Enterprise social network with MediaWiki

Increase exchanges and productivity, switch to enterprise 2.0 with acorporate social network in the form of a wiki

By setting up a corporate wiki with MediaWiki, an open source and free software, you will also create a de facto corporate social network by allowing your employees to:

Discuss on a dedicated page the content of each wiki article
Create their own page grouping their contact details, their skills
Follow the modifications of certain pages of the wiki
Follow the contributions of certain colleagues
Be notified by email when a page is modified
Share documents, links, articles, best practices...

Your corporate social network will become much more than an internal communication tool.

Fine management of user rights

You can configure your wiki so that it is as open as possible or, on the contrary, for internal company wikis, it can only be modified by certain people.

Examples of possible configuration of modification rights from the most liberal to the strictest:

Free edition including by anonymous visitors
Editing by registered users
Editing by registered users who have provided a valid email address
Editing by registered users for some time
Editing by users belonging to a certain group
Edit only by administrators

Features of reading and validation of modifications can also be implemented, at the end of an edition a notification may appear indicating:

that the page has not been proofread;
that a modification has been made but that it is not yet validated, only the last validated version then appears.

Benefits of a corporate social network fewer emails
