Odyssey Interactive Announces Interact: Cost-Effective, Complete Intranet Solution

Groundbreaking new intranet suite offers fully customised business solution at entry-level investment.

ALTRINCHAM, 15 April 2002 - Odyssey Interactive, leading North West web development company (www.odyssey-i.com), today announced the availability of its new intranet software suite: Interact. Interact offers advanced intranet technology at enterprise level, with rapid deployment and a fast return on investment.

Odysseys Interact comprises a core intranet system plus additional, optional modules. Johnathan Briggs, Director at Odyssey, explained: Businesses are increasingly aware of the administrative and cost-benefits of intranets, but the time and investment involved in securing a suitable solution can be a major hurdle. Odyssey has developed Interact to offer a genuinely cost-effective intranet solution. Organisations can choose exactly what they want - and enjoy the benefits of a customised solution - at a price they can afford."

The core intranet system of Interact offers key business features: content and document management, a staff directory, and controllable sections for different departments. It is fully customised by Odyssey for each client. The Interact modules offer extended functionality and features for specific business processes. These can be integrated in the initial project or added seamlessly later, and include:

-   Company notice boards,
-   Discussion forums,
-   Management reporting,
-   CRM and prospecting tools.

The modular design offers a cost-effective, flexible intranet solution which can be customised for all environments. It enables businesses to focus investment on specific areas to maximise returns, and also accelerates deployment.

Briggs continued: At Odyssey, we have designed and delivered intranet solutions for a wide range of organisations, and Interact is the result of over six years research and development. The product offers customers the benefits of our experience - with it, we can put fully featured, made-to-order intranets within the scope of most organisations."

Odyssey Interactives intranet clients include the NHS, ServiceSource Europe, and Mosscare Housing Association. George Buchan, managing director of ServiceSource Europe, commented: People are familiar with using the Internet, so representatives have found our Make a Difference Intranet very easy to use. Like many organisations, we already had a corporate network, and Odyssey implemented the solution on our existing infrastructure, meaning it was very cost effective. Odyssey not only helped us to implement Make a Difference but also, more importantly, understands our business goals and objectives."
