Top benefits of the new BridgeNet

3

Multi-purpose functionality built in

The collaborative platform serves as what intranets were intended to be, which is simply a company’s internal website for information sharing, task scheduling, contacts, and much more.

Ease of management

Administrators can quickly access operation features, including security settings, back up sites and site data, perform restorations, and update privileges all on a single dashboard.

Customizable

Administrators will have the ability to build custom elements in your section of BridgeNet.

Document management and collaboration

Informed employees make better decisions, meet deadlines, understand the shared business strategy, and contribute better to it. File sharing on BridgeNet is done by a simple click or touch of a button.

Integration with your existing apps

BridgeNet will work seamlessly with your Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, and PowerPoint), Teams, CRM, and many other back-office systems and previous versions.

Ease of use and design assistance

Administrators won’t need to go to our BridgeNet team of developers to improve your website or create database management systems because the new BridgeNet features and benefits include the ability to build solutions that better meet your business needs.
