Communication chaos and lack of access to information - do you know this problem?
Intranet will help you
Many companies struggle with information overload. Important announcements get lost in a flood of email, documents are scattered across multiple drives, and employees spend hours searching for the latest information. There is no single, central place where everyone can quickly find the information they need–from procedures to contacts to company news. As a result, internal communication stalls and collaboration between departments can be difficult.
Is your organization experiencing these problems? An intranet system is the answer - it organizes information, facilitates communication and promotes a culture of teamwork.

Having doubts about implementing an intranet system?
Questions are a natural part of the process of implementing a new intranet system. Here are the most common concerns and our answers to help you overcome your doubts:
Three ways to use our intranet system
Choose the implementation model that suits your needs and resources.
Intranet implementation process
You don't have to worry about a long project. Our implementation process is proven and geared towards quick results.
At the beginning, we choose one of the paths:
1. Quick intranet implementation
2. Customized implementation
1. Quick implementation on the cloud version
It allows you to implement the intranet system in your organization and start using it in a short period of time.
This is a good choice for organizations that don't yet have detailed requirements for the intranet system. After some time, you can switch from this version to the customized version.
2. Customized implementation
It's a good option for organizations that already have precisely defined requirements.
In this case, the intranet implementation process usually has the following stages:
- Needs analysis
- Offer preparation
- Graphic design
- Programming
- Testing
- Implementation on the production server
- User training
- Maintenance and development
During the needs analysis phase, we mainly discuss the following:
- changes to the appearance of the default intranet template,
- migration of existing data (e.g. from the current intranet),
- integration of user accounts (LDAP, Google, Microsoft, etc.),
- integration with external systems (AI, CRM, ERP, project management systems, etc.),
- dedicated functionalities and automations,
- notifications (e-mail, text message, in a mobile application, etc.),
- dedicated content types (e.g. announcements, photo galleries, user groups, discussion forum, etc.),
- removal of unnecessary functionalities,
- planning the implementation over time (what will appear in version 1.0 and what in the following months),
- adjusting the server to the size of the organization and securing it.
How much does an intranet system from Droptica cost?
We have several implementation models and we adjust them to the client's budget.
Droptica's intranet pricing is influenced by factors such as:
- the size of the organization and the intensity of system use (how many users, how many GB of data for files and databases, how often they will log in and use it),
- the choice of Cloud hosting or on-premise installation.
- changes to the baseline version of the system before implementation (upgrades, integrations, data migration, etc.).
- improvements during the use of the system.
- the scope of support after implementation (security updates, 24/7 support, response times, etc.).
Based on these factors, we present an offer to the client.
Why should you implement an intranet system with Droptica?
By choosing Droptica, you gain an experienced partner who will guide you through the entire process of creating an intranet - from concept to maintenance. Here are a few reasons why clients choose us.
Our know-how translates into quality, security and scalability of the intranets we implement. This way, you can be sure that your project is in good hands with open source experts.
Having second thoughts about choosing an intranet from Droptica?
We understand that choosing a provider is a big decision. Here is what we hear most often from clients and how we address these concerns:
Will the intranet project be completed on time?
Yes, because we use a set of ready-made functionalities and proven modules. We also have an experienced team that focuses on iterative delivery of features. Thanks to transparent communication, you know what stage we are at any given moment, and our Agile approach minimizes the risk of delays.
Won't the intranet cost more than the budget?
We make sure that the project stays within the budget. We suggest a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for the intranet, which already brings value, and additional functions can be added gradually. You avoid overpaying for unnecessary options. In addition, open source eliminates license costs, which significantly reduces the total cost of ownership.
What about support after the intranet system has been implemented?
We don't leave our clients to fend for themselves. We offer various post-implementation support packages – from ad hoc assistance to a fixed SLA technical service. You can choose the level of support that suits you. The Droptica team responds quickly to requests and ensures the continuity of your intranet.
Is Droptica really an expert?
We are highly specialized in Drupal and intranet systems, which is confirmed by our projects and satisfied clients. We publish case studies and testimonials that show the results of our work. As an active member of the open source community, we constantly improve our skills and follow the latest trends to provide the best solutions.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about intranet implementation
We can set up a basic intranet (with standard functions) in just 1-2 weeks. A full implementation including customization usually takes a few weeks to a few months, depending on the scope of work and integration. However, with our starter package, you can begin adding content almost immediately, and the rest of the functionality can be developed iteratively.
The interface of our intranet is very intuitive – it resembles typical web applications. For most users, working with the intranet will therefore feel natural. In addition, we provide basic instructional training (e.g. a short video or presentation) for all employees to ensure a smooth start. Administrators and content editors receive more in-depth training so that they can manage the intranet system independently.
Our intranet is based on Drupal 10 (PHP 8) – if you implement it yourself (open source), you'll need a server with PHP/MySQL (or PostgreSQL) support. In the case of the cloud and on-premise versions, we take care of the entire infrastructure, so from the client's side, only a web browser and internet access for users are needed. The system works in a browser - it doesn't require installation on employees' computers.
Yes. Drupal is known for its integration capabilities. We can connect the intranet to Active Directory/LDAP for single sign-on, to Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 (calendars, documents), to HR systems (e.g. downloading organizational structure, vacation data) or to other applications via API. We use ready-made integration modules or create dedicated integrations - depending on your needs.
Of course. We have experience in migrating content from various sources (files, SharePoint, databases, etc.) to our intranet. During the analysis phase, we determine what data needs to be transferred and in what form. Then, we prepare migration tools that automatically import data into the new intranet, preserving the structure and links. This allows your company to smoothly transition to the new system without losing important information.
