Use Cases
Linchpin covers a lot of ground in order to simplify your daily business. Whether it’s supporting seamless collaboration or optimizing your work flows, Linchpin offers many options and functionality in order to help you.
Lukas
Project Manager
“As Project Manager, I’m looking for solutions that allow for efficient collaboration with customers and partners. I also need something that will keep me informed on all company-relevant news. Being able to document and maintain project-related content is also important to me. “
Keep focus with personalized content
Linchpin isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution for all staff within a company. It can be adapted to my needs. From a custom-fit start page and navigation, to relevant news, Linchpin gives me a personalized experience based on my profile settings such as language, department, or interests.
Up-to-Date regardless of time or place
With Linchpin I can keep up with all that’s happening. Thanks to the mobile Intranet app, I can access the latest news, take part in discussions or find the right contact person for my questions, from anywhere. The interactive Linchpin Touch Displays in the cantine or on the factory floor bring the news to colleagues even if they’re not on a computer.
A central communication hub: internally and externally
Whether with partners, customers, or suppliers, Linchpin allows me to exchange information with all parties in protected areas, make necessary documents available, and manage access rights.
Martin
In-House IT
“As head of our In-House IT department, I need a system that can be quickly integrated into our existing infrastructure. Data migration should be problem-free and the system should document all IT processes. Being able to communicate with colleagues also plays a huge part.“
Visualization of workflows
A picture says more than a thousand words. The visualization of workflows and network structures with UML diagrams, flow charts, and network diagrams is made possible through Linchpin’s ability to integrate diagrams of any kind, easily and quickly.
Link to the internal user directory
For authentification processes, and user or group management, I can link Linchpin to our existing Active User Directory. Each case is supported via local connectors:
- Microsoft Active Directory
- Apache Directory Server (ApacheDS)
- Apple Open Directory
- and many more…
Quickly and actively share information with colleagues
Linchpin doesn’t only stand for sustainable knowledge management but also for transparency in communication and collaboration. Thanks to its integration of E-mail, telephone, and chat software, I don’t have to switch to another system to communicate with my colleagues. Modern community features enable a simple and always in-context exchange of ideas, questions, and current topics.
Anna
Human Ressources
“Heading up the HR department means I’m looking for a solution that can support us during our new employee onboarding process. New employees should have access to the relevant training courses and be able to register for them.”
Enabling an easy start
I pave the way for new employees with Linchpin. It allows for a simplified, smooth entry into the system and ultimately into the company. New employees can enter the relevant information into the system one step at a time. This lays the foundation for a personalized user experience.
Find an expert easily and quickly
My staff needs professional support and the right person to fulfill their needs. Linchpin offers a great solution: the expert-search with a well-thought-out filter function. The solution makes sure that my employees find exactly the person they need – for example, a colleague that works in HR, located in Frankfurt, knowledgeable in Business English, and who is also familiar with G Suite.
Events and workshops at a glance
Linchpin integrates personal appointments in my company. I can create events in our Intranet and share them with my colleagues. In just a few steps I can set the location, date, and background information for an onboarding workshop, summer party, or team meeting. I can keep an eye on who has registered and if there are still free places available. Events or appointments that I sign-up for show up in my personal calendar automatically.
