## About the Intranet

In September 2020, BSH launched its new intranet based on [Atlassian Confluence and Linchpin](https://www.xalt.de/en/confluence-intranet-with-linchpin/) as its new intranet and shut down its Microsoft Sharepoint platform.

The social intranet makes it easy to communicate with colleagues and allows employees to easily find the information they need. It also provides easy access to all kinds of resources the employees need.

Some of the main features of the BSH Intranet are:

### Social communication and engagement

The social intranet makes it easy to connect and engage with colleagues. Using the intranet, employees can connect not only with their team but even with colleagues across different departments and subsidiaries within BSH.

The social intranet enables employees and managers to engage in digital dialog. It is a social network for all BSH employees. Social functions such as liking, sharing, and commenting on posts are integrated here.

### A News Hub

All important news about products, events, or other topics relevant to employees is displayed on the main landing page for everyone to read at any time. The solution makes it easy to publish news that is important for the entire BSH staff or even for specific countries or subsidiaries.

### A centralized hub for all employees

The new intranet provides all vital information, links, and resources BSH employees need right at the plan of their hands.
