Using RSS as an Internal Communications System
There are almost limitless opportunities for using RSS as a channel for
internal communications.
To give you just an idea of what we’re talking about, we’ll start with three
very basic and different examples of exactly how RSS can be applied to your
every day corporate life.
- Mission Critical Mass Updates and Notices
One company
uses RSS feeds as a security awareness mechanism at a Zoo, making security
updates, such as missing children or handbags, immediately available to Zoo
security sites and personnel with wireless devices. - Sharing Key Business Data
Another company uses RSS
as a consulting billing awareness tool. The consultants create activity reports
and the RSS feeds from the activity channels carry the billable information to
the accounting staff for invoice preparation. - Sharing Key Business Documents
Yet
another company we’ve spoken with uses RSS to internally share key business
documents within pre-defined teams, especially PowerPoint presentations,
proposals in progress and PDF files. By using RSS they’re creating a linear
server-side content and versioning archive, which can be accessed by everyone
with access to the specific content channel, as well as preventing large files
from stopping their e-mail business communications.
Three completely different examples, but all demonstrating how RSS brings
more efficientcy, reliability and delivery to the internal communications
table.
