Intranet software for government agencies.

Publish news, announcements and updates—and know that everyone got the memo.

A variety of publishing tools are at your fingertips in Communifire. Publish an all-agency announcement as an article, start a discussion on an important news item, or message a targeted group of employees with a project update. Make content “required reading” with the click of a button, and track who’s read your update (and who needs a friendly reminder). Like buttons, ratings and commenting features enable your audience to share their feedback with ease. Your team will be notified of new content via their personalized newsfeed—but only if they have the right permissions.

Quickly find the right people.

The old employee directory just got a face-lift. With robust employee profiles including personalization and social networking features, you can search on more than just a name. Look for contacts by job title, department, content authored, spaces joined, and more. This supercharged index of personnel makes it easy to find and share knowledge internally.

Now government offices can manage and share files and documents at the speed of business.

Ditch the clunky old file-share and get your people out of their email inboxes. Communifire speeds up the workflow for your government agency with fast, easy, streamlined document management tools. Drag-and-drop files to upload, and preview files before you download. Comprehensive version control features make sure you never lose important information. Powerful search features help you find the document you’re looking for quickly.

The single source of truth.

Tap into the expertise you already have—with Communifire, your centralized knowledge-base builds and updates itself. No more disorganized file folders, glacial-paced FTP transfers or messy shared drives. Your intranet software collects knowledge automatically, and builds a collection of intelligence as your agency works. Procedure manuals, process documents, guidebooks, articles, blogs and discussions become a self-serve resource for everyone.

Give every team, department, branch, or group their own digital workspace.

In Communifire, you can build a dedicated space for just about anything you can think of. Pull people together to collaborate on a project, join forces on a volunteer event, or share information within a department. Communifire spaces are like digital communities that simplify communication and make people feel more connected. Privacy and moderation settings keep spaces running smoothly. Vendors, contractors and the public can be invited to spaces, too, so transparency is easy to maintain and news is easy to share.

Give your government employees and public officials a digital workplace they enjoy logging into.

Communifire is a new kind of intranet software. It blends the best features of social media (like communication tools, newsfeeds and commenting capabilities) with the most powerful productivity tools to create a unique digital workplace that your people actually find value in visiting. When your employees are happy, the people you serve are happy—and nowhere is this truer than in government.

Build an intranet homepage that feels like home for your public sector employees and contractors.

Build an online home for your people that makes them feel in the loop at all times.

Have ideas for a specific homepage design? Don’t worry—it’s in your budget. Your Axero support team is happy to build it for you at no extra charge.

Search and find information lightning fast and super relevant.

Communifire’s contextual search functionality pulls up all relevant conversations, documents, media and files that include your search term. Filter the results to zero in on exactly what you need. Important information won’t get lost in the shuffle in Communifire, so your agency will be able to serve the public more effectively than ever.

From event planning to project management, collaboration tools keep everyone communicating and collaborating.

Scrap the departmental silos for good. Because everything is in one place in your agency intranet, your people never have to go outside their browser window to collaborate. Work together on a project, comment on a file, add to a discussion, comment on an article, “like” a status update, rate an idea—everyone is connecting and sharing right where the content lives.

Everyone can create content in Communifire—only you decide what the limits are.

By default, any Communifire user can publish content using a variety of content publishing tools, including articles, blogs, images, videos, status updates, polls, wikis and more. Communifire encourages two-way conversation with comment fields, “like” buttons and rating controls. But administrators have total control over user permissions, so information that needs to stay within the department stays within the department

For content that’s mandatory for employees and contractors to read, you can make it required reading with the click of a button. Is the information time-sensitive? You can give your content an expiration date. With the social newsfeed-like activity stream, everyone will stay up to date.

Manage, assign and track the progress of tasks with just a few clicks.

Your government agency will run smoother with Communifire’s built-in task management tool. List your own tasks and check them off when they’re done–or assign tasks to others. Your employees and contractors will more easily be able to stay on track and get things done on time when they can see exactly what they need to get done and when. With Communifire, the team to-do list is more manageable and transparent.

Manage your time and your department’s schedule right in your Communifire intranet software.

Create and share meetings from your personal calendar, assemble an inter-departmental event complete and reserve a room for the occasion, or create a calendar specific to a team so everyone stays in sync. Drag-and-drop appointments to change times. Color-coding makes it easy to see what lies ahead. You can add outside contractors, vendors and even the public to any calendar event or meeting, too. Communifire calendar syncs seamlessly with Outlook and Google Calendar.

Use chat for real-time conversations. Reduce email.

Communifire users can chat 1:1 or with a group so conversation happens in the moment. Drag and drop files into the chat window to share information with ease. And chat is searchable forever, adding to your personal knowledge-base with each exchange.

For conversations that require more thought and discussion, use the Ideation feature to capture ideas from your employees, contractors, vendors and the public. Crowdsourcing ideas ensures everyone has a voice, and ratings features ensure the best ideas rise to the top. When an idea is ready for action, turn to Communifire’s discussion forums, polls and blogs to bring it to life and build consensus.

Track who’s using what and gain valuable insight to improve the intranet experience.

Communifire comes with a suite of auditing and analytics tools. Check content statistics including views, likes, comments, and bookmarks. Gain valuable user insight with sentiment analysis, and see which employees read your content. Delve into site traffic reports and know exactly how your intranet is being used internally and externally—get reports on visits, unique visitors, pages per visit, IP address visits, total visits from members, what browser and operating systems are being used, and what content is being accessed. Search analytics will tell you exactly what keywords and tags people are searching for, and what they’re clicking on.

In the cloud or on-premise, your intranet software security is our top priority.

Single-tenant architecture ensures you get your own independent database and instance of Communifire software. Application security is thoroughly tested against SQL injection attacks, malicious JavaScript code, cookie hijacking, and cross site request forgery, and SaaS and self-hosted installations can be secured with SSL/TLS. Communifire supports single sign-on integrations, including Active Directory and ADFS/SAML, Azure, custom setups, and social logins.

You can rest assured that your government intranet has top-notch user security as well. Communifire employs a fine-grained, role-based permission matrix to manage access to different parts of the system.
