Finance/Accounting/Purchasing

The Finance/Accounting/Purchasing section draws visitors from every division and department. The ability to track
personal payroll and retirement-plan information, file expense reports, or track sick days on-line makes it easy for
employees to get clear pictures of their personal employee profiles. This encourages people to visit the site frequently
and to keep their on-line personal information up-to-date and accurate.

Tips for Your Intranet:

- When viewing financial data, it is essential to require multiple passwords and create restrictions for access to
specific types of information.
- Many companies already have months or years of accounting and other financial information archived on
"legacy" systems which may require specific expertise from consultants and/or systems integrators to connect
to your intranet.

timely, accurate financial information.
