Webinar Summary

This month’s Office Hours featured an intranet tour of Fuscoe Engineering’s Synthesis intranet, ARC. Launching a Synthesis intranet in the fall of 2016 was an important milestone in Fuscoe’s knowledge management journey. Highlights of the new intranet include:

Analog Communities of Practice got a digital home

Disconnected and siloed key information about employees and projects is now accessible to all employees in a single system

Employees can now find fundamental information about how work is done at Fuscoe via a single, informative toolbox
