What Bank Intranet Software Should Do in 2025

By SimplifyIT | Published

It's Not Just a Document Library Anymore

In 2025, your intranet should be more than a dumping ground for outdated PDFs. It should guide employees, automate onboarding, trigger workflows, and help you stay audit-ready - all while being fast, secure, and easy to update.

Security and Compliance Come First

Regulators aren't getting easier to deal with. Your intranet should help prove compliance with policy acknowledgments, permission-controlled content, and an audit trail of changes. It should support NCUA, FFIEC, and internal review processes - not work against them.

Employee Onboarding Should Be Seamless

Paper checklists and shared spreadsheets are no longer acceptable for onboarding. A modern bank intranet should assign tasks, collect approvals, and log acknowledgments from day one - and connect directly to help desk workflows when needed.

Search Must Actually Work

Bank staff don't have time to dig through menus. Intranet search should feel like Google - fast, intelligent, and able to surface the right forms, policies, or procedures instantly. Bonus points if it supports natural language queries.

It Should Look and Feel Like Your Institution

Your intranet shouldn't feel like off-the-shelf software. Custom branding, department-specific layouts, and role-based views should come standard - without requiring design skills or outside consultants.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is intranet software different from a shared drive or SharePoint site?
A modern intranet includes workflow automation, permission controls, search, policy tracking, and audit trails - not just file storage. It's designed to help staff take action, not just find documents.
Can intranet software really help with audits?
Yes. SimplifyIT tracks acknowledgments, form submissions, task history, and access changes - all of which can be exported to satisfy internal audits or FDIC/NCUA examiners.
Do banks and credit unions need different intranet tools?
Not always. The core needs - onboarding, communication, policy access, search, and compliance visibility - are nearly identical. SimplifyIT supports both types of institutions with flexible, role-based configurations.
