Intranet or Enterprise Social Network (ESN)

  Earlier intranet was mainly used to store and share the documents with the employees of the organization but now the organizations are evolving in real sense and going towards more social . Enterprise Social Network is the new thing which is replacing intranet by giving employees more access to information and increasing collaboration in a way increasing the employee engagement. Increasing content on such portals making it difficult for employees to search the right information with ease and simplicity, so it would be difficult to say ESN will completely replace Intranet but yes ESN will surely evolve and will provide more functionalities along with document storage .

Five points to consider to save Big data projects from failure

Smart use of Animation in developing Mobile Applications

Everyone knows how different objects work in real life and they want the software applications to work in a similar fashion because it would be easy for individuals to understand the application in a better way. Confidentiality integrity and availability (CIA) approach should always be there in designing any application along with that simplicity, responsiveness and attractiveness are the important factors. Out of the millions applications available on App store only few applications became successful , so use good design and aesthetics but not to try bringing out something out of the world animation which would be difficult to use for new users .
