Bringing Experience Into the EnterpriseRevamping the Citrix Intranet

Andrew DayCitrix Customer Experience Group

Are Employees Customers?

Customers Have High Expectations

Great Experiences = Bottom-Line Success

Businesses Don’t Treat Employees as Customers

Wasted Time and Frustration Cost Money

Intranets: A Prime Source of Employee Frustration

The Citrix Intranet Is No ExceptionEmployees say:

• Search doesn’t work• Much content is

outdated or wrong• The IA is confusing• Employee profiles

are particularlyinaccurate

• It’s easier to ask theperson at the nextdesk for help, than tolook for help on theintranet!

The ROI Question

• Cisco claims “$25 million ROI” on intranet revamp• Oracle and GE claim >$1 million ROI • Avenue A / Razorfish: ROI is irrelevant – an intranet is as

essential as email, so it has to be made to work well
