A wiki can be one of the solutions when organization is looking for an intranet that supports internal communication and collaboration. This was realized in a health sector research institute seeking a solution to replace its former, very static and centrally managed, intranet with a more user-friendly and collaboration oriented intranet solution.

This poster briefly describes the wiki-intranet project from the choosing and launching of the intranet to the first user survey. The results show that the implementation of the wiki-intranet has improved internal communication in the organisation. The poster also discusses the enabling factors and barriers for the use of the wiki-intranet.
