Tiivistelmä
This bachelor’s project was carried out to reengineer Intra, the current intranet system of FCG Finnish Consulting Group Oy to develop a new intranet system called FCG Wintra.
The FCG intranet system Intra contains different manuals and instructions regarding the facilities provided by FCG as an employer to the employees. It also allows FCG management to publish announcements, news and press releases to keep the employees up-to-date with the current situation at FCG. Intra is also connected with FCG’s other tools that are used widely by the employees for the day-to-day work life.
As Intra was developed already in 2009, its overall structure and look and feel have become out-dated, and performance has dropped due to high volumes of data. Therefore, a decision was made to reengineer Intra and develop Wintra, which would contain the existing features in an optimized manner with improved user-friendly interfaces along with some new features. A plan was made to create a multi-level easy-to-navigate top menu, module-wise side-sub-menu, slider image carousel and breaking news in the home page, new faces of the recently recruited employees, employee MIS that will be populated from the Active Directory server where the employee information is entered via the Human Resource system. Wintra will also contain web forms to request for visiting cards as well as propose a new idea or initiative to FCG management regarding anything and everything so that the management can communicate further with the person and decide whether to implement the proposed idea.
Wintra has been developed on the top of Drupal 8 framework, using PHP & MariaDB technology on Nginx web server environment based on a CentOS server operating system.
Wintra is also integrated with other existing systems of FCG that are used on a regular basis, such as Project time tracking tool, Purchase requisition tool, Office expense reimbursement claim tool, etc. The outcome of this project is the new intranet system Wintra which has already become the standard for the internal applications of FCG, in terms of look and feel, user-friendliness of the interfaces as well as server structures.
