It was then he realized the intranet project needed to do more than just give a dedicated space to file an expense report to consider how it might enable new, improved approaches to work that help employees accomplish daily tasks.
Skooz OK, so it s like this. This used to be a really nice profile page; pics galore, nice wallpapers, and if I say so my self, pretty cool.
