Intranet Information Architecture
Develop an information structure that’s meaningful and purposeful.
A good information architecture defines the structure and organisation of your information in a way that supports the usability of your intranet or enterprise portal. Akendi’s deep expertise in user experience design ensures the information architecture of your portal improves information access, relevancy, and usefulness.
IMPROVE INFORMATION DELIVERY
Based on our rigorous design process and industry best practices, we create effective information architectures that improve access, usability and comprehension.
DEVELOP a SCALABLE IA
Through the application of methodical techniques and effective conceptual schemas, we’ll help you improve your organisation’s ability to maintain and develop your content as your enterprise portal evolves.
where to start
We begin by understanding your business goals, requirements, and information needs for your intranet or enterprise portal. We then conduct research to uncover your user’s goals and behaviours and often conduct card sorting research with users before commencing IA development.
TIMING
The typical duration of IA development is 2-6 weeks.
how we do it
Once we understand our users, tasks and content, we look at the content from both top down and bottom up angles to devise the best structure for the content.
We then figure out how to structure the content of the site to best allow users to flow through their tasks.
We also look at the content from a long term point of view to allow the information structure to be scalable in the future.
