Frequently asked questions

What are the benefits of an intranet tailored to cities and municipalities?

An intranet designed specifically for local governments, like Involv, addresses the unique needs of city administrations. It improves communication between departments, streamlines HR and collaboration processes, and facilitates information sharing across services. The result: faster internal communication, fewer emails, and more engaged employees.

Is Involv suitable for both small and large municipalities?

Yes. Involv is scalable and modular, making it ideal for both smaller towns and large city councils. Whether you have 50 or 5,000 employees, you can fully customize the features and layout of your intranet to suit your organization’s needs.

How does an intranet help internal communication within a municipality?

An intranet centralizes all internal news, documents, and updates in one place. Staff no longer need to search through emails or multiple folders – they find what they need quickly. This improves transparency and boosts collaboration between departments.

Is the intranet accessible for field staff or employees without a fixed workstation?

Yes. Involv is fully responsive and accessible via smartphone or tablet. Field workers – such as technical teams, green services, or remote offices – can stay informed and connected to what’s happening inside the organization.

How quickly can we launch an intranet for our city or town?
