  "Professionalize and promote the market for corporate intranets and portals in Brazil."   Mission of the IIP, expressed in its Statute 

Inside IIP

A BIT OF HISTORY

"The creation of the IIP is not an isolated action - it is in the context of other movements and appears as a natural outgrowth of them. Its origin dates back to the creation of WI Intranet - a thread that came up with the support of the site Webinsider , who created the first column on "Intranets" in the country in 2002, signed by me. The list, in turn, gave rise in 2004, the Intranet Portal Site. Today, it is built into the portal IIP, comprising the Reference Center, where we migrated all items.

The next step was the creation of the Intranet Portal Award in 2008, which acted as a catalyst for the market and planted the seed of the concepts that have now formalized the Institute: professionalization, development, learning from benchmarking and others. The Institute Intranet Portal, so it is a class action and representative, non-profit, based on the concept of "coopetition", who wants to make the union the power of the actors involved to consolidate and expand the market importance of corporate intranets and portals in the country.

What unites us?

On the market for corporate intranets and portals still much lower and less valued than others (such as ERP, CRM or EAD, for example)? Why cases are still immature prevail on success stories, though these have been growing in importance and meaning? "In the midst of several hypotheses, two emerged as a consensus for a group representative of the market: lack professionalism and lack of support to spread the good practices that have been consolidated.

Several efforts have been and are being made to overcome these obstacles, but not a joint action. Up to now. Intranet Portal The Institute is therefore a response to this scenario. An association of all for all actors involved in the segment. That empower, evangelize, to clarify. That encourages, supports, or partner.

Our role is to show how corporate intranets and portals can be aligned with strategic business priorities. And note how they are essential in the process of creating an "organizational intelligence". Not forgetting to show that the critical factors for success go far beyond technology - such as governance and change management, to name just two. The demands of organizations for content, collaboration and integration in IT only tend to increase - it is inexorable.

This is our land, our harvest. All projections point to the exponential growth of importance of these demands, because without information and knowledge there is no competitive company in the twenty-first century. We are therefore in the eye of the hurricane. And we need to rise to the challenge, now and in the future. We took only the first steps, that's for sure. But the time to raise the professional status of this segment, contributing directly to improving the competitiveness of Brazilian organizations.

We therefore invite you to: join us, join - we have much to do. And only in a collaborative way to get there. "
