What Bank IT Leaders Really Want from Intranet Software (But Rarely Get)
By SimplifyIT | Published
Another Flashy Demo. Another Letdown After Launch.
Most intranet platforms demo well. The UI looks slick. The features sound impressive. But once deployed, IT ends up holding the bag. Pages don't get updated. Search doesn't work. The whole thing gets ignored until the next audit. Sound familiar?
Here's What IT Leaders Actually Want
- Security that holds up to scrutiny - not just checkboxes, but real role-based access and audit logging
- Simple administration - you shouldn't need a developer to update a homepage or assign permissions
- Smart search - staff should be able to find the wire form or HR policy in seconds, not minutes
- Fast load times - especially in low-bandwidth branches
- Support that actually supports you - not a ticket system in a different time zone
What's Missing from Most Platforms?
Too many intranets are built for startups, agencies, or internal tech teams - not for banks. They assume you'll fill in the gaps. They don't understand what it means to be FFIEC-ready, or how examiners think about access logs.
