"Our customers, which range from small business, to large global companies, needs are always changing, they are the foundation of our success, and providing them the best, most affordable and easiest to use corporate intranet solutions, is paramount to the Intranet DASHBOARD mission," Dobbin.
"With Intranet DASHBOARD 2.0, we are not only releasing fantastic new applications, but perhaps more importantly, we are applying our thorough understanding of all aspects of our client's workflow to deliver solutions that drive productivity."
"They spoke, and we listened, that's what we do best, we provide ONE product and ONE solution from ONE company, rather than a multi-vendor solution which inherently brings an added level of complexity to corporate intranet roll-outs," said Dobbin.

More companies also now depend on the intranet as the glue that binds together the organizational culture and helps deliver on the core business mission."
