Notice Information

Notice Title

Provision of new Intranet

Notice Description

AHDB's current intranet was built almost 10 years ago by an agency as a bespoke offering for the organisation. The content management system it uses is Adobe Contribute, which is now an unsupported package, and holds a labyrinth of content which is no longer easy to navigate with no useful search function. The site itself originally was hosted by the agency but has since been migrated to an Azure environment within the AHDB Digital team who currently have sole responsibility for it. No development has taken place for at least three years, mainly due to the complexity of how the intranet was built and developed. AHDB realises that times have changed since our original intranet was developed for us. We want to fully embrace the ways of a modern workplace and empower our employees to work effectively and collaboratively. An audit recommendation that the current intranet offering was improved has led AHDB to decide to act.
