Hello, I'm trying to find some good intranet software for our business.
Here are the specifics that I am looking for:
It needs to have a calendar (several portal and cms software packages have this)
It would be nice to be able to share that calendar (optional)
Or it could be a public calendar that everyone posts on
(or possibly a calendar where you can make events public and private)
It also needs to have a personnel directory so people can lookup others' phone numbers and email addresses. I suppose this could be done through a "user's list" if the software used was something like php-nuke, drupal, etc...
Also, possibly the most important is that it needs to have timesheet capability. I have found this on some pieces of software as an add in module (xoop, drupal).
The timesheet does not have to be advanced (in fact, simple is nice). All it needs to do is have a place where a person can enter hours for the week and a description of what they worked on. Then the hours need to be sent to payroll every two weeks (or be able to set up the ability for payroll to retrieve the timesheets) so that they can be processed.
I have seen some software packages that will have "projects" that you create and then you say you worked on that project for a specific amount of time. This is unnecessary and almost unwanted, but I could probably work around it (and have employees work around it). For example, an hourly secretary does not need to enter what "projects" they worked on, but I could make a project called "General Secretary" or the such.
I would appreciate any feedback on anyone who has ideas about this and what software to use. I would especially appreciate any input from anyone who has set something like this up.
Thank you.
