Intranet Application

I'm trying to look for a pre-made Intranet for the company I work for (the one we have now is terrible, and they're always complaining about it), and was hoping someone might know of any well known ones etc?

The one we currently have, has things such as;

  • Notice Board for people to sell things etc
  • Different departmental sections, which allows users to upload files / create extra folders (if they have the correct permissions), and parts which only certain users can access etc
Currently, when new starters start, they have to register for an Intranet login, which stores them in an SQL database. However, we'd like it to use the persons login details from Active Directory etc, so they don't need to register for a login.

Our Intranet also doesn't have an Admin backend for Admins to delete files etc (mad eh!?).

Does anyone know of an out of the box Intranet which is available for download?

Cheers all!
 
Microsoft's SharePoint is designed for needs like yours. It's a commercial CMS (content management system). I'm not very familiar with Windows/.NET CMSes being a php guy. But, I think DotNetNuke would provide the features you need.

Sounds like you're in a Microsoft environment so something like DotNetNuke may do the trick. I don't know if it will integrate with Active Directory right out of the box of if you'd need to modify the code to handle this feature. I think they are using the Microsoft Best Practices Member Provider so in theory it would not be too difficult to make this modification. The key word there is theory. ;)

There are plenty of great products out there. PHP Nuke is very popular in the PHP world.

Otherwise, you can search on http://aspin.com/ for ASP and ASP.NET programs if you want to keep in the Microsoft world.

Sharepoint is definately the way to go w/out spending a lot of money. It is very flexible and integrates well with Office.
