. The main difference is Intralogic is a complete solution, SharePoint is a development platform. We strive to make intranets simple, yet powerful, fully featured, and without the need to spend months or years in expensive development hoping you get it right.
Being easier to use, and requiring no development, Intralogic is ready to go from day 1. We’ve avoided complexities inherent in SharePoint by providing powerful administrator modules that address all levels of your organisational needs - from configuring virtual sites to desiging complex workflows. Best of all , you don't need to be a technical person to do these tasks, Intralogic is designed for normal people to manage.
Intralogic avoids the problem of Intranet projects never ending. Many keep going until budgets are cut as management try and work out how they got into the software development business in the first place. Many Weblogics customers have been there, its a shame we didn’t speak to them before they started their journey.
Weblogics developed Intralogic to operate out-of-the-box. Now in its 9th version, Intralogic today reflects the beneficial inputs from working with our large customers across all industries, and responding to their needs. And its not only the speed of deployment that an out-of-the box approach gives, changes to business environments can result in you making changes to your Intranet in hours, not weeks and months. And we'll say it again, the best part of Intralogic is it can be administrered by ‘normal’ people. And that difference means you can focus on the things your core business issues, not on SharePoint trivia.
