Wiki & Intranet/Extranet Deployment

Open‑source solutions for Wiki and intranet/extranet provide secure, scalable, and customizable document management. LINAGORA supports organizations in deployment, integration, and maintenance while guaranteeing sovereignty and cost control.

In a context where digital transformation and data sovereignty are becoming strategic issues, businesses and institutions are looking for reliable solutions to centralize, share, and secure their information. Deploying a Wiki or an intranet/extranet based on open‑source technologies today constitutes a proven answer. These tools help streamline internal communication, improve document management, and stimulate knowledge sharing among employees, partners, and customers.

According to a study by the Open Source Initiative, more than 78 % of organisations now adopt free software to reduce their dependence on proprietary vendors and benefit from greater transparency. At LINAGORA, we have supported numerous public and private companies in implementing solutions such as Drupal, WordPress, or Joomla, while guaranteeing high standards of security, interoperability, and customisation.

 

What is an open‑source Wiki and intranet/extranet deployment?

A Wiki is a collaborative space that allows the creation, modification, and publishing of content in a simple, structured way. An intranet is an internal communication platform, whereas an extranet extends that access to external partners or customers. The deployment of these open‑source solutions covers all technical and functional steps required to bring them into production and tailor them to business needs.

At LINAGORA, this includes:

  • Auditing existing needs (infrastructure, security, data volume).

  • Selecting the most suitable solution (Drupal, WordPress, Joomla, Elgg).
     
  • Designing the network and application architecture (servers, databases, reverse proxy, SSO).
     
  • Installing and configuring the application.
     
  • Customizing (themes, workflows, specific integrations).
     
  • Training users and administrators.
     

  • Providing technical support and evolutionary maintenance.
