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.
