Very Exciting

This blog entry originally appeared on my Johnson & Johnson blog. Unfortunately, that blog is only accessible from the JnJ intranet. I have republished it here as it was originally written, with the original date and time. Please note that most of the links will be inaccessible to non-JnJ readers, but have been preserved as a reference.

So apparently my first efforts within the JnJ blogosphere have not been in vain. Today I received a comment from Nathan Wallace, the Associate Director of Information Technology for Janssen-Cilag Australia & New Zealand. He has informed me that not only does JnJ have blogging and wiki technology, but there are OpCos that are using wiki technology for their intranets. What is even more exciting is that after surfing around JANAUs intranet (JCintra) I was amazed at how much content was available and how seamless it was presented. This is in spite of, or perhaps because of, the collaborative effort by which the content is updated and maintained.

At Therakos, our intranet site’s content is maintained by a single administrator. I am unsure if other Therakos employees have the ability to add content via some form of document upload, pdf submission, etc. However, the basic structure and overall content is controlled by a single person. Are there other companies out in JnJ that are using something similar to JCintra for their internal sites? If so, does anyone know if there are opportunities for this technology to be leveraged by an OpCo, franchise, sector, etc.?
